Job description

Pay Type: per year Benefits: Health Insurance, 401(k) with Employer Match, Paid Time Off (PTO), Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance, Life Insurance, Flexible Work Arrangements, Performance Bonuses, Amazing Work Crew and of course snacks.

Reports to: Director of Product Development.

Hybrid schedule (in office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday).

The Full Stack Engineer works alongside other developers on the Product Strategy & Technology (PST) team to build, maintain, and improve DataDelivers' core CDP product. This role owns feature delivery, bug resolution, and production maintenance across the full stack, working within our AWS environment to keep the product roadmap on schedule.

The Full Stack Engineer brings hands‑on proficiency in React, Python, and SQL, along with the ability to read, navigate, and improve an existing codebase. This is a hands‑on delivery role suited to someone early in their full stack career who is ready to contribute across the front end, back end, and cloud infrastructure.

Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain features for the DataDelivers CDP product across the front end (React) and back end (Python, REST APIs)
  • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs and production issues promptly to keep roadmap timelines on track
  • Consume and/or develop RESTful APIs, integrating with internal and third‑party services
  • Write, debug, and optimize SQL queries for data access, reporting, and application support
  • Read, navigate, and extend the existing codebase while following established coding standards
  • Deploy and support applications hosted in AWS across technology stack.
  • Use Git for version control and participate in basic CI/CD processes
  • Collaborate with teammates, product owners, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into working solutions
  • Maintain clear documentation for code, features, and processes
  • Participate in peer code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of team engineering practices
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 2-3 years of professional full stack development experience
  • Hands‑on experience with AWS, particularly Athena, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Amplify, and CloudFront
  • Proficiency with React, including components, hooks, and state management
  • Experience with Python for scripting, APIs, or backend services
  • Strong SQL skills - querying, data modeling, and debugging
  • Experience consuming and/or developing REST APIs
  • Familiarity with Git and basic CI/CD practices
  • Demonstrated ability to read, navigate, and improve an existing codebase
  • Ability to work well with people from different disciplines and varying degrees of technical experience
  • Experience with TypeScript
  • Familiarity with data pipelines or ETL processes
Soft Skills & Work Style
  • Detail‑oriented and QA‑minded, with a focus on outcomes; comfortable catching edge cases and validating that a fix or feature actually works before calling it done
  • Design‑forward; able to execute against a design vision and collaborate closely with the design team to ship polished, on‑brand user experiences
  • Self‑directed and comfortable owning well‑scoped bugs and small feature work independently, with minimal day‑to‑day oversight
  • Clear written communicator, including keeping Jira tickets well‑documented (status, comments, and linked work) so progress is visible without a status‑check conversation
  • Able to own the full lifecycle of small‑to‑medium work independently, from design handoff through development, testing, and production deployment, with limited support
