Senior Full Stack Engineer

Who you are

• The ideal candidate combines strong frontend and backend expertise with sound architectural judgment, product thinking, and the ability to raise the technical performance of the broader team
• 7+ years of professional software development experience, including substantial experience building production SaaS applications
• Strong full-stack development experience with modern JavaScript and TypeScript
• Advanced experience with a modern frontend framework, preferably React
• Strong knowledge of component architecture, state management, frontend performance, responsive design, and browser behavior
• Experience building complex, workflow-oriented web applications rather than primarily content-oriented websites
• Strong backend development experience using Node.js, Python, Java, C#, or a comparable server-side technology
• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs, event-driven services, background jobs, and asynchronous workflows
• Strong understanding of relational and non-relational data modeling
• Experience with PostgreSQL or another modern relational database
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs, authentication providers, data platforms, or enterprise systems
• Strong understanding of cloud-native application development, preferably within AWS
• Experience with containers, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure environments, and modern deployment practices
• Strong understanding of automated testing strategies at the unit, integration, API, component, and end-to-end levels
• Experience diagnosing distributed application issues using logs, metrics, traces, database analysis, and browser tooling
• Working knowledge of application security, authorization, identity, secrets management, data protection, and secure coding practices
• Experience working with Git-based development workflows, pull requests, code reviews, branching strategies, and automated quality checks
• Strong understanding of software design principles, modular architecture, scalability, technical debt management, and maintainability
• Experience with video, audio, media processing, creative tooling, animation, rendering, or digital asset management
• Experience with browser-based motion graphics using React, JavaScript, CSS animations, Canvas, WebGL, or related technologies
• Experience with AI platforms, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt orchestration, or AI-generated media
• Experience building configurable enterprise platforms with permissions, approval workflows, auditability, and governance controls
• Experience with message queues, event buses, serverless services, or distributed job-processing systems
• Experience with infrastructure as code and production observability platforms
• Experience in a multi-tenant SaaS environment
• Experience improving or modernizing an established software platform while continuing to deliver new product capabilities
• A successful Senior Full-Stack Engineer should be able to:
• Own a complex capability with limited technical supervision
• Make sound technical tradeoffs and clearly explain the reasoning behind them
• Identify missing requirements, edge cases, dependencies, and operational concerns
• Produce implementation plans that other engineers can execute
• Deliver maintainable solutions rather than narrowly solving the immediate ticket
• Debug issues that span multiple services or application layers
• Improve the quality and productivity of engineers around them
• Communicate risks early and propose practical alternatives
• Balance speed, quality, scalability, and technical debt
• Demonstrate accountability for the production behavior of the software they build

What the job involves

• We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who can independently design, build, test, and operate complex capabilities across our web application, backend services, data integrations, and video creation platform
• This is a hands-on individual-contributor role for an engineer who can take ownership of significant product capabilities from technical discovery through production deployment
• This person should be able to work from product requirements and design concepts, identify technical gaps and edge cases, propose an implementation approach, and deliver production-quality software with limited oversight
• Design and implement end-to-end product capabilities spanning frontend applications, backend services, APIs, databases, and third-party integrations
• Translate product requirements, UX designs, and acceptance criteria into scalable technical solutions
• Lead the technical design of moderately complex and complex initiatives
• Break large capabilities into executable technical components and development increments
• Develop responsive, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces using modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks
• Design and implement backend services, application APIs, business logic, data models, and asynchronous workflows
• Build and maintain integrations with enterprise platforms, data sources, AI services, media providers, and other third-party systems
• Contribute to video creation, rendering, personalization, animation, asset management, analytics, and distribution capabilities
• Identify performance, scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability concerns before they become production issues
• Write automated unit, integration, component, and end-to-end tests
• Participate in code reviews and establish strong patterns for code quality and engineering consistency
• Diagnose and resolve complex production issues across application and infrastructure layers
• Improve observability through structured logging, monitoring, metrics, tracing, and actionable alerts
• Partner closely with Product, UX, QA, DevOps, and other engineers throughout the delivery lifecycle
• Mentor mid-level engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, pairing, and constructive feedback
• Contribute to architectural standards, engineering practices, shared components, and reusable platform capabilities
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to accelerate development, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and code modernization
• Participate in release readiness, production support, incident response, and root-cause analysis
