Senior Full-Stack Developer – React / Python

Our client is a leader in green energy customer technology solutions. They are looking for an experienced Full-Stack Developer with strong React and Python expertise to help design and build new user-facing application features and enhance existing web applications.

This role is primarily focused on front-end development with React, but strong backend proficiency with Python is essential. The ideal candidate can take a design or documented set of requirements, independently determine the technical approach, and implement the changes across the front end and backend as needed.

You will work closely with the Professional Services and engineering teams to turn designs and business requirements into polished, production-ready functionality. This includes building new UI features in React, developing the Python APIs and backend services required to support those features, integrating with existing systems, and making changes to legacy applications.

What You'll Do

Build and enhance modern, user-facing web applications using React
Translate designs, wireframes, and documented requirements into high-quality, responsive UI features
Independently take a feature from design and requirements through development, integration, testing, and deployment
Develop and integrate backend services and APIs using Python
Build and consume RESTful APIs to connect front-end applications with backend systems
Determine what front-end and backend changes are required to implement new functionality
Work with existing application architecture and legacy code to safely introduce new features and improvements
Troubleshoot issues across the full technology stack
Collaborate with designers, engineers, and other stakeholders while maintaining ownership of assigned features
Write clean, maintainable, production-ready code
Contribute to improving development processes, automation, and application architecture

Core Requirements

Strong professional experience building modern web applications with React
Strong understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern front-end development practices
Proven ability to take UI designs and independently turn them into fully functional application features
Strong backend development experience with Python 3.x
Experience developing or working with Python-based APIs and services, preferably FastAPI or a similar framework
Experience building, integrating, and consuming RESTful APIs
Understanding of how front-end applications interact with backend services, databases, and external systems
Ability to independently evaluate requirements and determine the full-stack changes necessary to deliver a feature
Experience working with relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL
Experience working with existing or legacy web applications
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and take ownership of development work from beginning to end
Strong communication and collaboration skills

Additional Relevant Experience

The following experience is valuable but not required:

FastAPI or other modern Python frameworks
Cloud development, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Databricks and modern data workflows
Kafka or other publish/subscribe messaging platforms
Data pipelines and system integrations
SFTP integrations within a cloud environment
Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform or CloudFormation
CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices
Serverless architecture, preferably Google Cloud Functions
Linux command-line experience
Git and modern source-control workflows
Experience modernizing or migrating legacy applications

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a senior, hands-on full-stack engineer who is particularly strong on the front end.

The ideal candidate is someone who can receive a design, understand the underlying business requirements, and independently turn that design into a working product. They should be highly proficient with React and comfortable building polished, maintainable user interfaces, while also having enough Python/backend expertise to develop or modify the APIs and services necessary to support those interfaces.

This is not a role where the developer will simply be handed individual tickets with detailed instructions. We need someone who can own a feature from concept through implementation, identify what needs to change across the stack, make sound technical decisions, and deliver the finished functionality with minimal oversight.

React/front-end expertise is the most important technical requirement. Python/backend proficiency is the second critical skill. Experience with the broader data, cloud, and infrastructure technologies is helpful, but candidates do not need to be experts in every technology listed above.
