[Hiring] Senior Full Stack Engineer @Soal Labs

Role Description

Senior Full-Stack Engineer. You'll own products end-to-end, from ambiguous requirements to running systems. About 60-70% hands-on coding, 30-40% architecture, mentorship, and client work. This is a full time role. This isn't a management track - it's for senior IC’s who build and lead by example.

What You'll Actually Do

• Ship production code daily. Python backends, TypeScript/React frontends, data pipelines. You write it, you own it.
• Turn fuzzy asks into working software. Clients say "we need better risk analysis." You dig into the requirements and are able to design the right system, build it, deploy it.
• Raise the bar. Code reviews that teach. Documentation that lasts. Architecture decisions that age well.
• Work independently. Take a feature from zero to shipped without hand-holding. Know when to ask questions, when to make decisions.
• Share what you know. Pair programming, technical writing, lunch-and-learns. Your expertise makes everyone better.

Technical Bar

• Python expert. Not just syntax - you understand the ecosystem, write idiomatic code, know when to use async, can profile and optimize. You've built real systems that handle real load.
• Full-stack capable. Strong TypeScript/Node and React. You can build a complete feature across the stack.
• Engineering fundamentals. Clean APIs, thoughtful data models, proper testing, useful logging. The boring stuff that makes systems work.
• AI-augmented workflow. You use AI to fly, but you know how to build without accumulating too much technical debt.

Who Thrives Here

• Thorough by nature. You test edge cases, document decisions, think through implications. Details matter to you.
• Professional communicator. Clear written docs, helpful code reviews, confident client presentations. No hand-waving.
• Self-directed. You manage your time, set your priorities, and deliver without micromanagement.
• Teacher at heart. You enjoy lifting others up and building team capabilities, not just individual heroics.

Experience

• 5+ years shipping production systems you've owned end-to-end.
• Track record of mentoring without becoming purely managerial.
• History of working successfully in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

What We Offer

• Work with genuinely excellent engineers on genuinely hard problems.
• Fully remote - work from anywhere, but maintain flexibility for meetings during US Eastern hours.
• Very competitive compensation.
• Unlimited PTO.
