Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (React, Node.js, AWS) – Remote | Product & Infrastructure

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (flexibility for deployments, sprint planning, and on-call coverage)

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to build, scale, and maintain modern web applications and the infrastructure behind them.

This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role where you’ll own features end-to-end — from front-end interfaces and APIs to deployments, scalability, and infrastructure reliability.

You’ll work across:

• Front-end development
• Back-end systems
• Cloud infrastructure
• CI/CD pipelines
• Performance optimization
• Technical architecture

If you enjoy shipping production-ready features, solving complex engineering problems, and building scalable systems, this role is built for you.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Participate in standups and sprint planning
• Build front-end and back-end features
• Design APIs and optimize database performance
• Review pull requests and mentor engineers
• Monitor deployments and troubleshoot production issues
• Collaborate with product and design teams on new features
• Improve infrastructure reliability and scalability

In short: you build and maintain scalable applications while helping engineering teams ship high-quality software efficiently.
