We leverage our scale, proprietary data and insights, and foundational focus on sustainability to drive success for our customers’ businesses and deliver value for our stakeholders. We put our people, customers, and communities first and find ways to make a conscious, positive impact where we live and work.

• Integrate applications with data pipelines, ML models, and visualization components.
• Write production-quality code leveraging AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate development.
• Act as a technical lead for contractors and interns, providing guidance, code reviews, and ensuring alignment with project goals.
• Ensure applications are performant, secure, and scalable across cloud environments (Azure preferred).
• Contribute to architectural decisions and advocate for best practices in full-stack engineering.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Tech Stack

• Front-End: React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, responsive design principles
• Back-End: Python (preferred), Node.js, RESTful APIs
• Data & Integration: SQL, Databricks/Spark for distributed processing
• Prototyping: Streamlit for rapid internal dashboards
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Azure, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes
• AI/ML Integration: TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, MLOps practices
• Visualization: D3.js or similar libraries for interactive data visualizations
• Tools: AI-assisted coding platforms (e.g., Cursor)

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in full-stack application development.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, and responsive design principles.
• Experience building and integrating back-end services and APIs.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools and modern development workflows.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and CI/CD practices.
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills; ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with data visualization libraries (D3.js, Plotly, etc.).
• Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Understanding of ML concepts and ability to work with data science outputs.
