Full-Stack Engineer

Mackie Search has partnered with a leading IT Firm in the Austin, Texas area to lead a search for their Full Stack Engineer

The Opportunity

• We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join the internal Product Development team and help build and evolve the technology behind our building-intelligence and field-service platform.
• This role works across multiple areas of the application stack — including user-facing web applications, APIs, backend services, databases, integrations, and cloud-hosted applications.
• You'll work closely with our technical and product leadership and collaborate with mobile, data, AI, and external engineering resources.
• We re not looking for someone with an oversized list of technologies on their résumé. We re looking for a capable engineer who understands software fundamentals, learns quickly, works well with others, and wants to take increasing ownership of meaningful product capabilities.

What We re Looking For

• Approximately 3–5 years of relevant software development experience.
• Experience developing and supporting production web applications.
• Experience with a modern frontend framework such as React.
• Ability to develop, consume, and troubleshoot RESTful APIs and backend services.
• Experience with a modern backend programming language or framework;
  Python experience is preferred.
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL or similar relational databases and data modeling.
• Understanding of authentication, application security, and system integrations.
• Familiarity with cloud-hosted infrastructure; GCP experience is preferred, though AWS or Azure experience is applicable.
• Experience with Git-based development and modern deployment practices.
• Understanding software testing, debugging, and production support.
• Ability to navigate an existing codebase and learn unfamiliar technologies.

What You ll Do

• Design, develop, test, and maintain web applications, APIs, and backend services.
• Develop features across multiple areas of the application stack.
• Work with technical and product leadership to translate product requirements into practical software solutions.
• Build and maintain APIs supporting mobile applications, web applications, data services, and external integrations.
• Work with relational databases and data-driven application workflows.
• Support integrations between company and customer or third-party platforms.
• Help modernize existing platform capabilities while maintaining appropriate interoperability with legacy systems.
• Troubleshoot production issues across application, API, database, and cloud layers.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, documentation, deployment, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with Mobile Engineering, Data/AI resources, and external development partners.
• Contribute technical ideas and perspective during product development and roadmap discussions.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools where appropriate to accelerate development, testing, documentation, and problem solving.
• Help build shared technical documentation and institutional knowledge around the company platform.

We re looking for an engineer who:

• Takes ownership of outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
• Can work effectively without every requirement being completely defined.
• Seeks to understand the business problem before immediately jumping into code.
• Is comfortable moving between frontend, backend, database, and integration challenges.
• Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical team members.
• Raises questions and risks early rather than waiting until they become problems.
• Makes practical technical decisions without unnecessarily over engineering solutions.
• Learns new technologies and systems quickly.
• Accepts accountability for the quality of their work.
• Collaborates well with internal engineers and external development partners.
• Wants to continue developing technically while taking increasing ownership of the platform.
