About The Position

As a Full Stack Engineer, you will build and improve a workflow orchestration platform that helps teams create and manage Airflow workflows through a standardized, specification-driven approach. You will develop and maintain Python-based conversion and DAG-generation capabilities, backend services, and user interfaces for creating, validating, and managing workflow definitions. Working with platform engineers, architects, and application teams, you will help make workflow migration and development scalable, reliable, and easy to use.

The Airflow Platform team is building Fidelity’s enterprise Apache Airflow platform, providing the foundation for running business-critical workflows reliably and at scale. The team develops platform capabilities, automation, security, and operational tooling for enterprise workloads, working with application, infrastructure, security, and production support teams to deliver a secure, resilient, highly automated platform and a strong developer experience.

Fidelity is transitioning to a full-time onsite working model through a phased rollout across regions and roles.
