Chicago, IL, United States 1872 Consulting Full time
Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer - AI Team (.NET, ReactJS, NextJS, Azure)
Chicago, IL - hybrid WFH: 3 days onsite in the loop, 2 days work from home

Summary:
The Lead Full-Stack Engineer will report to the Director of Software Engineering, and be leading a team of back-end and front-end engineers, in a Microsoft environment, building applications with .NET, C#, ReactJS, NextJS in a cloud-native Azure environment.

This role will focus on building applications for the AI team, and your key stakeholders will be the Chief Data Officer, Director of AI and Director of Software Engineering - in addition to the peers on your team: AI Engineers, Front-End Developers, and soon to be back-end developers.

You will lead a team of engineers which currently consist of only Front-End Engineers and AI Engineers, but will bring on another back-end engineer or two likely.

While we are looking for someone with a full-stack skill set, if we had to pick, we'd prefer this person to lean more back-end with strong .NET, C# experience in an Azure environment given we already have strong front-end developers on the team, and are lacking senior back-end talent currently.

The team you will be leading will not report to you to be celar. But you will be conducting code reviews, leading design and architecture, mentoring less experience developers, but still doing hands on development yourself.

What you'll be doing
  • Architect, develop, and maintain scalable full-stack applications using .NET, Python, React/Next.js on Azure.
  • Lead technical decision-making, providing expertise on best practices, architecture, and modern software development methodologies.
  • Conduct code reviews, ensuring high code quality, security, and performance optimization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers and designers, to define, design, and ship new features.
  • Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of growth and technical excellence.
  • Monitor and improve application performance, optimizing database queries, front-end rendering, and API interactions.
  • Ensure security best practices in web applications, including authentication, authorization, and data protection.
  • Work with DevOps teams to implement CI/CD pipelines and automate deployments on Azure.
  • Stay up to date with emerging technologies and advocate for their adoption where appropriate.

Skills we're seeking
  • 7+ years of experience with Software Engineering
  • 5+ recent years of experience with .NET C# Development
  • Strong recent experience with cloud-native experience in Azure
  • Strong experience with Azure SQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL or NoSQL databases
  • At least some experience with JavaScript engineering, ideally with React or Next
  • Experience leading teams of software engineers
  • Strong experience in code reviews, software design patterns, and scalable application architecture.
  • Proficiency in RESTful APIs and microservices architectures.
Nice to haves
  • Experience with AI/ML/Data Science
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps) on Azure
  • Experience working in professional services environments
  • Experience building applications that serve a global user base
  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science or an IT related field
