E-commerce Platform Overhaul

• Objective: Modernize the front end and backend of the e-commerce platform.
• Front End: Transition from a Java monolith framework to a more modern, reactive framework using React and TypeScript.
• Back End: Implement microservices using Java to replace or augment the existing monolithic structure.
• Special Features: Development of a 3D parts picker tool, which indicates a move towards more interactive and technically sophisticated web applications.
• Integration Needs: Incorporate various third-party integrations for functions like accounting and purchasing, emphasizing the need for robust backend integration skills.

Warehouse Management System (WMS) Update

• Objective: Update the existing warehouse management system to improve logistics and inventory management.
• Technologies: While not specified, such a system would likely require strong backend development skills in Java and database management, and possibly front end updates for system interfaces.

Microservices Architecture Implementation

• Objective: Transition backend services to a microservices architecture to improve scalability and maintainability.
• Requirements: Deep expertise in Java and experience with spring and spring boot, as well as knowledge of microservices patterns and practices.

Front End Modernization

• Objective: Shift all front-end development to React and enhance state management using Redux and Redux Saga.
• Technical Assignment: A date picker functionality is developed as a part of the technical screening to assess candidates’ proficiency in front end technologies and problem-solving skills without relying on third-party libraries.

System Design Enhancements

• Objective: Address complex system design challenges across the platform to meet growing business requirements.
• Requirements: Senior backend developers are expected to engage in system design questions that require an understanding of both the service and persistence layers.

Quality Assurance Automation

• Objective: Strengthen the quality assurance process by implementing automated testing frameworks using Cypress and Appium.
• Challenges: Finding qualified candidates with the necessary expertise in both tools, indicating a high demand for advanced skills in automation testing.
• Front End Development
• Technologies and Tools:
• React with TypeScript: Used for building user interfaces, paired with TypeScript for type safety.
• Redux and Redux Saga: For state management and handling asynchronous events.
• Styling: Emphasis on experience with specific styling methodologies (unspecified in the script but critical).

Technical Assignment:

 A date picker functionality is used as a test case in the technical assignment to evaluate candidates' skills.

• Candidates are expected to avoid using third-party libraries for date picking to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities.

Specialized Development:

• Development of a 3D parts picker tool, indicating the need for developers who can work with complex, interactive tools that integrate with backend systems.

Back End Development

Technologies and Tools:

• Java and Spring Boot: Main technologies for backend development.
• Database Skills: Proficiency with relational databases is essential, and knowledge of NoSQL databases is a plus.

Technical Assignment:

• Involves system design questions that encompass service and persistence layers.
• Candidates are expected to demonstrate their ability to write maintainable, well-documented code.

Experience Requirements:

• A minimum of seven years of experience in Java, with a strong emphasis on Spring Boot.
