Full Job Description

Principal Full Stack Engineer (Backend Focus)
Detroit, MI (Hybrid – 3 Days Onsite)
Contract-to-Hire

We are seeking a Principal Full Stack Engineer to provide technical leadership for a large-scale, high-volume enterprise platform undergoing significant modernization and cloud transformation efforts.

This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, mentoring developers, and driving modernization initiatives across backend services, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure. While this is a full stack position, the primary focus is on backend architecture, integrations, and platform scalability.

What You'll Do

Serve as the technical leader and subject matter expert across multiple engineering teams.
Drive modernization efforts across Java services, APIs, databases, messaging platforms, and cloud infrastructure.
Lead design and implementation of scalable microservices and enterprise integration solutions.
Partner with engineering teams to improve platform resiliency, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Define and promote engineering best practices, coding standards, and architectural patterns.
Mentor engineers through technical leadership, design reviews, and hands-on collaboration.
Help guide the organization's migration from on-prem/containerized environments to AWS cloud solutions.
Collaborate with Product, Architecture, Security, and Engineering stakeholders to solve complex business and technical challenges.

Required Qualifications

10+ years of software engineering experience with increasing technical leadership responsibilities.
Strong hands-on experience with Java and modern backend development frameworks.
Experience designing and building microservices-based applications.
Strong experience with RESTful API design, development, and integration.
Deep understanding of SQL and enterprise database technologies, including Oracle.
Experience working with messaging and event-driven architectures (Kafka or similar technologies).
Proven ability to lead technical initiatives across multiple teams without direct people management responsibility.
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction and mentor engineers.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with AWS cloud technologies and cloud migration initiatives.
Experience with OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker, or containerized environments.
Familiarity with identity and access management solutions such as Okta.
Exposure to Angular and/or React applications.
Experience working in large-scale, high-availability enterprise environments.
Experience with multi-tenant or white-label application architectures.
