Full Stack Software Engineering

Software Engineer | Fullstack

LoVasco helps organizations deliver exceptional benefits and retirement programs to the people they employ, while also stewarding the financial well-being of individuals in and out of the workplace. We engage clients who genuinely prioritize their employees, and we give them the tools, education, and programs that help their people achieve financial security for themselves and their families. What We're Building, and Why
A business like ours can string together a dozen flexible, off-the-shelf tools to deliver its services—and for a long time, that's exactly what we did. A stack of subscriptions, a web of workarounds, software that "does everything" but nothing quite the way we want it.
We believe in purpose-built software. Opinionated design. At the end of the day, our goal is to deliver the best possible experience to our clients—and we believe that owning the software we use to deliver our services, and that our clients and their participants use to interact with us, is the best way to do it.
What we're building is platform that serves as an “operating system” for our consulting business. For our teams, it's where we manage and make sense of our data, sharpen the insights we deliver, and automate the "work around work" so our people can focus on how best to serve our clients. For our clients, it's a centralized place to engage with those insights, own their data, and measure the impact of their programs. For participants, it's an education experience and a set of tools that feel tailored to them, are genuinely useful, and help them get the most out of their benefits.

We build with React and Next.js on the frontend, NestJS for our API, Prisma as our ORM, and PostgreSQL for our database, all hosted on AWS. We manage nearly all of our infrastructure with Terraform, and DevOps and CI/CD are first-class parts of how we work.
A strong foundation in modern web frameworks and databases, and the discipline to ship and operate software well, matters far more than any single tool—we can teach the specifics. We're looking for fullstack engineers. You'll work across the entire stack, designing, building, and maintaining features end-to-end—from the database to the interface—and help own the infrastructure and deployment pipelines that keep our platform reliable.
Because projects here begin with open questions rather than finished specifications, you'll help shape what we build: translating user feedback into the right work, scoping projects, writing RFCs, documenting decisions, and taking part in our planning cycles.
Migrating a core consulting team onto our platform: modeling their data, rebuilding the workflows they rely on off their patchwork of legacy SaaS tools.
Building the CRM-style interfaces our teams live in every day: the data entry, organization, and record-keeping tools that keep client information accurate and usable.
Turning dense benefits and retirement data into clear, comparative reporting: client- and participant-facing views that make complex programs easy to understand and act on.
Terraform-managed AWS, deployment pipelines, database strategy, and the security practices that keep sensitive client data safe.

A fullstack engineer with 1-3 years of experience. You may specialize, but if backend work doesn’t resonate with you or you would rather not touch design on the frontend, this is not the right fit. You believe it is not enough for software to merely work—it should look, feel, and function beautifully.
It takes patience, intuition, humility, and the confidence to be comfortable “not knowing” and the skills to "figure it out”.
