Full Stack Software Engineer

Role Description

We are seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer who combines deep platform engineering expertise with a track record of translating novel technical work into protected intellectual property. In this role you will own the design and delivery of enterprise-grade software systems - from intuitive user interfaces through distributed backend services and cloud infrastructure - while actively participating in the invention pipeline.

• Architect and build full-stack systems spanning modern frontend frameworks (React / TypeScript), distributed backend services (Python, Go, Node.js), cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), and API layers (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).
• Own end-to-end technical design for platform capabilities including workflow engines, multi-tenant SaaS services, event-driven pipelines, and operator-facing applications.
• Identify patentable inventions arising from platform architecture - including novel data flow patterns, system interaction models, and process automation methods - and document them rigorously.
• Author invention disclosures, support prior art research, and collaborate with in-house and outside patent counsel through application drafting and prosecution.
• Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, system observability, security posture, CI/CD practices, and API design conventions across the engineering organization.
• Lead cross-functional technical reviews, align with product and data science teams on integration points, and translate business requirements into scalable system designs.
• Drive build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions for platform components; evaluate third-party technologies against long-term IP and architectural strategy.
• Deliver systems meeting enterprise SLA requirements: high availability, disaster recovery, role-based access control, audit logging, and regulatory compliance.
• Lead the architectural evolution from siloed applications to a decentralized, federated service model - designing unified API gateway and access layers that allow cross-system queries and interoperability without requiring monolithic data consolidation.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional full-stack software engineering with at least 3 years at a equivalent senior IC level.
• Proven experience architecting and shipping production-grade distributed platforms in cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• Strong proficiency across the stack: modern JavaScript/TypeScript (React or equivalent), Python or Go backends, relational and NoSQL databases, containerization (Kubernetes / Docker).
• Demonstrated experience with intellectual property: invention disclosures, prior art analysis, or direct involvement in patent application drafting.
• Ability to communicate novel technical concepts precisely in writing - a prerequisite for effective patent documentation.
• Strong system design skills: API design, microservices decomposition, event-driven architecture, data modeling, and performance optimization at scale.
• Experience owning technical roadmaps and influencing engineering direction without formal authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active patent portfolio or named inventor on issued or pending patents.
• Experience building platforms in data center, industrial IoT, infrastructure management, or other operations-heavy domains.
• Familiarity with AI/ML integration patterns: embedding model-powered features into product surfaces, working with inference APIs, or building human-in-the-loop workflows.
• Experience with xAPI / Learning Record Store (LRS) standards, workflow orchestration engines (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow), or BMS / SCADA integration.
• Background in open-source strategy, defensive publication, or IP portfolio management.
• Experience designing federated service architectures, API mesh patterns, or event-driven integration layers that decouple siloed applications and enable cross-domain interoperability at enterprise scale.
• Graduate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Benefits

• Base salary range can go up to $150,000/per year.
• Comprehensive benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Health Savings Account (HSA).
• Gym discount.
• Mental health support.
• Discounted Group Life & AD&D.
• Discounted Group Short & Long-term Disability.
• 401(k) retirement matching.
• PTO/paid holidays.
• Parental leave.
