Job description

Full Stack Engineer - REMOTE

Why you want to work at Flexion:

Flexion is looking for a Full Stack Engineer for an enterprise-level application development project to help work on a platform-as-a-service built for a government project which will help to deploy secure, compliant sites and apps without managing infrastructure. In this role, you must possess excellent problem-solving skills and deep technical knowledge, with a strong aptitude for understanding the focus, scope, and impact of your work in a broader, forward-looking software landscape.

At Flexion (an agile software company that’s been delivering excellence for over 25 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain autonomous and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems by functioning collaboratively—this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (Analysis, Development, Design) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team’s success, which mirrors the company’s overall approach of low hierarchy. We believe that growth comes from working together—and that includes supporting each other through thoughtful, constructive feedback. Flexion team members are expected to help each other grow, challenge ideas respectfully, and integrate feedback as a normal part of the workday.

What the job looks like:

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer particularly strong on the backend. In this role, you must possess excellent problem-solving skills and technical knowledge with a strong aptitude for appreciating the focus, scope, and impact of your work in a much wider and forward-looking software landscape. It is important to use test-driven development with full code coverage.. User-centered design drives our efforts.

Why we want to hire you:

You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing (instead of viewing it as “rework”) and never look at anything you deliver as “final.” You understand when “good enough” really IS good enough, without ever compromising on the overall product quality. You understand that a focus on team health, communications and problem-solving are what creates a good working team.

You have:

• 5+ years of Development experience
• Bachelor's degree and/or equivalent experience
• Strong Python and Node/Typescript development skills
• Demonstrated experience working with RDBMS, particularly PostgreSQL
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs; experience integrating with a variety of external systems is a plus
• Experience with IaC tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation (we use Terraform)
• Experience with cloud and PaaS technologies such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloud Foundry, or cloud.gov
• Experience with Test Driven Development, (we use Playwright and Vitest)
• Experience with GitHub Actions and Jenkins for Continuous Integration (we use GitHub Actions)
• Experience with authentication and authorization solutions such as Keycloak, ZITADEL, Supabase Auth, or AWS Cognito a plus
• Experience with Astro, Next, React, Vue, Svelte, or other frontend frameworks is a plus (we currently use Astro, React, and Lit)
• Knowledge of of HTML, CSS, and web standards is a plus
• Experience with a design system like U.S Web Design System (USWDS) is a plus
• Superb time-management, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing requirements and exercise good judgment when navigating technical tradeoffs

At Flexion, we live by these principles:

• Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
• Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
• Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
• Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
• Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
• Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
• Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
• Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
• Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
• Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
• Offer and welcome constructive feedback as a tool for continuous team and individual growth
• Embrace AI assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, Notebook) as force multipliers to accelerate innovation, iterate faster, and maintain high-quality output.

The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $155,000

At Flexion employees enjoy comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, along with life and disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, and a 401(k) plan. Our people-first culture supports balance and growth with generous paid time off, referral bonuses, and a commitment to well-being and career success.
