Software Engineer Level II – Fullstack

Role Overview

• 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
• Design, develop, and maintain full stack features across React/Angular frontends and Node.js backend microservices
• Build and evolve RESTful and event-driven APIs, 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
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and contribute to engineering best practices
• Investigate and resolve complex bugs and production incidents end-to-end — from the UI down to the service layer
• 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
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers across the stack.

Requirements

• 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., Datadog, New Relic, CloudWatch) — 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
• 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
• Experience in InsurTech, FinTech, or other regulated industries
• 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.
