Senior Full Stack Engineer

The Senior Full Stack Engineer is an experienced individual contributor who owns the design and implementation of features end-to-end across the full stack. This is a deep technical role built around producing high-quality well-designed software with a strong emphasis on sole ownership from outline design through to delivery.

The Senior Full Stack Engineer works closely with Technical Leads to ensure their designs and implementation align with department-wide engineering standards and practices but they own the day-to-day decisions on their own work.

Tech stack: Java and Angular based running on AWS with MySQL databases. Familiarity with similar modern technologies and languages (equivalent back-end frameworks front-end frameworks cloud platforms and relational databases) is valued alongside direct experience with this stack.

This is a role for someone who wants to go deep on the craft of software engineering. This role will have limited people or delivery management responsibility.

• Produce outline designs for features and technical work covering both front-end and back-end considerations and see them through to implementation.

• Take full ownership of technical work from design through to delivery including testing and deployment.

• Take on complex or ambiguous full-stack work making sound design trade-offs across the stack (UI API data infrastructure).

• Apply strong code generation practices: understanding where and how generated code (scaffolding boilerplate AI-assisted code generation from schemas/specs) fits appropriately into the codebase and ensuring generated code is reviewed and maintained to the same standard as hand-written code.

• Work confidently across the stack: Java-based back-end services Angular front-end applications AWS infrastructure and MySQL databases.

• Write high-quality well-tested well-documented code across all layers of the stack.

• Consider performance security and maintainability across the full path from database to UI.

• Build and maintain automated code testing across the stack (unit integration and end-to-end as appropriate).

• Performance and load testing knowledge is advantageous and welcomed where it can be applied to harden critical paths.

• Partner with Technical Leads to ensure designs and implementation follow good practice and align with department engineering standards (branching model code review testing strategy documentation).

• Seek review and input from Technical Leads on designs particularly where decisions have cross-team or long-lasting impact.

• Raise technical risks and trade-offs early and clearly proposing options rather than just flagging problems.

• Participate fully in the code review process both giving and receiving reviews.

• Provide thorough constructive reviews that uphold department standards.

• Offer informal technical guidance and support to peers where appropriate: sharing knowledge and helping unblock others.

• Lead by example in code quality testing and documentation practices.

• Provide accurate technical input into estimation and backlog refinement for their own work.

• Communicate progress blockers and risks proactively.

• Own your work end-to-end. From outline design through to implementation testing and delivery. You are accountable for the full lifecycle of what you build.

• Full stack means full stack. Be genuinely comfortable moving between Angular front end Java services AWS infrastructure and MySQL data layers.

• Lean on Technical Leads dont defer to them. Theyre a sounding board for good practice and harder design decisions not a gate you need permission from for everyday work.

• Use code generation deliberately. Understand when generated or AI-assisted code speeds you up safely and when it introduces risk that needs closer review.

• Test what you build. Automated testing isnt an afterthought: its part of what done means and performance under load is worth thinking about for anything on a critical path.

• Raise issues early. A technical risk surfaced early is manageable; the same risk surfaced late is a crisis.
