Job Description:

Why this role

You will play a key role in building modern, secure, and scalable enterprise applications that power real business outcomes. This role is ideal if you enjoy owning work end-to-end, shaping application foundations, and seeing your ideas move quickly from concept to production.

You will work across the full stack-backend services, APIs, frontend experiences, and local development environments-while partnering closely with product, design, data, DevOps, and business stakeholders. Your work will set the technical direction and patterns that other engineers build on.

What you'll do

Full-stack application development
  • Design, build, and maintain enterprise applications using Python on the backend and React + TypeScript on the frontend
  • Translate business and product needs into scalable, maintainable application architectures
  • Establish strong foundations for application structure, security, testing, and developer experience
  • Build production-ready application skeletons and core workflows that teams can extend over time
  • Define and document clear API contracts, data flows, and integration patterns

Backend & API engineering
  • Build and optimize backend services using FastAPI and modern Python frameworks
  • Design RESTful APIs with strong validation, versioning, and documentation
  • Implement authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, RBAC, and enterprise identity providers
  • Develop reliable, high-performance services with clear error handling and observability
  • Design database schemas and data access layers (e.g., PostgreSQL)

Frontend development
  • Build accessible, responsive React applications using TypeScript
  • Create reusable component architectures and scalable UI patterns
  • Implement secure authentication flows and protected routes
  • Develop intuitive interfaces for dashboards, forms, admin tools, and data-driven experiences
  • Optimize performance through modern frontend best practices

Containerization & delivery foundations
  • Containerize services using Docker with secure, maintainable builds
  • Set up Docker Compose local environments for multi-service applications
  • Partner with DevOps to support CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployments
  • Help ensure applications are ready for cloud-native environments

Collaboration & technical leadership
  • Partner with engineers, designers, product managers, and business teams
  • Lead early technical implementation and influence architectural decisions
  • Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and contribute to engineering standards
  • Communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences


What you bring

Required experience
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience across frontend and backend
  • Strong hands-on experience building production applications with Python
  • Experience developing APIs with FastAPI or similar frameworks
  • Solid experience building React applications with TypeScript
  • Experience designing full-stack applications from initial architecture to production
  • Hands-on experience with Docker and local development environments
  • Experience working with authentication, authorization, and secure application patterns
  • Comfort collaborating with distributed teams and multiple disciplines

Required technical skills
  • Python (modern backend development and async programming)
  • FastAPI (dependency injection, middleware, API design)
  • React and TypeScript (hooks, component architecture, state management)
  • REST API design and integration
  • Authentication and authorization (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, RBAC)
  • SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)
  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • Git-based workflows and code reviews
  • Testing across frontend and backend
