Full Stack Software Engineer - React, Node.js AWS

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (React, Node.js,
AWS)
Denver, CO (Hybrid 3 days onsite in
downtown Denver)

Role Overview
We're hiring a Senior-level full stack engineer to help build a modern, cloud-native digital platform from the ground up. This is a greenfield opportunity within a multi-year
enterprise modernization program focused on secure, contract-first APIs, scalable frontend experiences, and AI-assisted development workflows.
This role goes beyond feature delivery - you'll help shapearchitecture, engineering standards, and platform foundations that
future teams will build upon.

What You'll Work On

• Designing and building secure, query-driven APIs across multiple business domains
• Developing modern React + TypeScript frontend experiences consumed by enterprise users and external clients
• Implementing contract-first API development using OpenAPI and/or GraphQL
• Building and deploying cloud-native services on AWS using serverless and containerized patterns
• Partnering with architects, platform teams, and product leaders on end-to-end solution design
• Contributing to shared libraries, design systems, and platform standards
• Leveraging AI-assisted development tools with defined guardrails, prompts, and review practices

Core Responsibilities
Backend Engineering (Primary Focus)

• Build Node.js / TypeScript microservices on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, EKS/ECS)
• Design dynamic, query-driven APIs (GraphQL, OData, JSON:API, or similar)
• Implement robust security controls (multi-tenant isolation, row-level security, fine-grained authorization)
• Apply contract-first practices with schema validation and typed clients
• Use Infrastructure-as-Code (CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation)

Frontend Engineering

• Build React 18+ applications using component-driven architecture
• Contribute to reusable UI components and shared design systems
• Ensure accessibility (WCAG 2.1+), performance, and responsive design
• Work with modern state management and performance optimization patterns

Quality, Testing & Delivery

• Write automated tests (Jest, Playwright, Cypress)
• Support CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows
• Maintain high code quality through linting, static analysis, and reviews

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Participate in architecture and design reviews
• Mentor other engineers and raise engineering standards
• Translate architectural direction into executable engineering work

Required Experience

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
• 4+ years working with React, Node.js, and TypeScript
• Production experience building query-driven, contract-first APIs
• Hands-on AWS experience (Lambda, API Gateway, EKS/ECS, RDS, S3)
• Strong TypeScript proficiency with shared domain models and typed APIs
• Experience implementing API security and multi-tenant architectures
• Familiarity with CI/CD, cloud-native patterns, and DevSecOps practices
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools in production environments

Nice-to-Have Experience

• Domain-driven design (DDD) or distributed systems
• Event-driven architecture (EventBridge, SNS/SQS, Kafka-style systems)
• Monorepo tooling (Nx, Turborepo)
• Regulated industry experience (insurance, finance, healthcare)
• Python or C#/.NET background

Why This Role Is Different

• True greenfield platform - no legacy maintenance
• High-visibility, enterprise-scale modernization effort
• Real influence on architecture, standards, and tooling
• Modern tech stack + AI-enabled SDLC
• Long-term program with meaningful technical depth
