Team Structure: Lean high-velocity product squad (1 Lead Product Manager, 2x Software Engineers, 1 Designer)

About the Role

We are looking for a versatile, high-agency Senior Full Stack Engineer who is equally comfortable building robust backend systems and shipping polished frontend work. In this role, you aren’t just closing tickets; you are a key technical driver for a lean, high-performing squad building regulatory application processing systems.

What You Will Do

End-to-End Delivery: Own features from backend data models through to polished user-facing frontend interfaces, collaborating closely with our Lead PM and Designer.

Architecture & Integration: Build and maintain secure backend APIs, cloud infrastructure, and orchestrate complex data pipelines supporting ~15 critical system integrations.

Cloud & DevOps: Drive infrastructure setup on GCC+, managing your features through the entire lifecycle from development, CI/CD deployment, to monitoring and maintenance.

Data Migration: Play a core role in architectural discussions and execution around secure data migration strategies.

Go-To-Market (GTM) Support: Ensure smooth product rollouts by driving GTM technical readiness, including thorough technical documentation and training for internal/external stakeholders.

Leadership & Mentorship: Act as the 2IC to the Tech Lead. Provide mentorship to the other software engineer on the squad, conduct rigorous code reviews, and step in to run team rituals and maintain momentum when the Lead is away.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: >7 years of software engineering experience with meaningful, proven exposure to both frontend and backend development.

Technical Breadth:

Solid backend skills (REST APIs, server-side logic, database design, and complex integration patterns).

Competent frontend skills (component-based UI development like React, responsive design, and basic state management).

Infrastructure & Environment: DevOps-literate with practical experience deploying and managing secure workloads, ideally with exposure to GCC+ or similar secure compliance-heavy cloud architectures.

Leadership Aptitude: Prior experience stepping into a lead or senior role informally (e.g., mentoring juniors, running agile ceremonies, or owning major architectural streams).

Communication: Exceptional communication skills. You can explain complex integration or infrastructure challenges to both technical teammates and non-technical stakeholders.

Mindset: Low-ego, high-agency, and collaborative. You care about the squad winning together.

Nice to Have

Pragmatic AI Usage: Experience using AI tools to accelerate development safely. We value efficiency but maintain absolute accountability; "vibe-coding" without manual verification is not acceptable.

Domain Knowledge: Prior experience working in regulatory, government, compliance-heavy, or heavily integrated enterprise environments.

Product Thinking: You understand the why behind what is being built, keeping processing velocity and UX targets in mind.

Pay: $3,053.40 - $10,558.79 per month

Work Location: In person
