About the role

We're looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys solving problems, learning new technologies, and building practical solutions that deliver business value. This role will support a portfolio of 20-30 internal applications ranging from small utility tools to business-critical systems. Many upcoming projects are still being defined, so success in this role requires someone who can navigate ambiguity, take initiative, and help shape solutions. If you're curious, adaptable, and interested in long-term growth, we'd love to talk with you.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and enhance internal web applications and business tools
  • Develop modern user interfaces and backend services that support business operations
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements and determine next steps for evolving projects
  • Create intuitive, user-friendly experiences, often taking ownership of UI and design decisions
  • Integrate applications with APIs, databases, and cloud services
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, deployment, and ongoing support
  • Contribute to the modernization of development practices, including containerization and cloud-based solutions

  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • REST APIs and web service integration
  • Cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS experience also highly valued)

Backend Experience

Experience with one or more of:

  • FastAPI
  • Django / Django REST Framework
  • Flask
  • Express.js
  • NestJS

Database & Data Experience

  • Strong SQL skills and understanding of data modeling
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Azure SQL, Snowflake, or similar platforms
  • Ability to optimize queries and understand indexes, migrations, and data integrity principles
  • Experience with modern data platforms such as BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, or equivalent is a plus

Cloud & DevOps

  • Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform
  • Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or similar tools
  • Docker, Podman, containerd, or related container technologies

Monitoring & Observability

Experience with tools such as:

  • Application Insights
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Datadog
  • New Relic

What Will Make You Stand Out

While technical experience is important, we're primarily looking for someone with:

  • A strong product mindset
  • Learning agility and curiosity
  • Good design instincts and attention to user experience

  • The ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt to changing priorities
  • A desire to create value rather than simply complete assigned tasks
