TEKsystems • Charlotte, NC

4d • $91,700 - $137,500 • Remote

About The Position

The Senior Software Developer is a hands-on technical contributor who designs, builds, deploys, and maintains full-stack applications using React on the front end and Node.js with JavaScript or TypeScript on the back end. The role delivers secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions on AWS, including REST/JSON API design and integration, often using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda, while working with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality user experiences and services.

Senior Developers take ownership across the full software development lifecycle, contribute to architecture and technical decisions, mentor less-senior engineers, and improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence. They apply automated testing, CI/CD, security practices such as authentication, authorization, and least-privilege access, and observability practices such as logging, metrics, and monitoring to keep systems production-ready and maintainable.

This is a permanent, fully remote position based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. The position is anticipated to close on November 17, 2026. The annual pay range is $91,700 to $137,500, with individual compensation based on qualifications, skills, experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other job-related factors. Additional earnings may be available through incentive programs such as annual bonuses or profit sharing.
