Lead Full Stack Developer

What is the opportunity?

We’re seeking a Full Stack Developer to join the Residential Lending (Mortgage) technology team, embedded with DevOps/Support. You’ll own and stabilize lower environments, partner with application developers to diagnose and resolve issues, and help keep CI/CD and cloud infrastructure reliable so teams can deliver safely and quickly.

What will you do?

• Own day-to-day health of lower environments (dev/test/UAT): provisioning, configuration, deployments, monitoring, and incident response.
• Partner with application developers to reproduce, triage, and resolve environment and integration issues across the stack.
• Implement, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions) for consistent, secure deployments to cloud environments.
• Perform engineering support work including performance tuning, monitoring, and deployment troubleshooting.
• Design, build, and support APIs and integrations (REST, Kafka/event-driven) that connect systems and data across environments.
• Collaborate with business partners, architects, and product teams to clarify technical needs and prioritize environment and platform work.
• Work with enterprise-distributed teams to deliver and support capabilities in mortgage/lending applications.
• Use GenAI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) for code assistance, test data, and automated testing; look for opportunities to automate repetitive support and delivery work.
• Analyze and maintain data/database designs and models across environments as needed for troubleshooting and support.
• Follow architectural standards, security practices, and established methodologies.

What do you need to succeed?

Must-have:

• 10+ years with C# (.NET Core), Visual Studio, web services, XML, and RESTful APIs; experience with Kafka and/or event-driven integration.
• 10+ years designing and operating cloud solutions on Azure (Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Azure DevOps, Event Hub, Redis, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Azure Repos).
• Strong background in REST APIs, system design, application integration, and data mapping between source and target systems.
• Hands-on DevOps experience: CI/CD, environment management, deployments, and supporting developers in lower environments.
• Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with design patterns (MVC, MVVM, etc.), SOA, and related architectural concepts.
• Experience with AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot), SQL and/or NoSQL databases, and Agile delivery.
• Strong problem-solving skills; able to explain technical issues to non-technical partners and work across business and engineering teams.
• Curiosity, continuous learning, and comfort with new tools and platforms.
• Understanding of financial services and lending/mortgage business models preferred.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with OpenShift or multi-cloud (AWS/Azure).
• Familiarity with prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD).
• Prior support/SRE-style work in regulated banking environments.

What’s in it for you?
