Product Engineer / TypeScript / Angular / Java / PHX

Job Title: Product Engineer / TypeScript / Angular / Java
Job Location: Tempe, Arizona 85281
Job Duration: 5 months with possible extension
Position Overview
Product Engineer / Full-Stack Developer with 5-7+ years of professional development experience.

• Must be located in or willing to relocate to the Phoenix, AZ area. Hybrid requirement is non-negotiable: onsite three days per week.
• Full-stack position, but the work is weighted heavily toward front-end development.
• Primary need is advanced Angular and TypeScript expertise; the strongest candidates will be true front-end experts who can also contribute to the Java backend.
• Angular 17+ experience is preferred; the current team is using Angular 20.
• Must understand Angular architecture and underlying concepts-not just have experience modifying existing components.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript development skills required.
• Backend experience should include Java with Spring or Spring Boot.
• Must be comfortable delivering incremental user stories in a mature, enterprise-scale application.
• Team supports the search, flight availability, and booking portions of AA.com-the beginning stages of the customer flight-booking journey.
• Work will include new feature delivery, UI/layout changes, support for new products and design requirements, framework/version upgrades, refactoring, and front-end technical-debt reduction.
• This is a mature platform that undergoes frequent incremental and structural changes rather than a purely greenfield environment.
• Airline experience is a plus, but not required; technical strength in Angular and TypeScript is significantly more important.
• Cloud experience is not a major screening factor. The application currently runs exclusively in IBM, but this engineer will not own pipeline maintenance.
