About the Role

As a Full Stack Software Engineer on our Technology Team, you will contribute to the design, development, and optimization of business-critical foundational services and self-service interfaces that power our partner-facing product suite. You will strike a balance between frontend and backend work, developing the platform's core components—including authentication, authorization, notifications, and audit logging—while building the intuitive user interfaces that expose these features to our partners.

To drive success in this role, you will have solid experience across the stack, specifically with modern Javascript/Typescript frameworks (Node.js/NestJS on the backend, React/Next.js on the frontend), and experience building scalable, secure, and distributed systems. You will implement high-quality, maintainable solutions while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver robust self-service platform capabilities. Regular collaboration with Product Managers, Infrastructure teams, and other engineering domains will be key in ensuring our foundational services continue to deliver exceptional performance, usability, and reliability to support our global business operations.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Delivery: Develop and deliver full-stack features for core platform components and self-service functionalities, ensuring they meet engineering requirements, UX standards, and security compliance.

• Foundational Features: Contribute to the technical strategy by building robust, scalable platform-level services (e.g., authentication, authorization, notifications, audit logs) and integrating them seamlessly into the frontend partner portal.

• Self-Service Enablement: Build intuitive frontend interfaces and workflows that empower partners and internal teams, reducing operational overhead and increasing platform autonomy.

• Observability: Implement observability solutions (monitoring, logging, tracing) across the stack to ensure high availability and proactive issue resolution for core services.

• Technical Excellence: Apply engineering best practices, quality standards, and architectural principles within the team, balancing efficient backend data handling with responsive frontend performance.

• Culture: Actively contribute to a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving by sharing knowledge across the stack.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Product Managers, security teams, and engineering leaders to translate platform vision into full-stack solutions that enable the entire engineering organization to integrate easily into the partner portal.

Skills & Experience:

What you will bring:

• Solid experience in full-stack software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering quality software in a production environment.

• Hands-on expertise with Node.js for building scalable, high-performance backend services.

• Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (particularly React and Next.js) for building intuitive, self-service user interfaces.

• Experience building core foundational services such as authentication, authorization, notifications, and/or audit logging systems from the database layer to the UI layer.

• Strong proficiency with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, including data modeling and query writing.

• Experience with observability practices and platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry) to instrument, monitor, and debug distributed systems.

• A collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills, and experience working cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, and other teams.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field; a postgraduate degree and/or record of academic achievement is also desirable.

What you will have:

• Bachelor or Masters degree in Computer Science or Engineering with at least 3 years of professional software engineering experience building and maintaining web applications in production.

• Solid understanding of TypeScript/JavaScript across the entire stack. Experience with NextJS (frontend) and NodeJS / NestJS (backend).

• Good understanding of full-stack software design principles, API design (REST/GraphQL), UI state management, and database optimization (especially in PostgreSQL).

• Experience with modern software development practices including CI/CD pipelines, test automation (both UI and API), and code quality tools.

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), and managing workloads in Kubernetes.

• Experience with messaging systems, caching strategies, and resilient microservices that power dynamic frontends.
