Senior Full Stack Engineer

Team and Position Summary

At NS, our Product & Advisory team drives disciplined product outcomes through high-quality engineering and analytical excellence. We are a dynamic group that values structured thinking, collaboration, and continuous learning.

Our engineers design and build customer-facing applications, core platforms, data services, and system integrations that must operate reliably at scale, under regulatory scrutiny, and across complex legacy and modern ecosystems.

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to take hands-on technical ownership of solutions within our product domains. This role carries end-to-end accountability – from solution design and implementation through delivery, release, production support, and continuous improvement.

You will operate as a senior individual contributor, balancing deep technical execution with architectural foresight and team leadership. The role includes partial architecture ownership, close collaboration with Enterprise Architecture (EA), and technical guidance for a small team (1 to 3 engineers).

This position is suitable for:

• Experienced Full Stack Engineers who enjoy solving complex problems across system boundaries.
• Engineers ready to deepen their ownership, architectural, and leadership responsibilities in enterprise-scale environments.

Key Responsibilities

1.    Solution Design & Hands-On Engineering

• Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end solutions across back-end services, APIs, data layers, and front-end components.
• Translate complex business, analytical, and integration requirements into sound, scalable implementations.
• Make clear, defensible design decisions balancing speed, quality, operability, and long-term sustainability.
• Operate confidently across greenfield development and legacy integration contexts.

2.    Delivery Execution & Ownership

• Own the entire technical delivery lifecycle — from development and testing through release and production support.
• Break down complex requirements into actionable tasks and executable plans.
• Identify, communicate, and mitigate technical risks, dependencies, and constraints early in project lifecycles.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, and Architecture teams to ensure successful delivery outcomes.
• Take ownership of production issues with structured troubleshooting and durable solutions.

3.    Architecture, Integration & Alignment

• Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture to ensure alignment with architectural principles, platform direction, and technical standards.
• Design and implement integrations using APIs, messaging, and event-driven patterns.
• Participate actively in architectural discussions, documenting key design decisions and trade-offs.
• Ensure that solutions meet non-functional standards, including scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.

4.    Engineering Discipline & Quality

• Uphold and champion best practices in coding standards, design reviews, testing, and release discipline.
• Maintain a high bar for code readability, maintainability, and version control.
• Promote continuous improvement within your team through feedback, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
• Guide the team in achieving production readiness through structured reviews and strong quality controls.

5.    Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead by example, providing technical direction and guidance to a small team (1–3 engineers).
• Mentor junior engineers, fostering growth in problem-solving, design thinking, and ownership.
• Serve as the technical anchor in challenging, ambiguous, or high-stakes delivery environments.

Requirements

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
• 6–8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with solid full stack exposure.
• Proven experience with modern front-end frameworks: React, Angular, or Vue.js, including TypeScript.
• Proven experience with one or more backend languages/frameworks: Java, .NET, or Python.
• Strong knowledge of SQL-based data stores, schema design, and data modeling.
• Experience with event-driven architectures, messaging systems, or stream processing.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Demonstrated experience delivering enterprise or customer-facing software in regulated or high-compliance contexts.
• Track record of technical ownership across the delivery lifecycle, including post-release operations, ideally in Agile environments.

Core Skills and Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with explicit trade-off reasoning.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, data integration, and system design principles.
• High standards for engineering quality and disciplined delivery practices.
• Collaborative mindset, working effectively with cross-functional teams across Product, QA, DevOps, and Architecture.
• Comfortable operating under ambiguity with minimal supervision.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills — structured, clear, and actionable.
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and professional pride in quality outcomes.
• A proactive, results-oriented mindset and the ability to work effectively in fast-paced, complex environments.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Prior participation in architectural design or implementing transitional/modernization architectures.
• Experience integrating modern solutions into legacy environments.
• Experience with mobile development (iOS/Android native or React Native/Flutter).
• Demonstrated mentoring or technical leadership experience.
• Familiarity with compliance, security, or audit frameworks relevant to enterprise environments.

Note:
This role is intended for senior engineers who can deliver autonomously and lead with technical depth and maturity. Junior or early-career applicants will not be considered.
