About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Full‑Stack Developer to join a highly skilled engineering team working across multiple projects within the Oscar ecosystem. The team handles both backend and frontend tasks, with a strong emphasis on Python-based services and React-based user interfaces.
The role involves working in a microservices environment, contributing to system reliability, and collaborating closely with engineers across overlapping time zones.
Work Environment
- Low number of scheduled daily meetings (typically 1–2); occasional ad‑hoc calls.
- Highly collaborative engineering culture.
- Opportunity to work on various projects and broaden technical skillsets.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, maintain, and optimize full‑stack solutions using Python and React.
- Work across multiple projects, handling both backend and frontend tickets as needed.
- Participate in building and supporting microservices architecture and gRPC communication flows.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to design scalable, reliable, and secure solutions.
- Investigate and troubleshoot production issues, including database‑related problems during on‑call rotations, especially during on-call duties.
- Utilize monitoring tools (Grafana, Honeycomb, or similar) to detect and diagnose system issues.
- Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and improvements to engineering practices.
- Ensure effective time‑zone overlap with the team (GMT‑3 as primary working schedule).
Requirements:
