Job Description

The Full Stack Engineer builds custom applications, workflows, and integrations on top of our product platform to meet unique customer needs. This role combines strong front-end and back-end engineering skills with customer-facing solution design, modern API development, cloud deployment, and cross-functional collaboration.

Engineers at this level independently deliver end-to-end solutions of moderate complexity, choosing from established patterns while exercising sound technical judgment. They work directly with internal teams and, at times, with customers to ensure successful implementation and adoption

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end development of custom apps, extensions, and integrations that run on top of our platform—including UI, APIs, data processing, and deployment.
• Build responsive user interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React or Angular.
• Design and implement back-end services and APIs using Python (FastAPI) following secure, scalable, and maintainable coding practices.
• Integrate with customer systems using REST APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, and data-exchange standards.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines, automate deployments, and manage environments across cloud providers (AWS preferred).
• Collaborate with Product, Platform Engineering, and Solutions teams to capture requirements and convert them into technical designs and deliverables.
• Debug complex customer issues across the stack — UI, API, database, authentication, networking, and cloud infrastructure.
• Ensure strong engineering hygiene: documentation, code quality, observability, test coverage, and version control practices.
• Proactively identify risks, performance bottlenecks, and maintainability issues; propose improvements and modernization when appropriate.
• Provide mentorship, design guidance, or support to IC1–IC2 engineers during project delivery

Requirements:

• 2–4 years of experience in full stack development or building custom solutions for customers or internal platforms.
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and experience with at least one modern front-end framework (React or Angular).
• Solid back-end experience using Python, including frameworks such as FastAPI (preferred) or Flask/Django.
• Hands-on experience designing and consuming REST APIs, including auth flows (OAuth, API tokens, JWT), pagination, and error handling.
• Familiarity with database fundamentals, SQL query writing, schema design, and handling relational data.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git, automated testing, and deployment best practices.
• Good understanding of AWS or any major cloud provider (IAM basics, compute, networking, storage, serverless, logging/monitoring).
• Ability to build secure, maintainable integrations and automate workflows or processes as needed.
• Understanding of UI/UX fundamentals and the ability to produce clean, intuitive, customer-friendly front-end work.
• Optional but beneficial: exposure to event-driven architectures, containerization (Docker), or asynchronous task frameworks.
• Chemical Engineering or other relevant science degrees are an added advantage

Soft Skills & Behavioral Competencies:

• Excellent verbal and written communication; able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical users.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; able to break down ambiguous requirements into clear technical plans.
• Customer-centric mindset with empathy, responsiveness, and ownership of customer success.
• Effective collaboration with cross-functional teams including Product, Support, and Engineering.
• High standards for documentation, clarity, and quality of work.
• Ability to manage priorities across multiple projects and deliver reliably.
• Initiative and autonomy in identifying gaps, proposing improvements, and taking action

Work Location & Travel Expectations

• This role is remote-friendly, allowing team members to work remotely on a regular basis.
• Occasional travel to our office locations in Bangalore and Chennai is expected to support team meetings, planning sessions, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Travel is anticipated to be approximately 10–15% of the time, which typically translates to around 5–8 weeks per year, based on business and team needs
