Our work is the catalyst that helps others achieve their goals. In short, We Enable PossibilitySM.We're looking for a passionate, detail-oriented Senior Full Stack Engineer who is equally comfortable working across the frontend and backend. You'll contribute to both our user-facing React/Angular applications and our Node.js microservices, helping us build, scale, and maintain the systems that power Thimble's platform — including the external-facing APIs our partners rely on.This role goes beyond feature delivery. You'll help shape the technical strategy of the platform, influence architectural direction, and partner directly with product and growth teams to turn business objectives into engineering outcomes — from improving how customers discover and purchase coverage to scaling the systems behind new products and markets. You thrive in event-driven, distributed architectures and have a strong instinct for writing clean, observable, and resilient code.**WHAT YOU'LL DO****Technical Leadership & Architecture*** Lead end-to-end system design for complex, high-scale backend platforms — owning the full lifecycle from requirements through implementation and iteration* Define architectural principles and engineering best practices that raise the quality bar across the team* Make high-impact design decisions involving deliberate trade-offs between scalability, performance, cost, and long-term maintainability* Design data models that are well-structured, efficient, and built to evolve alongside the product**Full Stack Delivery*** Design, develop, and maintain full stack features across React/Angular frontends and Node.js backend microservices* Build and evolve RESTful and event-driven APIs — both internal services and external-facing APIs consumed by our partners — ensuring they are well-tested, documented, and production-ready* Work with MongoDB to design schemas, write efficient queries, and manage data at scale* Develop and maintain event-driven workflows using AWS SNS and SQS to manage asynchronous system flows reliably* Instrument services with monitoring and observability tooling — setting up metrics, alerts, dashboards, and distributed tracing to ensure system health* Investigate and resolve complex bugs and production incidents end-to-end — from the UI down to the service layer**Strategy & Growth*** Partner with product, design, and growth teams on growth initiatives — customer acquisition, activation, and conversion funnel improvements — translating experiment ideas into shippable, measurable features* Contribute to experimentation and A/B testing efforts, using data and metrics to validate impact and inform the next iteration* Align technical decisions with business strategy — weighing near-term growth opportunities against long-term platform health, and communicating those trade-offs clearly to stakeholders* Conduct technical research and propose solutions to new and ambiguous engineering challenges* Plan and manage your own work independently, breaking down large features into well-scoped tasks and driving them to delivery* Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and contribute to engineering best practices* Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers across the stack**OUR TECH STACK*** **Frontend:** React (Jest), Angular 2+ (Jasmine & Karma), Next.js, Razzle, TypeScript* **Backend:** Node.js microservices (Koa, NestJS)* **Database:** MongoDB* **Messaging:** AWS SNS & SQS (event-driven async flows)* **Cloud:** AWS* **E2E Testing:** Playwright* **Monitoring:** AWS CloudWatch,
