$81-90 Hourly

Join a world-renowned leader known for groundbreaking innovation and a commitment to excellence. This organization is at the forefront of shaping how people interact with technology, creating intuitive and powerful experiences that touch millions globally. Be part of a team that drives efficiency and innovation, making a tangible impact on critical business operations.

As a Full Stack Developer for Data Apps, you will design and develop end-to-end data applications spanning interactive frontends, middleware services, and data-serving APIs. This role requires a 70/30 split between hands-on engineering delivery and technical solutions architecture (setting direction, enforcing best practices, and defining design patterns).

You will operate with high autonomy within a fast-paced, two-week sprint cycle-independently researching, executing, and delivering features while collaborating across product and analytics teams. Your applications will make complex data products accessible, automating manual processes to increase the overall efficiency of our central marketing function.

Technical Focus Areas

• Frontend & Middleware (~70%): Leading development on the client-facing and middle layers using React and Node.js to bridge a critical team skill gap.
• API & Backend (~30%): Developing robust API layers utilizing Python and FastAPI (or similar frameworks like Flask/Django).
• Data & Cloud: Designing relational database schemas (primarily PostgreSQL) and deploying applications on AWS cloud services using infrastructure as code.

Key Qualifications

• Extensive Hands-On Experience: You are deeply "in the weeds" of software delivery, knowing every layer of the web stack in and out. (Note: Pure solutions or technical architects will not be considered).
• Core Technical Stack:

  • Strong frontend engineering experience building production-grade web applications with React.

  • Experience developing middleware and backend services with Node.js.
  • Proficiency with Python and frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
  • Strong working knowledge of PostgreSQL or other relational databases. (We do not utilize NoSQL or graph databases).
• Cloud Infrastructure: Familiarity with deploying applications on AWS (S3, ECS, ECR, API Gateway, ALB) and managing infrastructure via AWS CDK.
• High Autonomy & Drive: Proven ability to act as a self-starter. You excel at independent research, leveraging available tools, and driving features to completion without needing heavy hand-holding or explicit day-to-day directions.
• Preferred (Nice-to-Have): Experience building applications for marketing functions or working within digital ad agencies / tech marketing groups (e.g., Meta, Amazon) is highly preferred and will give you an edge.

Onboarding & Workflow

• Sprint Structure: We operate on two-week sprints. You will commit to specific backlogs, independently execute, and deliver during the sprint exit.
• Phase-Wise Onboarding: The first two weeks focus on system familiarity through knowledge-sharing sessions, self-exploration, and executing a small, narrowly scoped initial backlog (e.g., adding a dialog box to critical actions) to learn our design patterns and system architecture.

Logistical & Interview Requirements

• Working Hours (Non-Standard PST): To ensure critical meeting overlap and inclusive sprint planning with our UK-based team, the required working hours are 6:30 AM - 3:30 PM PST or 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM PST.
• Interview Process: The process consists of an initial experience alignment call, followed by a technical round (coding and high-level architecture discussion). The final round requires a 90-minute in-person, in-office interview. Candidates must be locally available for this final step.
