Job Description

About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help design and build next-generation, cloud-native applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role sits at the intersection of modern full-stack engineering, cloud architecture, and generative AI–powered development.

You will join a highly skilled, collaborative engineering team driving a large-scale technology transformation. In this role, you’ll architect, build, and deploy scalable APIs, microservices, and SaaS platforms while leveraging AI-powered coding assistants to accelerate delivery and improve quality. You’ll also contribute to the design, development, and deployment of AI agents within a cloud-native ecosystem.

This is an opportunity for engineers who think beyond implementation—those who enjoy shaping technical direction, mentoring teammates, and solving complex, real-world problems at scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and deliver cloud-native full-stack solutions using modern SDLC and Agile practices.

  • Develop scalable APIs and microservices using Java (Spring Boot), Python, Node.js, and related frameworks on public cloud infrastructure (primarily GCP; AWS experience a plus).

  • Actively leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Claude) to accelerate development, improve code quality, enhance testing, and strengthen observability.

  • Design, develop, and deploy AI agents and AI-enabled services within cloud environments.

  • Collaborate closely with product managers, architects, SREs, and business partners to define technical strategy, roadmaps, and architectural decisions.

  • Lead and contribute to production troubleshooting, applying deep technical expertise to resolve complex issues.

  • Promote best practices across DevSecOps, reliability, scalability, and performance, including defining and tracking engineering metrics (SLA, SLO, SLI).

  • Participate in and help lead Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.

  • Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and support materials.

  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Could Set You Apart

  • Hands-on experience with Generative AI, including tools and models such as Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or Llama.

  • Experience building and deploying AI agents into production environments.

  • Strong proficiency with modern front-end technologies (Angular, React, TypeScript, JavaScript).

  • Deep backend expertise in Java Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and API design.

  • Experience with cloud-native databases, including relational and NoSQL platforms.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and observability tooling.

  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, mentorship-oriented mindset.

  • Comfort working in highly regulated or enterprise environments.

What Experience You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

  • 5–7+ years of professional software development experience, delivering production-grade full-stack applications.

  • Front-end experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) and strong HTML/CSS/TypeScript fundamentals.

  • Back-end experience with Java, Python, Node.js, or Go, building RESTful APIs and microservices.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure acceptable).

  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized application deployment.

  • Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).

  • CI/CD experience with tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.

  • Strong database experience across SQL and NoSQL technologies.
