[Remote] Senior Software Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Aegon is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and support modern web applications using TypeScript, React, and a Node.js API tier deployed on cloud platforms. The role involves providing hands-on technical leadership across the full software development lifecycle while collaborating with product owners, designers, and engineers to deliver secure and scalable solutions.
Responsibilities
- Work collaboratively with product owners, designers, and engineers (including contract and offshore developers) in an agile environment to deliver business outcomes
- Build and support React + TypeScript user experiences and integrate them with enterprise services through a Node.js API tier and RESTful APIs
- Design, implement, test, and document solutions using modern front‑end patterns (component architecture, state management, accessibility) and API best practices (schema-first contracts, versioning, observability)
- Perform design and analysis for deliverables; lead larger team design sessions and contribute to system‑level architecture decisions across front end, API, and cloud infrastructure
- Serve as a subject matter expert for the TypeScript/React + Node.js stack and mentor engineers on coding standards, testing strategy, and maintainable architecture
- Recommend solutions that balance cost, business needs, performance, security, and platform impacts, including cloud and serverless design considerations
- Utilize third‑party frameworks, open‑source libraries, and APIs to accelerate delivery and improve reliability of both UI and API implementations
- Apply AI‑assisted engineering (e.g., AI copilots/IDEs) to speed up development tasks such as scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and code review support—while ensuring human validation, security, and adherence to engineering standards
- Stay current on front‑end and Node ecosystem advances and rapidly learn new tools, frameworks, and cloud capabilities to support the environment and deliverables
- Assist with technical presentations and lead development meetings as needed
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or related technical discipline) or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong hands‑on development in TypeScript
- Strong proficiency with React and modern front‑end engineering practices (component design, hooks, state management patterns, performance optimization, and testing)
- Experience building and operating a Node.js API tier (RESTful services, integration patterns, authentication/authorization, and API documentation such as OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Knowledge of database concepts and data modeling (relational and/or NoSQL) and how to design data access patterns that support scalable APIs
- Working understanding of cloud services (AWS and/or Azure) and common supporting tools used to deploy, monitor, and operate modern applications
- Experience with build, test, and deployment tooling and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, source control, automated testing)
- Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes/OpenShift) and/or serverless patterns depending on platform needs
- Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and technical communication; able to prioritize work to meet tight deadlines
- Practical experience with AI‑assisted development workflows (e.g., using AI tools for spec-driven development, code generation, test creation, and “docs as code”), with an emphasis on safe usage, review discipline, and measurable productivity improvements
- Experience with real-time or event-driven patterns (WebSockets, streaming, messaging) and modern integration architectures
- Cloud or platform certifications (AWS / Microsoft)
- Experience in financial services or regulated environments, including security and compliance considerations in UI/API delivery
