Localize is seeking an energetic, growth-minded Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our US-based remote team. As a Localize engineer, you will be responsible for implementing new functionality within Localize’s core product. On the frontend you will work on our React/Redux single-page application, and on the backend you will build RESTful APIs in Node/Express/MongoDB. As a key member of our remote engineering team, you will lead the development of high-impact product initiatives. We are looking for a strong engineer who works well on a small team and is excited about the opportunity to have a direct impact on improving customer experience.

  • Implement new features and functionality within Localize’s core product.
  • Build frontend features within our React/Redux single-page application.
  • Develop and maintain REST APIs with Node/Express/MongoDB that power the frontend application.
  • Own end-to-end delivery for product initiatives: discovery, technical design, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration.
  • Translate ambiguous problem statements into clear execution plans, including trade-offs, sequencing, and measurable outcomes.
  • Be actively involved in product and architecture decisions.
  • Modernize and evolve an existing codebase: identify and prioritize tech debt, improve patterns and architecture, and deliver incremental upgrades without disrupting customer value.
  • Maintain a high engineering bar: readable code, solid tests, meaningful code reviews, and pragmatic documentation.
  • Collaborate with other remote engineers (including pairing where beneficial) and engage meaningfully in peer code reviews.
  • Diagnose and resolve production bugs throughout the development cycle, including incident response and measurable reliability improvements.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Customer-facing teams to ship the right thing and learn quickly.
  • Improve platform fundamentals (architecture, observability, security, CI/CD, and developer experience).
  • Lead by example: drive alignment, coach others, and take accountability for outcomes.
  • 6+ years of professional experience building, deploying, and maintaining production web applications.
  • Experience building complex single-page applications.
  • Strong frontend skills: modern TypeScript/JavaScript, React, state management patterns, accessibility, and performance.
  • Strong backend skills: Node.js + TypeScript, API design (REST and/or GraphQL), service architecture, and data modeling.
  • Experience writing, maintaining, and integrating REST APIs written in Node/Express.
  • Experience working with MongoDB and an understanding of common patterns and data structures, including schema design, indexing, and query performance.
  • Experience leading large development initiatives requiring collaboration and coordination with fellow engineers.
  • Proven ability to lead autonomously: scoping ambiguous work, writing short design docs, making decisions, and driving execution.
  • Enthusiastic about learning, working within, and architecting high-impact products.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including clear stakeholder alignment and high-quality technical documentation.
  • Experience leading or heavily contributing to platform modernization efforts (framework upgrades, build system improvements, dependency hygiene, improved test/observability coverage).
  • AWS stack awareness (IAM, networking basics, compute/storage primitives, logging/monitoring), plus containers and CI/CD automation.
  • Security-minded engineering (authn/authz, OWASP basics, secrets management, least privilege).
  • Strong understanding of software design principles and common patterns (modular architecture, domain boundaries, testing strategy) and experience improving developer experience.
  • Experience with analytics instrumentation and using metrics to guide iteration.
  • Prior experience mentoring engineers, leading a small team, or acting as tech lead on multi-quarter initiatives.
  • Familiarity with localization/i18n or developer tooling products (helpful but not required).
  • competitive pay
  • a full benefits package
  • a culture with an emphasis on work + life balance
