About the role: Full-Stack Engineer

As a Full-Stack Engineer at Diversio, you will join a team that is setting the industry standard and helping organizations advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. You will collaborate with the engineering and customer success teams to contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of the Diversio and Optimo platforms, ensuring we have a robust, user-friendly, and scalable solution.

We are looking for someone passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion who is excited to use their technical skills to enhance our award-winning product. If you are curious, have a positive attitude, and excel at creative problem-solving, you will be a perfect fit for our team.

What you will do:

• Build small-to-medium features end-to-end: DB → API → UI.
• Implement accessible, responsive React components (semantic HTML, ARIA). Style with your tool of choice (e.g., styled-components, CSS Modules, Tailwind) and our internal design system.
• Add/extend Django REST Framework (DRF) or Django Ninja endpoints; write simple, fast Postgres queries.
• Write unit tests (pytest, Jest/Vitest) and lightweight integration tests.
• Debug with empathy using logs, trace IDs, browser devtools, and minimal repros.
• Collaborate in PRs: clear descriptions, focused diffs, before/after screenshots, and thoughtful self-review notes.

Our Stack:

• Backend: Python, Django, DRF/Django Ninja; Postgres; Redis; background jobs; S3; Sentry.
• Frontend: React + TypeScript; client/server state management; Testing Library with Jest/Vitest.
• Infrastructure: AWS with IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt); CI/CD with automated checks; production monitoring and alerting.

Engineering Highlights:

• Internal Design System: Reusable React component library (Storybook) with accessibility standards for fast, consistent UI.
• IaC & Environments: Reviewable, reproducible infra via Terraform/Terragrunt for safer releases.
• AI-Enabled Workflow: We use AI copilots/LLMs to accelerate routine work. Engineers disclose AI use, validate outputs, and fully understand the code they ship.

Engineering Practices:

• Code Reviews: Every change reviewed; prefer small, focused PRs with clear descriptions and visual diffs for UI.
• Types by Default: TypeScript and Python type hints (mypy) to enable safer refactors.
• Testing: Unit tests where logic lives; light integration tests for critical flows; occasional E2E smoke coverage.
• CI/CD: Automated tests, type checks, linters, and security checks on every PR; trunk-based development; frequent deploys.
• Observability: Structured logs, meaningful error context, Sentry alerts; we investigate regressions with data.
• Security & Privacy: SOC 2 controls; least privilege; secrets management; encryption in transit/at rest; privacy-by-design logging/monitoring.
• Accessibility & UX: Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus management, color contrast.
• Performance: Profile queries, add indexes when needed, cache carefully, move heavy work to background jobs.
• Written-First, Async: Clear specs and concise updates (RFCs/ADRs for notable changes).
• Developer Experience: One-command setup, pre-commit hooks, consistent formatting, docs close to code.

You will have:

• Have 2+ years building web apps (internships/co-ops/personal projects count).
• Are comfortable with TypeScript or Python (ideally both) and eager to deepen the other.
• Can implement accessible, responsive UI from Figma/spec.
• Understand HTTP/REST basics, async flows, client vs. server state.
• Can write basic SQL and reason about query performance (indexes, N+1s).
• Communicate clearly and explain your trade-offs.

You will likely have:*

• TanStack Query (React Query), Redux Toolkit or Redux-Saga.
• Django REST Framework and/or Django Ninja; Django ORM comfort.
• Component libraries or CSS-in-JS experience.
• Testing experience with pytest, Jest/Vitest, and Testing Library.
• Basic AWS concepts (S3, IAM) and Sentry or similar monitoring.
