This is a platform role not a feature role. Most of the work is not screens. It is the framework other teams build their screens outof:a dependency-injection and plugin system that retailers and partners extend through a configuration merge chain that resolves customer overrides a device layer that talks to lane hardware a legacy Dojo application that must keep shipping beside the modern client and the build train that releases all of it together.

The role requires experience building solutions on and Java enterprise technologies with a focus on complex browser-side functionality. The ideal candidate will excel in our fast-paced collaborative customer-first environment and is looking for a path into architecture rather than a larger backlog.

• Maintain backward compatibility for plugins and customizations built against earlier framework versions

• Publish versioned shared packages consumed by other teams with real semantic-versioning and deprecation discipline
