Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The Phoenix Group is hiring a Lead Full Stack Engineer to design, build, and deploy scalable full stack systems and end-to-end applications that support data-driven product experiences. The role provides hands-on technical leadership across backend services, frontend architecture, data modeling, AI integrations, security, and engineering reliability.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of full stack applications, including backend services, APIs (REST/GraphQL), and frontend interfaces, ensuring modularity, security, and high performance
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—Product, Design, Data Science—to translate requirements into intuitive, reliable user experiences and scalable backend solutions
• Define and evolve canonical data models, manage complex entity relationships (graphs, hierarchies), and develop indexing/search solutions (Elasticsearch, vector search) supporting AI-driven search and recommendation features
• Build event-driven architectures (Kafka, cloud pub/sub), implementing asynchronous workflows and stream processing for scalable, real-time data handling
• Integrate AI/ML functionalities—such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and entity resolution—into workflows, optimizing usability and business impact
• Establish frontend architecture using modern frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) with focus on performance, accessibility, and shared UI component libraries
• Drive service reliability, system observability, automated testing, and continuous improvement practices
• Implement robust security measures, including role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based access controls (ABAC), across all layers of the application stack
• Mentor engineering teams in architecture, code quality, and technical innovation, fostering best practices and engineering excellence
• Coordinate with DevOps and Security to ensure compliant, scalable, and resilient infrastructure, primarily on cloud platforms like AWS

Skills

• 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering, with demonstrated leadership in complex enterprise systems
• Strong expertise in backend frameworks (FastAPI, Django) and frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) with modern build tools (Vite)
• Proficiency in Python and TypeScript; solid understanding of data modeling (relational, NoSQL, graph databases)
• Extensive experience designing and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs, with large-scale, service-oriented architecture knowledge
• Hands-on experience with event-driven systems (Kafka, cloud pub/sub) and asynchronous processing pipelines
• Skilled in implementing security controls (RBAC, ABAC) and multi-tenant applications, with familiarity in search technologies (Elasticsearch, vector search)
• Deep understanding of cloud-native development in AWS; CI/CD, observability, and automation practices
• Familiarity with AI/ML feature integration, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and AI workflow observability
• Ability to translate technical solutions into scalable, business-oriented products and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams
