Director, Full-Stack Engineer

About the role

We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Director, Full Stack Engineer to join our Data and Analytics Solutions team. This role is located in Boston, MA; however, candidates may also be considered for Pittsburgh, PA.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Java and Python microservices as part of an enterprise-scale platform, working closely with architects and engineering leads to ensure services, APIs, and data stores integrate cohesively and scale cost-effectively across global regions.
• Contribute to the platform’s future architecture by understanding how cross-service dependencies, data flows, and infrastructure components fit together — partnering with architects to evaluate trade-offs around performance, cost, resilience, and global expansion.
• Provision and manage Azure Cloud infrastructure through Terraform and Infrastructure as Code; collaborate on region-aware provisioning strategies that balance reliability with cost efficiency as the platform extends into new markets.
• Build, deploy, and operate containerized workloads on Kubernetes, working with platform teams to leverage KEDA for autoscaling, Chainguard for supply-chain security, Artifactory for artifact management, and service mesh (Consul or Istio) for secure service-to-service communication.
• Create, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, Jenkins - Groovy (pipeline-as-code), and Harness for continuous delivery — ensuring deployment patterns support multi-region releases with fast, safe, and repeatable promotion.
• Design and maintain platform-wide monitoring, alerting, and metrics-driven automation using New Relic; participate in Root Cause Analysis and contribute architectural improvements to prevent recurrence and ensure reliability at scale.
• Build data integrations, replication strategies, and query optimization approaches that support global data residency requirements and cost-effective pipeline operations.
• Build Slack integrations (webhooks, bots, workflow automations) and leverage AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Devin/Windsurf, Cursor) to streamline engineering workflows; apply security and quality practices through SonarQube, automated testing, and shift-left security.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, analysts, architects, and senior leadership to translate business requirements into technical solutions that align with the platform’s global strategy; mentor and develop junior engineers and contribute to organizational engineering goals.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience; advanced degree preferred.
• 14+ years of software development experience with a strong understanding of how enterprise-scale microservice systems fit together; experience in the securities or financial services industry is preferred.
• Deep expertise in Java (Spring Boot / Spring MVC) and Python with demonstrated ability to design and build production microservices that integrate into a larger platform; strong scripting skills in Bash and Groovy.
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes in production — deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting containerized workloads; familiarity with how KEDA, Helm, service mesh (Consul or Istio), and related components work together within the broader platform.
• Proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and management in Azure Cloud; experience with cost optimization and multi-region considerations; Linux systems administration (Debian/Ubuntu) including performance tuning and security.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines as code (GitHub, Jenkins - Groovy-based pipelines); experience with Harness for continuous delivery preferred.
• Experience with observability and APM platforms such as New Relic — building dashboards, alerts, and SLOs; proficiency with SonarQube for static analysis and code quality enforcement.
• Proficient in relational databases (PostgreSQL) — schema design, query optimization, stored procedures; familiarity with Snowflake for analytics, data platform integrations, and global data residency considerations.
• Experience with supply-chain security tooling (Chainguard, Artifactory, image signing/SBOMs), Slack integrations, and AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Devin/Windsurf, Cursor).
• Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills with the ability to mentor junior engineers, collaborate effectively with architects and cross-functional teams, and contribute to platform strategy in support of global expansion.
