BluJuniper is an AI and optimization company that builds advanced software systems for complex operational environments. Our work spans cloud-native platforms, computer vision, natural language processing, data infrastructure, secure collaboration, and mission-focused AI/ML applications.

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build user-facing and backend capabilities for advanced AI-enabled applications. This role will work across frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, authentication, customer onboarding, and integration points across the broader platform.

About the Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will design and implement application features that connect modern frontend experiences with reliable backend services. You will work across web interfaces, service APIs, cloud-based systems, data models, and secure platform workflows.

This role is ideal for an engineer with strong full-stack experience who is comfortable building production web applications and backend services. Experience with AngularJS and Go-based backend services, including Go/Chi or comparable Go web frameworks, is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop full-stack application features across frontend and backend services.
• Develop backend services and APIs using Go, Chi, or comparable backend frameworks.
• Build secure application workflows for authentication, authorization, role-based access control, and customer onboarding.
• Work with backend, AI/ML, product, infrastructure, and security teams to integrate frontend capabilities with platform services.
• Develop data models, API contracts, service interfaces, and integrations across the platform.
• Support cloud-based, microservice-oriented systems that are reliable, observable, secure, and maintainable.
• Improve application performance, usability, maintainability, and debuggability across production systems.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional full-stack, frontend, backend, or software engineering experience.
• Experience building production web applications using AngularJS, Angular, React, Vue, or comparable frontend frameworks.
• Experience building backend services, APIs, or microservices using Go, Java, C#, Node.js, Python, or comparable technologies.
• Experience with API design, service integration, data modeling, and frontend-to-backend communication patterns.
• Experience with authentication, authorization, role-based access control, or secure user workflows.
• Experience working with cloud-based architectures, distributed systems, databases, and production software environments.
• Strong debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AngularJS or Angular.
• Hands-on experience with Go, Chi, or comparable Go backend frameworks.
• Experience with customer onboarding workflows, enterprise administration, permissions, or tenant-aware applications.
• Experience with Apache Kafka, event-driven architectures, message queues, or stream-processing systems.
• Experience building interfaces for data-intensive, real-time, AI/ML, geospatial, collaboration, or operational platforms.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, observability, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience working in regulated, government, defense, or enterprise security environments.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means you can turn product requirements into clean, usable, and maintainable application features. You can move comfortably between frontend implementation, backend service design, API integration, and production debugging.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is practical, product-minded, and technically strong across the stack. The ideal candidate can build useful software quickly without sacrificing reliability, security, or long-term maintainability.
