Job description

Senior React Python Engineer at Nearform - $180k+ — Remote

This is a strong opportunity for experienced engineers looking to deepen their expertise at the intersection of AI and enterprise software development. Nearform works with high-profile clients (Starbucks, Walmart, Lululemon), which means your portfolio will carry recognizable names.

Compensation is competitive: at $150k–$180k base plus an annual profit-share bonus and 4% 401(k) match, the total package comfortably exceeds the US median for Senior Software Engineers (~$140k–$160k base), making this above-market, particularly for a fully remote role.

Skills you'll build here are highly in-demand:

• React + Python full-stack development remains one of the most sought-after skill combinations in 2024–2025
• AI-native development practices and agentic LLM workflows (LangGraph, etc.) are early-stage but rapidly growing areas that command a premium on the job market
• Client-facing consulting experience accelerates soft-skill development that pure product roles often lack

Culture signals: Nearform positions itself as a people-first, collaborative consultancy with a genuinely flexible remote policy — not just lip-service. The 500-person, 20-country footprint suggests a mid-size company with stable client revenue but startup-level agility.

Green flags: immediate 401(k) vesting, training budget, transparent salary range, structured interview process. Watch for: as a consultancy, project variety is high but you may have less control over which domains you work in, and client travel expectations could increase depending on project needs.

Best suited for engineers who want variety, AI exposure, and senior-level autonomy without the risk of an early-stage startup.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity for candidates based in the United States and authorized to work without sponsorship. Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

This position also requires traveling to client sites within the U.S., with travel expenses covered by the company.

Nearform is an independent team of data & AI experts, engineers, and designers who build intelligent digital solutions and capability at pace. We create AI-enabled solutions that enhance digital experiences, empower developers, and deliver measurable results. In these ways, we partner with ambitious enterprises to deliver enduring impact.

Our deep expertise in solving the world's most complex digital problems, along with our collaborative, people-first approach, enables enterprises to build breakthrough products and modernise legacy systems by unleashing the power of AI.

Today, our team of 500 experts in 20+ countries is trusted by leading enterprises including Lululemon, Puma, Sun Life, Starbucks, Travelex, Virgin Media O2, and Walmart.

As part of our Engineering function, you will work closely with clients to translate complex business requirements into innovative digital products. Whether you are a Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, or DevOps Engineer, you will collaborate with distributed teams, leveraging cutting‑edge technologies to build secure, high‑performance applications. Our Nearform engineers are known for building high‑quality, scalable solutions that solve real‑world problems.

• Testing experience and familiarity with testing tools at all levels: unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Practical and real-world experience working with databases and cloud environments.
• Experience building software collaboratively using pull requests and code reviews.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Professional proficiency in English.

Nice to Have:

• Training and Development Allowance — Nearform is committed to supporting and investing in employees’ ongoing learning and professional development. You will be encouraged to pursue relevant learning opportunities, subject to manager approval.
• Healthcare — We offer additional private healthcare. Reach out to our team to learn more about the plan offered.
• 401(k) — We offer a 401(k) plan and match up to 4%, with no minimum entry requirements and immediate vesting of employer contributions.
