About The Role

Equinix is seeking a highly motivated Staff Full Stack Developer with a strong focus on Digital Experience to join our Bangalore office. In this role, you will design, build, and launch scalable software solutions that meet customer requirements using a state-of-the-art technology stack and best engineering practices. You will be responsible for building critical applications and features at a global scale, delivering a world-class experience for the Equinix procurement function.

As a Staff Full Stack Developer, you will own the technical roadmap, serve as the primary technical SME, and collaborate across IT, security, and business teams to deliver secure, compliant, and scalable AI-driven applications.

This role is ideal for a highly skilled engineer passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technologies across the full stack—modern front-end frameworks such as React.js, Angular, Vue.js, and HTML5, combined with robust back-end platforms like Node.js, Express.js, Django, and Spring Boot—to solve complex, real-world problems. We’re looking for someone with exceptional engineering fundamentals, a deep understanding of scalable architecture, and strong product intuition to deliver high-impact solutions with precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Front-End Development Design and deliver responsive, scalable, and accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA) world-class UI/UX solutions using React and TypeScript. Ensure strong state management, performance optimization, and intuitive user experiences for large-scale audiences. Understand the bigger picture and all user personas to design and build secure, scalable applications that deliver a seamless experience and create a true WOW factor for customers.
• Back-End & Microservices Build and maintain secure, scalable microservices using Java (Spring Boot/Quarkus/Micronaut) and Node.js (NestJS/Express). Define API contracts (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), govern schemas (Avro/Protobuf), and ensure consistency, idempotency, and observability.
• Architecture & System Design Develop end-to-end product flows and robust system architectures. Architect secure, multi-cloud applications across AWS/GCP/Azure; design portable, resilient solutions; manage containerization and Kubernetes deployments (Helm/Kustomize, GitOps). Apply domain-driven design (DDD) principles for modeling and modular architecture.
• DevOps & CI/CD Establish CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Azure DevOps. Implement progressive delivery strategies (canary/blue-green) and feature flagging (LaunchDarkly).
• Security & Compliance Enforce security by design: OAuth2/OIDC/SAML, JWT, RBAC; manage secrets (Vault); ensure supply-chain security (image scanning).
• Observability & Operational Excellence Instrument services with OpenTelemetry; implement logging, metrics, and tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Jaeger). Define SLOs/SLIs and create incident response/runbooks.
• Collaboration & Leadership Work closely with Product Managers, SRE/Platform, and SecOps teams to deliver integrated, compliant solutions. Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and foster an inclusive, collaborative environment.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement Evaluate emerging technologies (especially AI/ML), run proof-of-concepts, and recommend adoption strategies with clear ROI and risk trade-offs.

Required Qualifications

• 4 - 8 years of experience designing, building, and scaling enterprise-grade applications that deliver measurable business impact and exceptional user experiences.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Proven track record in developing end-to-end customer-focused solutions, including buying/procurement experiences or similar applications.
• Full-stack development proficiency: relational data modeling, DB optimization, REST API design, JavaScript, CSS, and delivering APIs as a service.
• Strong experience in React & TypeScript, modern CSS frameworks (Tailwind, Styled Components, CSS Modules), accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), and performance optimization (SSR/ISR).
• Backend expertise: Node.js (NestJS/Express) and Java (Spring Boot); relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and ORM tools (JOOQ/JPA/Hibernate).
• API design and lifecycle management: REST, GraphQL, gRPC; versioning, pagination, rate limiting, and security best practices.
• Deep knowledge of AWS, GCP, and Azure; containerization with Docker and Kubernetes (workloads, networking, storage, autoscaling, PodDisruptionBudgets).
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps) and GitOps tools (Argo CD, Flux). Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and automated deployment strategies.
• End-to-end testing expertise: unit, integration, e2e, contract testing (Pact), TestContainers, frontend tests (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright), and performance/load testing (k6/JMeter).
• Familiarity with caching (Redis, Memcached) and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Familiarity with Observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack; logging, monitoring, and alerting.
• Strong understanding of domain-driven design (DDD) and API lifecycle management.
• Solid grasp of software engineering best practices: version control, CI/CD, automated testing.
• Ability to work asynchronously across teams and time zones with excellent communication and influence skills.
• Experience with enterprise application integration (ERP, Procurement systems) and Source-to-Pay processes is a plus.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and experience working in Agile teams.
