Full Stack Software Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Full Stack Software Engineer (early-career)

Description

Build and ship features across internal reporting and planning applications used by program managers and engineering teams. Harden applications for production by improving authentication, error handling, input validation, and safe data operations—especially when writing back to Jira. Drive CI/CD deployments on AWS, integrate with Jira APIs, investigate bugs with logs/monitoring, and support prototypes made with AI-assisted development tools.

Responsibilities

• Develop frontend and backend features for internal applications in collaboration with program managers
• Improve production readiness: authentication, error handling, input validation, and safe write operations to Jira
• Add and expand automated test coverage for new and existing code
• Own CI/CD pipelines and deployments; keep applications running on AWS
• Diagnose and fix user-reported issues by tracing through logs and monitoring
• Integrate with Jira APIs and improve resilience to rate limits, timeouts, and partial failures
• Document systems so others can operate and extend them
• Partner with non-engineer teammates using AI-assisted development to turn prototypes into supported products

Requirements

• 1-2 years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent: internships, meaningful open-source contributions, or a portfolio of projects you can explain in detail)
• Experience with RBAC design, software architecture design, relational data modeling, and admin UI/tooling
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools and judgment on where they help vs. where extra care is needed
• Working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and a component framework (React preferred) for building functional UIs
• Working knowledge of Python or Node.js/TypeScript on the backend
• Exposure to AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM)
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative development including code review
• Strong fundamentals and the ability to reason through unfamiliar problems
• Clear communicator who can work directly with non-engineers and ask good questions
• Comfort seeking help early and being transparent when stuck
• Passion for efficient systems and simplifying complex processes for users

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical/dental/vision insurance
• HSA, FSA
• 401(k)
• Life and disability insurance (and ADD insurance) for eligible employees
• Paid time off for salaried personnel
• Paid sick leave for hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project
