Job Description

We are seeking a Lead Fullstack Engineer with strong experience in Java, React, and MongoDB to join a Wealth and Investment Management Technology team modernizing a core financial advisor platform. This role is part of a major initiative to overhaul a 25+ year-old legacy system, replacing outdated infrastructure with a modern Spring Boot and microservices-based architecture. The project will streamline account maintenance for financial advisors, reducing legal documentation from 90+ pages to just eight, and significantly improving workflow efficiency.

\n

\nIf you’re excited about building scalable applications, working across both frontend and backend (50 / 50 split), and leading efforts to modernize mission-critical platforms, this is an opportunity to make a large-scale impact. You’ll join a highly collaborative engineering team working in agile ceremonies while spending the majority of time hands-on coding.\nRequired Skills & Experience

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong expertise with Java Spring Boot for backend development
  • Proficiency with React for frontend development
  • Experience working with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases
  • Fullstack development background with a balance of frontend and backend work
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, well-tested code in a collaborative environment
  • Experience working in agile teams (stand-ups, retrospectives, sprint planning)\n

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Familiarity with SQL (Oracle or SQL Server) for cross-team interaction
  • Experience modernizing or rebuilding legacy platforms
  • Background in microservices-based architecture
  • Experience gathering requirements and collaborating with stakeholders across engineering, product, compliance, or risk
  • Leadership experience (mentoring junior engineers, defining technical approaches, guiding design decisions)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to identify work independently\n
  • What You Will Be Doing

  • Designing and maintaining backend services in Go
  • Leading development of fullstack features with Java Spring Boot and React
  • Collaborating with financial advisors, engineers, legal, compliance, and risk teams to define requirements
  • Supporting modernization of a legacy financial advisor platform into a microservices-based application
  • Designing and maintaining backend services, APIs, and data integrations with MongoDB
  • Building user-friendly frontends to simplify workflows and improve efficiency
  • Participating in agile ceremonies while dedicating ~90% of time to coding
  • Contributing to long-term architectural decisions and system scalability\n
  • The Offer\nYou will receive the following benefits :

  • Competitive compensation package
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Hybrid work flexibility with location preference for St. Louis or Charlotte
  • Opportunity to lead within a smaller engineering pod (4–7 engineers) while part of a larger 17-person group
  • Exposure to greenfield modernization work on a high-impact platform\n
  • \n

    \nApplicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis now and in the future.
