About The Position

As a Staff Fullstack Software Engineer at LVT, you will set technical direction for software across the UI and the mission-critical backend services that support it. This is an individual-contributor role with organizational-wide impact, owning architecture end to end—from React components and Next.js server actions to GraphQL federation and real-time edge flows. The role calls for deep engineering judgment, systemic problem-solving across unfamiliar codebases, and a commitment to multiplying the capabilities of senior and mid-level engineers.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional development experience using TypeScript across both client and server.
• Production experience leading substantial architectures in React and Next.js (App Router).
• Deep production expertise designing and operating Node.js backend services; NestJS is preferred.
• Strong command of GraphQL ecosystems, including Apollo Server, schema design, federation, subscriptions, and N+1/DataLoader patterns.
• Experience with relational databases, preferably MySQL, query builders or ORMs such as Knex, database migrations, and scaling WebSocket-based real-time data flows.
• Understanding of modern authentication and authorization patterns, including OAuth/OIDC, JWT, and ABAC/ReBAC models.
• Practical knowledge of Docker, container orchestration, and optimizing fast, trustworthy CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, including the ability to safely navigate, test, and refactor complex legacy software such as older React and Webpack codebases with limited documentation or test coverage.
• Demonstrated technical leadership and strong communication and interpersonal skills to align engineering teams and business stakeholders around multi-quarter technical strategies.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with message brokers such as RabbitMQ.
• Familiarity with IoT/device protocols such as MQTT.
• Familiarity with policy engines such as Cedar or OPA.
• Familiarity with observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Sentry, or Coralogix.
• Familiarity with monorepos and tools such as Turbo or Bun.
• Familiarity with physical security or video streaming platforms.

Responsibilities

• Act as the technical authority across the UI, BFF, GraphQL APIs, and backend data systems; drive architectural decisions across teams, author foundational design documents, and deliver complex core components.
• Trace and resolve systemic issues across service boundaries, including front-end, backend subgraphs, and authorization layers, and serve as the escalation point for cross-layer technical problems.
• Own the health and evolution of the GraphQL federation graph and data contracts, establishing safe schema evolution and migration paths for product teams.
• Define meaningful SLOs, end-to-end tracing, and dashboards; ensure real-time WebSocket and device-control paths degrade gracefully and operate reliably.
• Mentor and coach engineers across frontend and backend disciplines, raise code review standards, lead cross-functional design discussions, and partner with stakeholders on large-scale technical initiatives.
• Identify and resolve organization-wide engineering bottlenecks, improving stack-wide type safety, CI/CD performance, legacy-system deprecation, and on-call developer ergonomics.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health coverage.
• Dental coverage.
• Vision coverage.
• Retirement benefits with a 401(k) match up to 4%.
• Flexible PTO.
