What You’ll Do 

NetDocuments is seeking a Staff Full Stack Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our next-generation document management systems. As a senior technical leader, you’ll drive the design, architecture, and delivery of scalable, event-driven platforms that power mission-critical frontend and backend solutions for our global customer base. 

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of backend architecture, cloud-native infrastructure, and full stack development—someone who builds production-ready applications at scale while guiding teams toward technical excellence. You’ll collaborate with product, design, and engineering leadership to define the direction of our systems and integrate cutting-edge technologies, including AI-driven services and event-based data pipelines. 

If you’re passionate about building resilient systems, mentoring engineers, and driving innovation in how organizations manage and interact with their documents, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact. 

You will: 
Technical Leadership & Architecture 

  • Define technical direction for Solstice’s full-stack initiatives, establishing patterns for scalable, secure, and performant systems. 
  • Lead architectural decisions balancing React frontend excellence with robust backend services. 
  • Drive initiatives that improve scalability, performance, reliability, and developer experience. 
  • Guide the evolution of our technology stack as Solstice matures and scales. 
  • Make critical technical decisions that balance user experience, performance, security, and maintainability. 

Design and Build Solstice 

  • Design and implement event-driven architectures using AWS services, Kafka, and modern data pipelines. 
  • Build production-grade applications across the full stack (React/TypeScript, Node.js, C#/.NET, NoSQL databases, AWS). 
  • Create seamless, intuitive frontend experiences that make complex document management feel effortless. 
  • Design and implement scalable APIs (REST, GraphQL) that power our frontend and enable third-party integrations. 
  • Integrate AI-driven services and emerging technologies to enhance document intelligence and user productivity. 
  • Build content enrichment and search capabilities that surface insights from billions of documents. 
  • Ensure security, performance, and compliance considerations are applied across all implementations. 

Problem Solving & Ownership 

  • Solve complex technical challenges from real-time search experiences to event-driven document processing at scale. 
  • Take full ownership of initiatives from concept through production and ongoing evolution. 
  • Make sound architectural decisions by weighing trade-offs with reasoning that stands up over time. 
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt before it impacts the team. 

Build and Optimize Systems 

  • Write high-quality, well-tested code across the full stack with emphasis on maintainability. 
  • Design resilient systems that maintain uptime and performance as we scale globally. 
  • Implement observability through logging, metrics, and telemetry to proactively triage issues. 
  • Monitor and optimize performance at scale, identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions. 
  • Create comprehensive technical documentation including architectural diagrams and design decisions. 

Collaboration & Mentorship 

  • Partner closely with product management and design to translate requirements into technical solutions. 
  • Mentor engineers across experience levels, elevating technical skills and best practices. 
  • Collaborate with Platform Services and other teams on integration points and shared infrastructure. 
  • Build consensus on technical approaches while having authority to make final decisions when needed. 
  • Lead knowledge-sharing initiatives through code reviews, design discussions, and documentation. 

Continuous Learning & Innovation 

  • Stay at the forefront of full-stack development, cloud-native architecture, and AI-powered tools. 
  • Research and prove out new technologies through POCs that align with product strategy. 
  • Contribute ideas that directly improve customer experience and engineering velocity. 

Within Your First 90 Days 

  • Develop a deep understanding of Solstice’s architecture and build strong trust with the team. 
  • Lead your first significant technical initiative, such as search optimization, event pipeline improvement, or frontend component evolution. 
  • Establish yourself as a go-to technical resource. 

Ongoing 

  • Become the recognized technical authority for Solstice, trusted across teams for complex challenges. 
  • Drive measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and developer productivity. 
  • Elevate engineering quality through mentorship, code reviews, and technical leadership. 
  • Deliver architectural decisions that scale effectively with the platform. 

 

This Role Might Not Be Right If... 

  • You’re looking for a purely advisory role—this position requires about 80% hands-on coding. 
  • You prefer to work independently rather than collaboratively. 
  • You’re uncomfortable working in a regulated industry with strict security and compliance requirements. 
  • You prefer stable, mature systems rather than helping build and evolve next-generation platforms. 

 

What You’ll Need to Be Successful 

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field—or equivalent experience. 
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering production-grade applications at scale. 
  • 3+ years in technical leadership roles with demonstrated influence on team direction and engineering practices. 
  • Proven track record of building scalable full-stack applications still in production. 
  • Required Technical Knowledge 
  • Frontend: Deep expertise in React, ES6+, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript ecosystems. 
  • Backend: Strong proficiency in C#/.NET and Node.js. 
  • Architecture: Event-driven and service-oriented architectures, microservices patterns, distributed systems. 
  • Cloud & Data: AWS services (ECS, Lambda, S3), NoSQL databases (DynamoDB/DocumentDB), SQL databases. 
  • APIs: REST and GraphQL design, versioning strategies, and security best practices. 
  • Messaging: Experience with Kafka or similar event streaming platforms. 
  • Observability: Logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and telemetry (we use Datadog). 
  • Quality: Test-driven development, CI/CD practices, and production support. 

What Will Make You Stand Out 

  • Experience building document management, content services, or search-driven applications. 
  • Deep knowledge of event-driven architectures and Kafka. 
  • Track record of building responsive, high-performance React applications at scale. 
  • Legal industry expertise or experience with B2B SaaS in regulated industries. 
  • Experience integrating AI services and emerging technologies into production systems. 
  • Strong design sensibility and collaboration with UX/product teams. 
  • Mobile development experience or cross-platform expertise. 
  • Technical writing, conference speaking, or open source contributions.

  • The People! 
  • 90% healthcare premiums company covered

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
