What You'll Do
- Design and development of scalable, service-based architectures (front-end and back-end), while remaining hands-on in coding and delivery
- Architect and implement system integrations across internal services and third-party platforms (REST, GraphQL, event streams, webhooks, ETL pipelines)
- Collaborate with Product to translate business requirements into technical solutions, defining scope, complexity, and dependencies
- Drive development across teams for services built in Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python
- Design and maintain API contracts, data models, and integration patterns to ensure consistency and reliability across systems
- Build and optimize secure, high-performance, and highly available systems
- Contribute to AI-enabled features and workflows, including integration of ML models, LLM APIs, or intelligent automation pipelines
- Partner with architects to define system design, integration strategies, and reusable frameworks
- Produce clear technical documentation (architecture diagrams, data flows, API specs, integration patterns)
- Establish and enforce best practices in code quality, testing, and deployment
- Lead code reviews, approve merges, and mentor engineers across teams
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and drive resolution across distributed systems
- Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of feature development—from design through deployment and monitoring
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade software systems across front-end and back-end
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
- Strong expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript
- Proven experience with Node.js and GraphQL (required)
- Deep experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and distributed services
- Strong proficiency with tools and technologies such as Python, Docker, Git, SQL, and cloud-native architectures
- Hands-on experience with GCP or AWS services (e.g., S3, CloudFront, EC2, RDS, Lambda, Batch)
- Experience designing and implementing system integrations (microservices, third-party APIs, event-driven architectures, messaging systems like Kafka/SQS)
- Ability to lead and deliver large, complex technical initiatives
- Strong understanding of software design patterns, system architecture, and data flow design
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly
- Experience working in Agile/Kanban environments and a strong understanding of the SDLC
- Adaptability and a proactive mindset in fast-paced, evolving environments
Nice to Have
- Experience working on or building tax, fintech, or compliance-related products (e.g., tax calculation engines, filing systems, regulatory platforms)
- Exposure to AI/ML engineering, including integrating LLM APIs, building data pipelines for ML workflows, or deploying AI-driven features
- Experience with data platforms, data pipelines, or analytics systems
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures and real-time data processing
- Experience designing multi-tenant or enterprise-grade SaaS platforms
- Background in integration-heavy environments (e.g., ERP, financial systems, external data providers)
