Senior Full Stack Developer, Data Engineering & Architecture

WebCreek is looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with strong expertise in data engineering, distributed systems, and scalable application architecture to help develop and optimize complex enterprise applications.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with React and NestJS, combined with deep knowledge of data processing, backend architecture, and performance optimization. This role requires a proven ability to design scalable solutions, identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, and improve the reliability of data-intensive systems.

This position is well suited for a senior engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, taking ownership of architectural decisions, and collaborating across engineering teams to deliver high-performing, reliable software solutions.

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain enterprise applications using React and NestJS, with a strong focus on backend architecture and data-intensive systems.

• Design, build, and optimize data pipelines, data processing workflows, and integrations to support complex business operations.

• Develop scalable backend services and APIs that support large data volumes, asynchronous processing, and distributed workloads.

• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across applications, databases, APIs, and distributed systems.

• Design and optimize database schemas, queries, and data access patterns to improve performance, scalability, and reliability.

• Work with MongoDB, Redis, queueing systems, and event-driven architectures to support efficient data processing and application performance.

• Lead cross-functional architectural discussions, evaluate technical trade-offs, and recommend scalable solutions across engineering teams.

• Collaborate with frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure teams to establish technical standards and improve system architecture.

• Design and implement reliable asynchronous processing workflows, including background jobs, message queues, and fault-tolerant services.

• Troubleshoot complex production issues, investigate system performance, and implement long-term improvements to stability and reliability.

• Support secure application development, including authentication, authorization, and OpenID Connect (OIDC)-based security.

• Contribute to technical design documentation, code reviews, and architectural decisions to ensure maintainable, production-ready solutions.

• Take ownership of technical initiatives from design through implementation, deployment, and production support.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong background in backend development, data-intensive applications, and distributed systems.

• Strong hands-on experience developing full-stack applications using React and NestJS.

• Deep knowledge of data engineering principles, including data pipelines, data processing, data integration, and performance optimization.

• Proven experience designing and optimizing scalable distributed systems and backend architectures.

• Strong experience developing APIs, backend services, and asynchronous processing workflows.

• Experience with MongoDB or similar NoSQL databases, including data modeling, query optimization, and performance tuning.

• Experience with Redis, caching strategies, and application performance optimization.

• Strong understanding of message queues, event-driven architectures, and reliable asynchronous processing.

• Demonstrated experience identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks across databases, backend services, and distributed applications.

• Experience with authentication and authorization, including OpenID Connect (OIDC) or similar protocols.

• Experience deploying, troubleshooting, and supporting business-critical applications in production environments.

• Ability to lead cross-functional architecture discussions, evaluate technical trade-offs, and drive engineering decisions.

• Strong understanding of system scalability, reliability, maintainability, and performance optimization.

• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams and business stakeholders.

• Ability to work independently, take ownership of complex technical challenges, and deliver solutions with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves):

• Experience with advanced SQL, ETL/ELT processes, and data pipeline optimization.

• Familiarity with distributed data processing technologies, streaming platforms, or data orchestration tools.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization and deployment technologies.

• Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and performance profiling tools for distributed applications.

• Experience leading technical initiatives or architecture improvements across multiple engineering teams.

• Experience working in Oil & Gas, Energy, Industrial, or enterprise technology environments.

• Experience supporting high-volume, data-intensive applications in production.

What You'll Gain:

• Full-time position in a quickly growing company.

• Competitive salary with regular reviews.

• 401(k) Retirement Plan and comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.

• Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays.

• In-house IT training and certifications through WebCreek University.

• Flexible work environment within a diverse, international team.

• Wellness programs and exclusive "workcation" opportunities for top performers.
