About the Role

Our client is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to build, scale, and maintain modern web applications and the infrastructure that powers them. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on full-stack product development, cloud infrastructure, system reliability, and engineering excellence.

You will work across front-end interfaces, back-end services, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and system monitoring to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-performing applications. Beyond shipping features, this role also involves mentoring developers, contributing to architecture decisions, and improving long-term platform stability and maintainability.

The ideal candidate is a strong end-to-end engineer who thrives in fast-paced product environments and enjoys balancing speed, scalability, reliability, and technical quality.

Responsibilities

Front-End Development

• Build modern, responsive user interfaces using React, Angular, or Vue

• Translate Figma or Sketch designs into pixel-perfect, production-ready experiences

• Optimize applications for performance, accessibility, and responsiveness

• Build reusable UI components and scalable front-end architecture

• Ensure compatibility across browsers and devices

Back-End Development

• Develop and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Node.js, Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), or Java

• Build secure authentication and authorization systems with role-based access control

• Design and optimize database schemas and queries across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB

• Implement scalable server-side business logic and integrations

• Improve application reliability, scalability, and performance

Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering

• Manage containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes

• Monitor infrastructure performance, reliability, and deployment health

• Support scalable cloud-native architecture and deployment practices

Testing & Engineering Quality

• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Jest, Mocha, PyTest, Cypress, or similar frameworks

• Maintain high automated test coverage and engineering quality standards

• Conduct peer code reviews and enforce clean coding practices

• Troubleshoot production issues and performance bottlenecks efficiently

Monitoring, Reliability & Security

• Monitor systems using Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar tools

• Implement logging, alerting, and observability best practices

• Apply secure coding principles aligned with OWASP Top 10 standards

• Ensure systems comply with GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, or other relevant compliance requirements

• Support uptime, resiliency, and disaster recovery initiatives

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to turn requirements into scalable technical solutions

• Lead technical discussions and contribute to architecture planning

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, guidance, and pairing

• Contribute to long-term technical roadmaps and engineering standards

• Participate actively in sprint ceremonies, planning, and technical estimation

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

• Strong full-stack engineer capable of owning features end-to-end

• Experienced in scaling systems and improving infrastructure reliability

• Hands-on problem solver who thrives in technical environments

• Strong communicator who collaborates effectively across teams

• Balances rapid execution with maintainable architecture and code quality

• Passionate about mentoring and improving engineering culture

Required Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript with React and Node.js

• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB)

• Hands-on cloud deployment experience using AWS, GCP, or Azure

• Strong understanding of Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines

• Experience building APIs, scalable applications, and production systems

• Strong debugging, optimization, and troubleshooting skills

Ideal Experience & Skills

• Experience leading architecture reviews and technical design sessions

• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation)

• Background building SaaS or high-traffic applications

• Experience with microservices, event-driven systems, or serverless architectures

• Familiarity with Kubernetes orchestration and distributed systems

• Exposure to observability, performance engineering, and cloud cost optimization

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

A Senior Full Stack Software Engineer’s day revolves around building features, improving infrastructure, and ensuring system reliability. You will:

• Join standups and align with engineering and product teams on sprint priorities

• Build full-stack features across APIs, databases, and front-end interfaces

• Review pull requests and mentor engineers through technical feedback

• Investigate and resolve bugs, outages, and performance bottlenecks

• Collaborate with product managers and designers on implementation strategies and UX flows

• Deploy updates through CI/CD pipelines and monitor infrastructure health

• Contribute to technical planning, architecture decisions, and platform improvements

In essence: you are both a hands-on builder and technical leader, ensuring systems remain scalable, reliable, secure, and continuously improving.
