[Hiring] Senior Full Stack Engineer @WorkBoard

Role Description

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of our platform. You will work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers to design and deliver scalable, performant, and reliable systems. Beyond hands-on development, you will serve as a technical leader—guiding architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving initiatives that raise the bar for engineering quality and execution. This role requires strong ownership, deep problem-solving skills, and excellent communication. You will operate in a small, highly collaborative team where clarity, accountability, and impact matter. Experience building AI-powered features or using AI tools to improve engineering productivity is a strong plus.

What You’ll Do

• Lead by example: contribute high-quality code across backend and frontend systems
• Shape architecture: design scalable services, APIs, and data models that support long-term growth
• Mentor engineers: coach and support teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and problem-solving
• Own complex problems: drive investigation, debugging, and resolution of performance and scalability challenges
• Drive execution: translate product requirements into clear technical designs and well-scoped Jira tickets
• Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with product and design partners to deliver impactful solutions
• Establish best practices: improve standards around code quality, performance, observability, and reliability
• Champion improvement: introduce new tools, patterns, or approaches—including AI-enabled workflows—where they add real value
