Senior Full Stack Software Engineer at Baylor Genetics

The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will architect, develop, and maintain end-to-end cloud-native applications using React, Node.js, and TypeScript as the primary stack. This role demands strong technical depth across front-end and backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps/SRE practices. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, improving scalability, and mentoring others while leveraging technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, C#, Python, and modern databases including MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL systems.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong full stack contributions.
• Proficiency in React and TypeScript for modern front-end development.
• Strong expertise in Node.js for backend and API development.
• Working knowledge of C# (.NET Core) and Python for cross-system integration or scripting.
• Proven experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architectures.
• Solid database expertise with MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS).
• Strong familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and serverless services.
• Hands-on experience of SRE principles including observability, monitoring, and reliability automation.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD).
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi).
• Deep understanding of application performance tuning, scalability, and security.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, xUnit, etc.).
• Excellent communication skills, leadership presence, and ability to mentor and guide technical teams.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Design and develop full stack applications using React (TypeScript) for the UI and Node.js for backend APIs.
• Architect scalable and secure microservices that integrate across multiple systems and services.
• Lead technical design discussions, balancing innovation, maintainability, and performance.
• Collaborate with designers and product owners to build intuitive, responsive, and accessible user interfaces.
• Design and optimize data models and queries across SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Implement cloud-native architectures and manage deployments in AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth and automated deployments.
• Implement observability tools and monitor application performance, uptime, and reliability.
• Apply security best practices to both front-end and backend systems.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve production issues across the full stack.
• Review code, provide constructive feedback, and enforce engineering best practices.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and promote knowledge-sharing within the team.
• Research and adopt emerging technologies to improve system performance and developer efficiency.
• Participate in sprint planning, estimations, retrospectives, and architectural reviews.
• Drive a culture of quality, automation, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.

Areas of Work

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, modern UI frameworks, accessibility, and performance.
• Backend: Node.js APIs, C#, Python, and microservices architecture.
• Databases: MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL (MongoDB/Redis/DynamoDB).
• Cloud & DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud deployments.
• SRE & Architecture: Observability, reliability, scalability, and cross-system integration.
