Distro; Denver (CO); Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

PrismHR is seeking a senior full stack engineer to own significant features across the stack, from frontend Angular/TypeScript to Node.js/Express services and the data layer. You will partner with product management, lead code reviews, and mentor junior engineers while shaping test strategies across units, integration, and UI validation.

You will work across the boundary between modern stack and payroll core, tackling complex data and migration challenges with a focus on quality and reliability.

Qualifications

• 6–10 years of hands-on full stack development.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, with substantial single-page application work in Angular.
• Solid Node.js and Express, with real experience designing REST APIs or microservices rather than only consuming them.
• Testing discipline across unit, integration, and functional levels.
• Strong SQL and data modeling ability.
• Demonstrated code review leadership and mentoring.
• Ability to debug across tiers and reason from symptom to root cause under pressure.

Responsibilities

• Own significant features end to end across the stack, from design input to production accountability.
• Lead code reviews and uphold the quality bar for the team.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers as part of the role.
• Partner with product management on requirements and with QA on test strategy.
• Document technical designs and ensure smooth migrations between platforms.

Job description

Senior engineering where the requirements are unforgiving and the scale is real. PrismHR is the HR, payroll, and benefits platform used by employer-services organizations across the United States, backed by Vensure Employer Solutions. Payroll software has a property most software does not: there is no acceptable margin of error, and every defect has someone’s name attached to it. That constraint is what makes senior engineering here substantive rather than routine. You will own significant features end to end across the stack — Angular and TypeScript on the front end, Node.js and Express services and APIs behind them, and the data layer underneath. Ownership here means design input, implementation, test coverage, and production accountability, not delivery of assigned tickets. You will lead code reviews and hold the quality bar for the team. You will mentor mid-level and junior engineers, which at this level is part of the job rather than a bonus. You will partner with product management on requirements before they are finalized, and with QA on whether the test strategy actually covers the risk. You will write technical documentation that survives after you move on. You will also work on the boundary between our modern stack and the mature payroll core, which is where the most interesting engineering problems on this platform live — real constraints, complex data, and a migration that has to happen without a single missed pay run.

You will need:

• 6–10 years of hands-on full stack development
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, with substantial single-page application work in Angular
• Solid Node.js and Express, with real experience designing REST APIs or microservices rather than only consuming them
• Testing discipline across unit, integration, and functional levels
• Strong SQL and data modeling ability
• Demonstrated code review leadership and mentoring
• Ability to debug across tiers and reason from symptom to root cause under pressure

Nice to have:

• Docker
• AWS or Azure
• legacy modernization experience
• CI/CD ownership
• NoSQL or multi-value database exposure
• AI-assisted development practice
• payroll, benefits, or HCM domain knowledge

The schedule: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday to Friday, with the first four hours from the Noida office and the rest from home — no 3:00 AM commute. At senior level, overlap determines your influence: design decisions get made in live conversation, and sharing hours with the whole company is the difference between shaping the work and implementing someone else’s version of it. Your mornings and afternoons are yours. Competitive compensation, health coverage, learning support, and a technical growth path toward Staff, Principal, and Architect scope.
