They are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to modernize their flagship ERP platform, contributing to both backend services and the web client while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities:

• Build and ship features end-to-end from database schema and backend services through to the user-facing web client
• Design new domain modules using our established architectural patterns and conventions
• Own multi-tenant correctness by writing migrations that comply with Row-Level Security, respecting the RLS transaction context in queries, and following the persist/flush discipline
• Integrate with shared platform services background jobs, real-time updates, file storage, email, document intelligence, and authentication and authorization
• Leverage AI tools effectively use Claude Code (and similar) to accelerate routine work, while exercising judgment on what to accept, adapt, or reject
• Raise the bar on quality through code review, type-safety, performance discipline (no N+1 queries, lazy loading, parallel APIs), and adherence to our trunk-based development workflow
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, tech leads, QA, UX, and domain experts to translate functional requirements into well-designed software
• Contribute to platform evolution propose improvements to shared libraries (DTOs, validation rules, i18n, shared constants), the metadata system, and developer tooling

Requirements:

• Strong TypeScript across both frontend and backend, with comfort moving fluidly between the two
• Solid React experience (hooks, component composition, performance, state management) in a non-trivial application
• Server-side experience with Node.js and a structured framework NestJS preferred; Express, Fastify, or comparable accepted
• Relational database fluency PostgreSQL preferred, including schema design, indexing, and writing migrations. Familiarity with an ORM (MikroORM, TypeORM, Prisma, Hibernate, etc.)

• Modern delivery practices Git, pull requests, CI/CD, code review, testing, and trunk-based or short-lived-branch workflows
• Demonstrated productivity with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar). You can describe concrete examples of how you use them, where they help, and where you override them
• Strong communication written, verbal, and in code reviews. You can explain trade-offs, push back constructively, and document decisions
• ERP or business-application domain knowledge general ledger, AR/AP, inventory, purchasing, sales orders, bank reconciliation, or process-manufacturing concepts. This is a meaningful plus; we can teach the domain, but prior exposure shortens ramp-up

• AWS hands-on experience with ECS, RDS, S3, CDK, or Bedrock
• Document intelligence, RAG, or LLM integration in a production system
