Senior Full Stack Engineer (Python, FastAPI & AI-Assisted Development) – Remote
Job Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (flexibility required for sprint reviews, deployments, and production support)

About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to architect and build a modern tax filing platform from the ground up.

This is more than a software engineering role.

You’ll own the architecture, backend services, frontend experience, and technical direction of a mission‑critical platform where security, accuracy, and reliability are essential.

You’ll leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code to accelerate delivery while maintaining exceptional code quality and engineering standards.

If you’re passionate about building scalable applications, solving complex technical challenges, and taking ownership from architecture through production, this role is a strong fit.

Develop secure backend services using Python and FastAPI.

Build responsive, intuitive frontend interfaces for complex workflows.

Design scalable REST APIs and service architectures.

Integrate frontend and backend systems seamlessly.

System Architecture & Technical Leadership

Own end-to-end application architecture.

Design scalable data models and service boundaries.

Drive technical decisions that improve scalability, maintainability, and reliability.

Identify technical risks and recommend practical solutions.

Build systems designed for long‑term growth and performance.

Backend Development

Develop secure REST APIs using FastAPI.

Build business logic for workflow‑driven applications.

Implement third‑party integrations and external services.

Reduce technical debt through continuous refactoring.

Improve application stability and production reliability.

Security & Data Integrity

Implement robust validation and error handling.

Ensure secure handling of sensitive financial information.

Follow best practices for authentication, authorization, and input validation.

Build highly secure, reliable, and compliant applications.

Documentation & Collaboration

Document architecture decisions and technical implementations.

Collaborate with product, engineering, and stakeholders across distributed teams.

Participate in sprint planning, code reviews, and technical discussions.

Communicate risks, blockers, and recommendations proactively.

What Success Looks Like

High‑quality features delivered on schedule.

Secure, reliable, and scalable application performance.

Strong automated test coverage.

Clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code.
