Full Stack Engineer, Node/Typescript

Description

• Dive deep into our existing codebase to build a thorough understanding of our architecture, data models, and service dependencies — becoming a reliable backup and steward of core systems • Write clean, well-documented TypeScript and Node.js code across backend services, APIs, and frontend features, with a consistent eye toward maintainability and performance • Manage your work through Jira — picking up tickets, contributing to sprint planning, and keeping tasks and statuses accurate so the team always has clear visibility into progress • Collaborate via GitHub using pull requests, code reviews, and branching strategies that keep our codebase healthy and deployments predictable • Maintain and expand technical documentation in Confluence , ensuring that institutional knowledge is captured, up to date, and accessible to the whole team • Participate in regular code reviews — both giving and receiving feedback thoughtfully to raise the quality bar across the board • Help triage, debug, and resolve production issues, taking ownership of problems through to resolution rather than passing them along • Contribute to the design and implementation of new features end-to-end, from data modeling and API design to integration and testing • Proactively flag technical debt, inconsistencies, or risks you encounter and work collaboratively to address them over time • Engage in team ceremonies — standups, sprint reviews, retrospectives — and bring a constructive, communicative presence to everything you do.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong hands-on proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript • Solid understanding of REST API design and backend service architecture • Strong SQL fluency — you can write complex queries, design normalized schemas, and reason clearly about data modeling and relationships • Experience working in GitHub -based workflows, including branching strategies, pull requests, and collaborative code review • Familiarity with Jira for task and sprint management in an agile or scrum environment • Demonstrated ability to onboard into an existing codebase, understand system dependencies, and contribute meaningfully without requiring heavy hand-holding • Comfort working across the full stack — you don't need to be a designer, but you can own a feature from the database layer to the API to the UI • Experience writing and maintaining technical documentation (Confluence or equivalent) • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills — you approach production issues methodically and see them through to resolution • Clear, proactive communicator who keeps teammates informed and asks questions early rather than spinning in silence.
