Our Client

We’re partnering with a high-growth technology company that develops large-scale data and analytics platforms used by enterprise clients. As they continue to expand, they’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, shipping quickly, and working across the entire stack in a fast-paced environment.

About the Role

You’ll work across both the front end and backend, contributing to architecture discussions, planning, estimation, coding, testing, documentation and feature delivery during sprint cycles. You’ll also act as a design authority for components you own and help uplift junior engineers where needed. Because the company operates in a start-up style environment, you’ll occasionally assist with production support and troubleshooting. perfect for someone who enjoys variety and end-to-end involvement in the product lifecycle.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong Python engineering capability (some Java experience is plus)
• Experience with modern front-end frameworks, particularly React or Next.js
• Strong SQL and API development experience
• Experience in Financial Services and Capital Markets is an advantage

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Real ownership in a small, high-performing engineering team
• Opportunities to contribute across architecture, delivery, operations and improvement initiatives
• Work directly with senior technical leaders including the Engineering Manager, CTO and Solution Architect
• A modern tech stack with ongoing greenfield development
• A culture that values engineering excellence, curiosity and continuous learning

If you’re a full‑stack engineer who wants breadth, autonomy and the opportunity to build meaningful software that customers use every day, we’d love to speak with you.
