Job Details
We are seeking a Lead Fullstack Engineer with strong experience in Java, React, and MongoDB to join a Wealth and Investment Management Technology team modernizing a core financial advisor platform. This role is part of a major initiative to overhaul a 25+ year-old legacy system, replacing outdated infrastructure with a modern Spring Boot and microservices-based architecture. The project will streamline account maintenance for financial advisors, reducing legal documentation from 90+ pages to just eight, and significantly improving workflow efficiency.
If you're excited about building scalable applications, working across both frontend and backend (50/50 split), and leading efforts to modernize mission-critical platforms, this is an opportunity to make a large-scale impact. You'll join a highly collaborative engineering team working in agile ceremonies while spending the majority of time hands-on coding. Required Skills & Experience
Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis now and in the future.
