LoVasco helps organizations deliver exceptional benefits and retirement programs to the people they employ, while also stewarding the financial well‑being of individuals in and out of the workplace. We engage clients who genuinely prioritize their employees, and we give them the tools, education, and programs that help their people achieve financial security for themselves and their families. That’s our "why," and it’s what motivates us.

Engineering at LoVasco was born out of a simple desire: to solve our own problems. A business like ours can string together a dozen flexible, off‑the‑shelf tools to deliver its services—and for a long time, that’s exactly what we did. A stack of subscriptions, a web of workarounds, software that "does everything" but nothing quite the way we want it.

We believe in purpose‑built software. Opinionated design. Polished, thoughtful workflows that bring clarity to our teams, elevate what we’re capable of, are a joy to use, and are genuinely powerful. At the end of the day, our goal is to deliver the best possible experience to our clients—and we believe that owning the software we use to deliver our services, and that our clients and their participants use to interact with us, is the best way to do it.

What we’re building is a platform that serves as an “operating system” for our consulting business. For our teams, it’s where we manage and make sense of our data, sharpen the insights we deliver, and automate the "work around work" so our people can focus on how best to serve our clients. For our clients, it’s a centralized place to engage with those insights, own their data, and measure the impact of their programs.

For participants, it’s an education experience and a set of tools that feel tailored to them, are genuinely useful, and help them get the most out of their benefits.

We build with React and Next.js on the frontend, NestJS for our API, Prisma as our ORM, and PostgreSQL for our database, all hosted on AWS. We manage nearly all of our infrastructure with Terraform, and Dev Ops and CI/CD are first‑class parts of how we work.

Experience with this exact stack is welcome, but it isn’t a requirement. A strong foundation in modern web frameworks and databases, and the discipline to ship and operate software well, matters far more than any single tool—we can teach the specifics. What we’re looking for is genuine technical competence and an people who love their craft.

We’re looking for full‑stack engineers. You’ll work across the entire stack, designing, building, and maintaining features end‑to‑end—from the database to the interface—and help own the infrastructure and deployment pipelines that keep our platform reliable.

Because projects here begin with open questions rather than finished specifications, you’ll help shape what we build: translating user feedback into the right work, scoping projects, writing RFCs, documenting decisions, and taking part in our planning cycles.

The five key responsibilities for this role are:

• Migrating a core consulting team onto our platform: modeling their data, rebuilding the workflows they rely on off their patchwork of legacy SaaS tools.
• Building the CRM‑style interfaces our teams live in every day: the data entry, organization, and record‑keeping tools that keep client information accurate and usable.
• Turning dense benefits and retirement data into clear, comparative reporting: client‑ and participant‑facing views that make complex programs easy to understand and act on.
• Contributing to our REST API: implementing business logic that is well‑tested, performant, and built to last.
• Standing up and hardening our infrastructure:
  Terraform‑managed AWS, deployment pipelines, database strategy, and the security practices that keep sensitive client data safe.

• A full‑stack engineer with 1-3 years of experience. You may specialize, but if backend work doesn’t resonate with you or you would rather not touch design on the frontend, this is not the right fit. We want engineers who love the whole stack.
• Design‑minded.…
