As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you will be responsible for implementing features and solutions across both frontend and backend systems. The ideal candidate will have a product-oriented mindset with a passion for technology and customer satisfaction. You will play a critical role in the company's success by ensuring that software development is aligned with customer needs and the company's overall growth and profitability.

At Metropolis, we thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where everyone’s contributions matter. Together, we challenge the status quo to deliver remarkable results.

  • Independently design, develop, and maintain features across the full technology stack—from database schemas to backend APIs to user interfaces.
  • Fully own projects from inception to production, ensuring high-quality delivery and rapid iteration.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams, including UX designers and backend engineers, to align on technical requirements and deliver exceptional user experiences.
  • Ensure the system’s performance and scalability to handle high-throughput environments.
  • Champion best practices in coding, testing, and deployment to ensure robust, maintainable solutions.
  • Mentor junior engineers, promoting a culture of learning and growth within the team.
  • Participate in technical discussions, evaluate new tools and frameworks, and implement improvements to keep our platform evolving.

Required Qualifications 

  • MS or BS in Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
  • Proven experience providing technical direction for a team of engineers.
  • 6+ years of experience building scalable applications in both frontend and backend environments.
  • Proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue) and strong understanding of frontend design principles.
  • Extensive experience with backend technologies (e.g., Node.js, Python, Ruby, or Java) and RESTful API development.
  • Strong understanding of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and familiarity with NoSQL databases.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience working in an agile environment with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to articulate technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience coding in Scala
  • Experience with serverless architecture and microservices.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Exposure to high-volume, consumer-facing applications.
  • Understanding of computer vision or artificial intelligence technologies.
 
When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate.
