Technical Lead Analyst

Job description

Are you an engineering leader who thrives at the intersection of modern React UI architecture, robust Java microservices, and cutting-edge GenAI-driven rapid development? We are building Vendor Master Central (VMC)—an enterprise-grade master registry and market reference data conduit that cleanses, deduplicates, and curates market data services, supplier contracts, billing allocations, and application mappings across the firm.

We are seeking a C13 Lead Full Stack Engineer in India to drive the frontend architecture and end-to-end full-stack delivery of the VMC application. In this role, you will champion a React & TypeScript frontend ecosystem (handling virtualized data grids, curation drawers, taxonomy queues, and bulk Excel enrichment engines) backed by scalable Java 25 / Spring Boot microservices. Crucially, you will spearhead our GenAI-first engineering culture leveraging autonomous AI engineering tools like Devin, GitHub Copilot, and AI-assisted scaffolding agents to accelerate prototyping, test synthesis, and feature delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Architect the VMC Maintenance Workbench: Lead the design and implementation of modern React/TypeScript single-page applications, including high-performance virtualized data grids , dynamic column choosers, multi-dimensional filter panels, and real-time data quality indicators.

Complex UI Workflows

Build interactive analyst curation tools, including: Single-Record Curation Drawer: Clear visual separation of source vs. analyst-override values, contract relinking workflows, and enrichment rule status.

Taxonomy Assignment Queue

Workflow triage interfaces for L1/L2 service classification and hierarchy proposals.

Bulk Excel Engine Integration

Frontend/Backend parsing and validation workflows for downloadable/uploadable Excel curation templates with locked columns and dynamic schema validation.

Full Stack Cohesion

Design clean, contract-first REST APIs in Java (Spring Boot) to support seamless frontend pagination, sorting, audit log querying (AuditChangeHistory), and role-based permissions (Admin, Analyst, Viewer).

Pioneer AI-Assisted Development

Embed autonomous AI software engineering tools (such as Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor) into daily sprint workflows to automate boilerplate generation, component scaffolding, migration scripts, and refactoring.

Velocity & Quality Amplification

Leverage GenAI to rapidly synthesize unit/integration test suites (Jest/React Testing Library, JUnit5/Testcontainers), generate OpenAPI contracts, and accelerate end-to-end delivery cycles.

Evaluate & Mentor

Coach junior and senior engineers on effective prompt engineering, context engineering, and AI agent orchestration for rapid, high-quality development.

State Management & UI Performance

Ensure client-side performance, optimistic UI updates, robust error boundaries, and seamless SSO integration.

Data Integrity & Audit

Implement full field-level traceability, ensuring every mutation is captured in VMC's 7-year immutable audit log with instant visual change-history inspection.

Standards & CI/CD

Drive modern CI/CD automation (containerized builds, automated PR validation, linting, security scans) and enforce enterprise security standards.

What We Are Looking For

Core Technical Experience (8–12+ Years)

Frontend Mastery (React & Modern Web)

Expert-level React (18+), TypeScript, and modern JavaScript (ES6+). Deep experience with high-performance data grid libraries (AG Grid, TanStack Table, or virtualized grid architectures). Modern state management (Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or React Query / TanStack Query) and styling frameworks (Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, or Design Systems). Client-side file handling (parsing/generating .xlsx structures, template validation).

Backend Proficiency (Java Ecosystem)

Strong background in Java (21 / 25), Spring Boot 4.x, and Spring Data. Experience designing clean, secure, and resilient RESTful APIs, microservices, and relational data access (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQL Server).

GenAI & Rapid Engineering Tooling

Hands-on experience using Devin, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or custom LLM-based coding agents to boost personal and team velocity. Strong understanding of how to supervise and verify AI-generated code for security, correctness, and performance. Leadership & Collaboration Proven track record leading agile technical pods, conducting high-signal code reviews, and mentoring C11/C12 engineers. Ability to translate complex functional specifications into pragmatic technical architectures and intuitive user experiences.

Strong communication skills to partner directly with Product Managers, UX Designers, and global engineering peers (Belfast, London, NY). ------------------------------------------------------ Job Family Group: Technology ------------------------------------------------------ Job Family: Applications Development ------------------------------------------------------ Time Type: Full time ------------------------------------------------------ Most Relevant Skills Please see the requirements listed above. ------------------------------------------------------ Other Relevant Skills For complementary skills, please see above and/or contact the recruiter. ------------------------------------------------------ Citi is an equal opportunity employer, and qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, status as a protected veteran, or any other characteristic protected by law.
