Optomi
Lead Software Engineer – Front End Focused (React/TypeScript + Java + AWS) – On-Site in Jersey City, NJ
Optomi, in partnership with a leading financial services company, is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to fulfill a contract-to-hire opportunity for a client based in Jersey City, NJ.
As a Lead Software Engineer, you will serve as a senior hands-on contributor within an agile engineering team focused on building and enhancing customer-facing applications in a modern cloud environment. This role is heavily weighted toward front-end development, with approximately 60–70% of the work centered around building modern UI components and experiences using React and/or Angular.
The ideal candidate will have a strong UI engineering background while also bringing enough full stack knowledge to build basic APIs, contribute to backend services, and operate effectively within a Java Spring Boot AWS ecosystem. This is not a purely architectural role. The team is looking for someone who can independently lead modules, contribute to design discussions, mentor junior engineers, and remain deeply hands-on in development.
