Senior Full Stack Engineer – AI-Assisted Development

As a valued member of an agile engineering team, you will design, build, and deliver scalable, secure, customer-focused software solutions that translate complex business needs into high-performing technology outcomes. Collaborate with product managers, business stakeholders, security, risk, compliance, platform teams, and other technical experts.

Responsibilities

• Translate ambiguous business challenges into clean, scalable, and secure software architectures while anticipating technical risks, edge cases, and long-term maintainability.
• Own full-stack feature delivery across services, data, and user interfaces, making pragmatic technology decisions that balance speed, quality, and business value.
• Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly throughout the software development lifecycle to improve engineering productivity while maintaining accountability for code quality, correctness, and security.
• Build production-ready systems with strong testing, CI/CD practices, observability, alerting, runbooks, and recovery paths to support reliability and operational readiness.
• Partner closely with product, business, security, compliance, risk, and platform stakeholders to communicate technical trade-offs clearly and deliver meaningful business outcomes.

Work model: Remote. This is a remote position based in Juno Beach, FL. A few roles may require in-person interviews at Cognizant offices or client locations, depending on project or client needs.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing, developing, supporting, and deploying modern enterprise-grade software systems.
• Hands-on full-stack engineering experience across services, data, APIs, and user interfaces.
• Experience with technologies such as Python, Vue.js, AWS or Google Cloud Platform, Terraform, APIs, and cloud-native architecture patterns.

• Ability to work directly with business stakeholders, build trust, communicate technical concepts clearly, and operate with autonomy in fast-paced environments.

*This role cannot offer visa transfer or sponsorship now or in the future.

Skills That Stand Out

• Experience using agentic AI tools to improve development workflows, accelerate prototyping, and strengthen engineering feedback loops.
• Experience designing quality gates, specification-driven development workflows, automated checks, and engineering standards that improve team output.
• Ability to rapidly prototype solutions with stakeholders to validate ideas and accelerate feedback.
• Strong product intuition and business acumen, with the ability to connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes.
• Experience collaborating across security, risk, compliance, platform, product, and business teams to deliver secure and scalable solutions.
