Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Description:
This is an onsite role based in Durham, North Carolina.

Our client seeks a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to prototype and deliver tools that accelerate the software development lifecycle, including solutions leveraging generative AI. You will build and evaluate code analysis capabilities using Python, Type Script with Node.js and Angular, graph databases, and SQL while operating within modern Agile and cloud environments.

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join an innovation and R&D team within the financial services industry. This team is focused on exploring how emerging technologies-particularly Generative AI-can accelerate and modernize the software development lifecycle.

In this role, you'll help design and build prototype tools that analyze existing codebases, uncover opportunities for modernization, and enable faster, smarter software delivery. A major focus of the work is a Python-based code analysis tool that leverages generative AI to understand current systems (including legacy technologies like COBOL) and support enhancement and modernization efforts-even for non-technical stakeholders.

The role contributes to proofs of concept and production-ready utilities that improve development, testing, and delivery outcomes for engineering teams. This is a one-year contract based in Durham, North Carolina.

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
