Full Stack Engineer at Encora Inc.

Job Description

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.
