Software Engineer Level III (Full-Stack)

Role: Software Engineer Level III (Full-Stack) WHAT YOU'LL DO Technical Leadership & Architecture Lead end-to-end system design for complex, high-scale backend platforms — owning the full lifecycle from requirements through implementation and iteration Define architectural principles and engineering best practices that raise the quality bar across the team Make high-impact design decisions involving deliberate trade-offs between scalability, performance, cost, and long-term maintainability Design data models that are well-structured, efficient, and built to evolve alongside the product Full Stack Delivery Design, develop, and maintain full stack features across React/Angular frontends and Node.js backend microservices Build and evolve RESTful and event-driven APIs — both internal services and external-facing APIs consumed by our partners — ensuring they are well-tested, documented, and production-ready Work with MongoDB to design schemas, write efficient queries, and manage data at scale Develop and maintain event-driven workflows using AWS SNS and SQS to manage asynchronous system flows reliably Instrument services with monitoring and observability tooling — setting up metrics, alerts, dashboards, and distributed tracing to ensure system health Investigate and resolve complex bugs and production incidents end-to-end — from the UI down to the service layer Strategy & Growth Partner with product, design, and growth teams on growth initiatives — customer acquisition, activation, and conversion funnel improvements — translating experiment ideas into shippable, measurable features Contribute to experimentation and A/B testing efforts, using data and metrics to validate impact and inform the next iteration Align technical decisions with business strategy — weighing near-term growth opportunities against long-term platform health, and communicating those trade-offs clearly to stakeholders Conduct technical research and propose solutions to new and ambiguous engineering challenges Plan and manage your own work independently, breaking down large features into well-scoped tasks and driving them to delivery Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and contribute to engineering best practices Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers across the stack OUR TECH STACK Frontend: React (Jest), Angular 2+ (Jasmine & Karma), Next.js, Razzle, TypeScript Backend: Node.js microservices (Koa, NestJS) Database: MongoDB Messaging: AWS SNS & SQS (event-driven async flows) Cloud: AWS E2E Testing: Playwright Monitoring: AWS CloudWatch, Sentry AI Tooling: Claude Code (AI-assisted, agentic development) CI/CD: CircleCI WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 5+ years of professional full stack development experience, with a track record of leading system design on complex, high-scale platforms Proven ability to define architectural principles and drive engineering best practices across a team Experience making high-impact design decisions with clear reasoning around trade-offs — scalability vs. cost, performance vs. maintainability, speed vs. reliability Strong data modeling skills — designing schemas and structures that are clean, efficient, and built to scale Strong proficiency in Node.js — building and maintaining production microservices Solid experience with MongoDB — schema design, indexing, aggregation pipelines, and query optimization Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures, specifically AWS SNS and SQS or equivalent pub/sub and message queue systems Proficiency in React and/or Angular 2+ for building and maintaining modern frontend applications Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Sentry, or similar) — instrumenting services, creating dashboards, configuring alerts, and using distributed tracing to diagnose issues Experience writing tests across the stack — unit, integration, and E2E (Jest, Jasmine/Karma, Playwright or similar) General understanding of AWS services beyond messaging — S3, IAM, Lambda, EC2, or similar A business-minded approach to engineering — comfort connecting technical work to company goals, growth metrics, and customer outcomes Excellent research and investigation skills — able to navigate unfamiliar codebases and ambiguous technical challenges systematically Strong problem-resolution mindset — thorough, communicative, and effective under pressure Ability to plan and own complex features independently from design through to production Strong communication skills and comfort working in a remote, async-friendly environment BONUS POINTS Experience in InsurTech, FinTech, or other regulated industries Experience supporting growth engineering — experimentation platforms, A/B testing frameworks, funnel analytics, or conversion optimization Experience with agentic coding and AI-assisted development workflows — using tools like Claude Code to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar) Experience with CI/CD pipeline configuration — particularly CircleCI Direct involvement in building a new application from the ground up or leading a large-scale migration (e.g., a framework or database migration) Familiarity with homegrown or complex internal component libraries on the frontend Contributions to open source projects
