Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Full Stack Application Developer to design and build modern, production-ready applications and user experiences. This role requires strong hands-on experience developing Single Page Applications (SPAs), building backend services and APIs, and working with relational databases. The ideal candidate combines strong application engineering fundamentals with a bias toward action, excellent communication skills, and technical leadership. Experience with Databricks Apps and the broader Databricks platform is highly desirable but not required.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and deploy modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) using frameworks such as React, Angular, or similar technologies.
- Build intuitive, responsive, and maintainable front-end experiences using modern JavaScript/TypeScript development practices.
- Develop scalable backend services and REST APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, or similar technologies.
- Design and integrate applications with relational databases, with a strong emphasis on PostgreSQL.
- Build end-to-end application functionality spanning front-end, backend, APIs, authentication, and data layers.
- Collaborate with data engineers, platform engineers, architects, product stakeholders, and customers to translate business requirements into working applications.
- Develop applications and user experiences that integrate with data and analytics platforms.
- Drive technical decisions and proactively identify and resolve engineering challenges.
- Produce clean, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to application development standards and best practices.
- Communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, risks, and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Take ownership of deliverables and drive projects from requirements through production deployment.
Must-Have Qualifications:
- Strong professional experience in full-stack application development.
- Demonstrated experience designing and building production Single Page Applications (SPAs).
- Strong hands-on experience with modern front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or equivalent.
- Strong JavaScript and TypeScript development experience.
- Experience building backend applications, services, and APIs using technologies such as FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, or equivalent frameworks.
- Strong experience working with relational databases, including database design, queries, application integration, and performance considerations.
- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or comparable relational database technologies.
- Experience integrating front-end applications with backend APIs and data services.
- Understanding of modern application architecture, authentication, security, testing, and deployment practices.
- Ability to independently take a feature or application from concept through implementation and delivery.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications:
- Experience developing and deploying Databricks Apps.
- General hands-on experience with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
- Experience integrating custom applications with Databricks data, APIs, SQL warehouses, or other platform capabilities.
- Familiarity with Databricks technologies such as Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architectures.
- Experience building data-intensive or analytics-focused web applications.
- Cloud application development experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Experience with CI/CD, containers, and modern application deployment practices.
What We're Looking For
- Beyond technical expertise, success in this role requires strong ownership and interpersonal skills.
- Bias Toward Action: You are comfortable operating with ambiguity, making informed decisions, and moving work forward without waiting for perfect information.
- Communication: You communicate proactively and clearly, raise risks early, and can effectively collaborate with engineers, business stakeholders, and customers.
- Leadership & Ownership: You take responsibility for outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks. You can lead technical discussions, influence architecture and engineering decisions, and help other team members succeed.
- Problem Solving: You enjoy breaking down complex business and technical problems and turning them into pragmatic, scalable solutions.
- Collaboration: You work effectively across application development, data engineering, platform, architecture, and business teams and are comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
