Job description

Company Description

Geektrust helps great teams come to life by transforming how tech talent is discovered and hired. We blend human judgment with AI-driven insights to identify skilled coders, product specialists, and problem-solvers who may be overlooked by traditional recruitment. Led by experienced tech industry professionals, Geektrust focuses on real-world capability rather than academic pedigree.

Role Description

This opening is for our client - Taylor and Francis

The Senior Full Stack Engineer is a highly skilled individual contributor who builds high-quality software while contributing to technical direction within the team. This is a hands-on role focused on delivering scalable, maintainable solutions while supporting a culture of continuous improvement and collaborative delivery. As part of our AI-First Software Delivery (AIFSD) transformation, you will also contribute to evolving how software is built by leveraging AI to improve development speed, quality, and efficiency.

This role reports to the Engineering Manager or Tech Lead and plays a key part in delivering modern, cloud-based platforms that support our vision of a leading knowledge marketplace. This is an exciting time to join our established business as it undergoes a major transformation, driven by technology at the forefront of academic publishing.

Based in our Technology hub in Bangalore, we are looking for a dynamic, results-oriented Senior Full Stack Engineer who can make timely, pragmatic technical decisions, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term maintainability, and ensuring steady progress without unnecessary complexity.

Key Responsibilities:

Software Development & Technical Contribution

• Write, review, and own production-quality code as an active contributor to the team's codebase; this is a technical, hands-on role
• Champion the use of AI-first software delivery approaches, leveraging AI tools and frameworks to enhance development efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and improve decision-making
• Advocate for and implement modern engineering practices, such as Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Contribute to architectural decisions at the team and system level, balancing pragmatism with long-term maintainability

Delivery & Collaboration

• Help break down complex technical work into well-scoped, deliverable increments
• Contribute as a strong technical contributor within the team, supporting technical discussions and decisions, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including QAs, product owners, architects, designers, and program management to clarify requirements, surface constraints, and align technical solutions with business goals
• Work closely with the Architecture Advice Forum through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to contribute to cross-team technical strategy, championing evolutionary architecture principles
• Remove technical blockers and elevate risks early to protect team delivery commitments
• Balance delivery pace with technical health — advocating for investment in test coverage, refactoring, and debt reduction

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and principles (e.g., SOLID, microservices, event-driven architectures)
• Experience with AI tools, frameworks, platforms, and their application in software delivery
• Experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS services), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks
• Familiarity with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data modelling
• Fluency with XP practices: TDD, pair programming, continuous integration, refactoring
• Working knowledge of security principles (secrets management, least privilege)
