Full Stack Application Developer - Databricks

Our client is a well-established, technology- and data-driven organization. Additional company details will be shared with qualified candidates as the process progresses.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Full Stack Application Developer to design and build modern, production-ready applications and user experiences. This role requires strong hands-on experience developing Single Page Applications (SPAs), building backend services and APIs, and working with relational databases. The ideal candidate combines strong application engineering fundamentals with a bias toward action, excellent communication skills, and technical leadership. Experience with Databricks Apps and the broader Databricks platform is highly desirable but not required.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) using frameworks such as React, Angular, or similar technologies.
• Build intuitive, responsive, and maintainable front-end experiences using modern JavaScript/TypeScript development practices.
• Develop scalable backend services and REST APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, or similar technologies.
• Design and integrate applications with relational databases, with a strong emphasis on PostgreSQL.
• Build end-to-end application functionality spanning front-end, backend, APIs, authentication, and data layers.
• Collaborate with data engineers, platform engineers, architects, product stakeholders, and customers to translate business requirements into working applications.
• Develop applications and user experiences that integrate with data and analytics platforms.
• Drive technical decisions and proactively identify and resolve engineering challenges.
• Produce clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to application development standards and best practices.
• Communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, risks, and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Take ownership of deliverables and drive projects from requirements through production deployment.

Requirements

• Strong professional experience in full-stack application development, including demonstrated experience designing and building production Single Page Applications (SPAs).
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript development experience.
• Hands-on experience with React, Angular, or equivalent front-end frameworks.
• Backend development experience with FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, or equivalent frameworks.
• Strong relational database experience (design, queries, application integration, performance considerations), including hands-on PostgreSQL experience.
• Experience integrating front-end applications with backend APIs and data services.
• Understanding of modern application architecture, authentication, security, testing, and deployment practices.
• Ability to independently take a feature or application from concept through implementation and delivery.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and driving work forward with a bias toward action.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing and deploying Databricks Apps.
• General hands-on experience with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
• Experience integrating custom applications with Databricks data, APIs, SQL warehouses, or other platform capabilities.
• Familiarity with Databricks technologies such as Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architectures.
• Experience building data-intensive or analytics-focused web applications.
• Cloud application development experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with CI/CD, containers, and modern application deployment practices.

What We're Looking For

• Bias Toward Action: Comfortable operating with ambiguity, making informed decisions, and moving work forward without waiting for perfect information.
• Communication: Communicates proactively and clearly, raises risks early, and collaborates effectively with engineers, business stakeholders, and customers.
• Leadership & Ownership: Takes responsibility for outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks; leads technical discussions, influences architecture and engineering decisions, and helps other team members succeed.
• Problem Solving: Enjoys breaking down complex business and technical problems and turning them into pragmatic, scalable solutions.
• Collaboration: Works effectively across application development, data engineering, platform, architecture, and business teams in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
