Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with strong engineering judgment. This is not just a coding role. You will act as a technical partner to clients, helping translate complex product ideas into reliable, scalable systems. You will work closely with client teams and Everest engineers to design and deliver modern software systems, while championing best-in-class engineering practices across the stack. This role suits engineers who enjoy solving real product problems, shaping architecture decisions, and mentoring others through example.

Responsibilities

• Shape Technical Direction
  • Drive architecture and technical decisions across the stack, balancing simplicity, scalability, reliability, and time-to-market.
• Build High-Quality Software
  • Design, develop, and operate modern cloud-native applications using clean architecture, testable code, and automated deployment pipelines.
• Partner with Clients
  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to turn ambiguous business problems into pragmatic engineering solutions.
• Advocate for Engineering Excellence
  • Champion strong engineering practices including:
  • Test-Driven Development (TDD)
  • Clean architecture and design patterns
  • Secure coding standards
  • Observability, monitoring, and reliability
• Mentor and Elevate Teams
  • Guide engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and collaborative problem solving while helping strengthen overall team capability.
• Own Production Outcomes
  • Take responsibility for the health of the systems you build, including performance, reliability, and operational support.

Qualifications

We are technology-agnostic, but our projects commonly involve the following technologies.

Required Skills

With modern DevOps practices including:

• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI)
• Monitoring and observability

Demonstrated experience applying modern development practices such as:

• Test-Driven Development
• Behaviour-Driven Development
• Code review discipline
• API design and distributed systems architecture

Consulting Mindset

• You are comfortable making engineering trade-offs and communicating technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Future of Engineering at Everest

We are evolving how we build software through AI-augmented engineering practices. Engineers joining Everest will progressively work with:

AI-Assisted Development

• Using tools like Cursor and Copilot to accelerate development and maintain code quality.

Spec-Driven Development

• Transforming product requirements into structured specifications that AI agents can help implement.
• Agentic Workflows
  • Leveraging multi-agent coding systems to automate repetitive engineering tasks and improve delivery speed.

You don’t need to be an AI expert today, we provide internal training to help our engineers master these practices.
