Job Summary
The Full Stack Developer is responsible for designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software applications across all layers of the technology stack, including front-end user interfaces, back-end services and APIs, and database systems. This role operates within Populus Financial Group’s IT Application Service Management organization and supports a complex environment that includes point-of-sale (POS) systems, IBM i (AS/400) back-end processing, and store-level operations across hundreds of retail locations.

This position requires strong full stack development skills along with practical experience in POS infrastructure, store data retrieval, and IBM i environments, enabling immediate contribution to both new application development and ongoing operational support needs.

Major Responsibilities

Build and maintain RESTful APIs and back-end services that integrate with POS systems, IBM i (AS/400) DB2 data sources, and third-party platforms (Money Gram, Ingenico, Panini, bill pay providers).
Develop and maintain front-end user interfaces using modern frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js); collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into functional, user-friendly screens.
Perform store-level incident investigation and production troubleshooting, including pulling POS transaction logs, reconstructing transaction sequences, comparing store configurations, and isolating root causes.
Execute SQL-based data extractions against IBM i DB2 (ACEDATA tables) and Microsoft SQL Server to support production troubleshooting, reporting, audits, and ad hoc analytical requests.
Analyze and validate store-level deployment configurations; detect missed deployments, configuration discrepancies, and DLL mismatches using Win Merge and configuration file comparison techniques.
Retrieve and deliver store artifacts including check images, receipts, and transaction records from POS store drives (via UNC path) and IBM i IFS, supporting compliance, audit, and evidence collection requests.
Manage and maintain scheduled tasks and applications on the jump server; coordinate application deployments and service account transitions with Dev Ops.
Participate in code reviews, maintain version control discipline using Git and/or TFS, and contribute to CI/CD pipeline development and deployment processes.
Collaborate with cross-functional IT teams (Dev Ops, Loans, Cards, Bill Pay, Sales Audit, Banking) for issue escalation, feature delivery, and knowledge sharing.
Maintain and synchronize project files, SQL reference queries, troubleshooting guides, and technical documentation to shared drives for team access.
Strong analytical skills for diagnosing complex issues across POS, IBM i, and web application layers; comfortable working through ambiguous problems to resolution.
Effectively document technical processes, communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and share knowledge across teams.
Ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks independently and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
