Your role:
As a Senior Full Stack / Integration Engineer, you'll join a team building and evolving a complex, microservices-based platform end to end — from backend services and APIs through to the React frontend. You'll work in an AI-assisted development environment, using agentic coding tools alongside structured specifications and acceptance criteria to drive implementation, and you'll be expected to critically review AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, security, and performance. This role requires the ability to take full ownership of features from requirements through production, across distributed, cloud- and edge-deployed systems.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and build backend services and REST APIs using Python and FastAPI
• Develop and maintain frontend features using React
• Design and evolve microservices-based systems architecture
• Deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain distributed applications running in Kubernetes, including edge and on-premises environments
• Work across cloud and edge/on-premises architectures, including Google Cloud Platform
• Design, implement, and optimize data layers using PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL
• Apply strong CI/CD, automated testing, source control, code review, and observability practices across the delivery pipeline
• Work within AI-assisted or AI-accelerated development workflows, leveraging tools like Claude Code or similar agentic coding tools to support implementation
• Translate structured specifications, requirements, and acceptance criteria into AI-assisted implementation
• Critically review AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, security, performance, and alignment with requirements
• Take ownership of features independently, from requirements through production

Minimum qualifications:

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong full-stack background
• Strong Python development experience
• Experience building backend services and REST APIs with FastAPI
• Strong experience with React
• Extensive experience designing and developing microservices-based systems
• Extensive hands-on Kubernetes experience, including troubleshooting distributed applications
• Experience with cloud and edge or on-premises architectures
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL
• Experience developing applications on Google Cloud Platform
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing, source control, code review, observability, and modern software delivery practices
• Proven experience working in an AI-assisted or AI-accelerated development environment
• Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar agentic coding tools
• Experience using structured specifications, requirements, and acceptance criteria to drive AI-assisted implementation
• Ability to critically review AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, security, performance, and alignment with requirements
• Must be able to work independently and take ownership of features from requirements through production

Bonus qualifications:

• Vue
• TypeScript and Java, particularly in modernization efforts toward Python
• Google Kubernetes Engine and other GCP-native services
• Edge or on-premises Kubernetes
• Healthcare, medical, clinical, or regulated software
• AI/ML, computer vision, video processing, or analytics platforms
