JOB DESCRIPTION We are seeking a Lead Full Stack Engineer to drive the development of end-to-end technology solutions across web, mobile, and cloud platforms. In this role, you'll lead architectural decisions, guide a team of engineers, and build high-performance, scalable applications from concept to production. As a technical leader, you'll balance hands-on development with mentorship, system design, and cross-functional collaboration. You will work closely with product managers, designers, DevOps engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions in a CI/CD-driven, agile environment.
Responsibilities • Lead the design, development, and maintenance of full-stack applications using technologies such as JavaScript, Python, PySpark, Angular, React, and Node.js. • Architect and build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces alongside scalable, secure back-end services. • Develop and optimize RESTful and GraphQL APIs to support both web and mobile applications. • Own the design and implementation of data models using SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, Snowflake, MongoDB, Teradata). • Provide technical leadership to other engineers, conducting code reviews, mentoring, and technical deep-dives. • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, DevOps, and business stakeholders to deliver end-to-end, business-aligned solutions. • Champion CI/CD automation, contributing to pipelines using Jenkins, Terraform, and GitHub Actions. • Drive infrastructure-as-code practices, supporting deployment automation and cloud scalability (Azure preferred). • Monitor production systems, ensuring availability, performance, and incident response readiness. • Apply BDD/TDD methodologies to ensure reliability, maintainability, and test coverage. • Advocate for simplicity, scalability, and code quality, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term maintainability. • Engage directly with business stakeholders to clarify requirements, identify opportunities, and deliver impactful technology solutions with minimal overhead.
Requirements • 7+ years of experience in full stack development, including end-to-end solution delivery. • 2+ years of experience in a technical leadership role, mentoring and driving architectural decisions. • Proficiency in JavaScript, Python, and PySpark, and expertise with modern front-end frameworks such as Angular or React. • Experience in financial services, fintech, or other regulated industries. • Experience developing and optimizing RESTful and GraphQL APIs. • Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, Databricks, Snowflake, and Kafka. • Strong SQL skills and experience with SQL Server or similar relational databases. • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Jenkins. • Expertise in GitHub-based workflows and collaborative development practices. • Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including architecture, development, testing, deployment, and operations. • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and system design skills. • Strong communication and leadership abilities, ability to influence and align cross-functional teams. • An entrepreneurial mindset, with a focus on simplification, automation, and innovation. • Exposure to AI/ML technologies and data-driven application development. • Background in Computer Science or a related technical field.
