Working Hours: U.S. client business hours (with flexibility for sprint planning, deployments, and on-call coverage), 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.

ResponsibilitiesFront-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

  • Configure and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or equivalent tools
  • 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, 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
