Full Stack Engineer

Encora is looking for a Full Stack Developer to join one of our largest healthcare clients! This is a 3+ month project with high likelihood of extension through 2026. You will work 100% remote supporting EST work hours. 

Our client is building an integrated orchestration platform designed to streamline complex workflows and deliver a seamless experience across multiple stakeholders, systems, and environments. The goal is to create a highly efficient technical solution that automates a series of interconnected tasks, improving scalability, reliability, and user experience.

While there is a React-based frontend component, this role is primarily backend-focused, requiring deep expertise in building and scaling robust APIs, services, and data workflows.

Key Responsibilities 

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications and APIs using Python (FastAPI) and Node.js. 

• Implement and optimize GraphQL APIs for efficient data access and client interaction. 

• Build and maintain dynamic, responsive user interfaces using React.js. 

• Work with Postgres and NoSQL/DynamoDB databases to design schemas, write efficient queries, and manage data flows. 

• Deploy, manage, and scale applications using Kubernetes and AWS cloud infrastructure. 

• Ensure system reliability, security, and performance across the full stack. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and deliver high-quality features. 

• Participate in code reviews, contribute to best practices, and mentor junior engineers when needed. 

• Monitor and troubleshoot production systems, ensuring high availability and minimal downtime. 

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. 

• 3–6 years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer or similar role. 

• Strong proficiency in Python (FastAPI) and Node.js for backend development. 

• Hands-on experience with React.js for modern frontend development. 

• Solid understanding of Postgres and NoSQL databases (DynamoDB or similar). 

• Experience deploying and managing applications in Kubernetes and AWS. 

• Proficiency with GraphQL (queries, mutations, schema design). 

• Strong knowledge of software engineering best practices (CI/CD, testing, code reviews). 

• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with microservices architecture. 

• Familiarity with event-driven systems or messaging queues (e.g., Kafka, SQS). 

• Knowledge of DevOps tooling and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation). 

• Prior experience in high-growth startups or enterprise-scale applications.
