NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services,
We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join one of our cross-functional software development teams building the applications and services that support NewGlobe programmes.
As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will take responsibility for significant product and technical capabilities spanning Vue applications, C#/.NET services, APIs, relational data stores, and AWS infrastructure.
You will remain hands-on while solving ambiguous technical problems, making architecture decisions, and helping other engineers deliver reliable software across the full stack.
C#/.NET is our primary backend technology. Python is deliberately selected for specific specialist capabilities where it provides a meaningful advantage.
You will help ensure that technology choices respond to the problem being solved rather than personal preference or fashion.
Our application estate includes both established and modern technologies and architectural patterns.
You will lead its pragmatic evolution, deciding when to improve, modernise, migrate, simplify, or replace existing technology while balancing customer value, delivery needs, operational risk, and long-term ownership costs.
You will use test-driven development and Clean Architecture principles to improve software design, maintainability, and confidence in change.
You will apply these practices with judgement: protecting meaningful boundaries and testability without turning architectural patterns into unnecessary layers or ceremony.
In addition to delivering software directly, you will raise engineering standards, improve reusable practices, and help other engineers become more effective.
You will use AI-assisted and agentic engineering approaches across complex work and help the team identify where they improve delivery, quality, and maintainability—and where conventional engineering approaches remain more appropriate.
What You Will Do
Own the technical design and delivery of significant capabilities spanning Vue applications, C#/.NET services, APIs, integrations, relational data stores, and AWS infrastructure
Remain hands-on across frontend and backend systems while providing technical direction for complex or ambiguous work
Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance customer value, delivery speed, reliability, security, maintainability, scalability, and operational complexity
Evaluate when Python is appropriate for a specialist capability and ensure that introducing it provides sufficient value to justify the additional technology and operational complexity
Design clear system boundaries, APIs, data models, integrations, and asynchronous workflows that support reliable and maintainable operation
Apply and champion test-driven development, helping engineers use tests to improve design and selecting verification approaches appropriate to the system, change, and associated risks
Apply Clean Architecture principles pragmatically and guide the evolution of systems towards clearer responsibilities, controlled dependencies, and independently testable business behaviour
Lead the modernisation of established applications, understanding existing design choices and sequencing improvements, migrations, or replacement according to value, cost, and operational risk
Partner with product managers, designers, engineers, and business stakeholders to shape solutions and make well-reasoned technical and product trade-offs
Diagnose complex production problems across application boundaries and improve the architecture, observability, tooling, and feedback loops that prevent their recurrence
Improve the reliability, performance, security, and operability of systems using AWS, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Azure DevOps, and associated engineering tooling
Evaluate build, buy, and integration options based on implementation effort, operational responsibility, security, adaptability, and total cost of ownership
Write and ship maintainable software while raising the quality of technical design, code reviews, automated testing, continuous delivery, monitoring, and production support
Apply generative AI and agentic engineering tools to complex work, including system exploration, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, and technical investigation, while designing appropriate validation and remaining accountable for the resulting software
Turn effective AI-enabled engineering practices into reusable workflows, guidance, or tooling that improves the effectiveness of other engineers
Mentor engineers through design discussions, code reviews, pairing, technical guidance, and the sharing of engineering practices
Use production behaviour, telemetry, incidents, defects, and user feedback to guide technical priorities and continuously improve our products and engineering practices.
What You Should Have
A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Strong professional experience designing, building, releasing, and operating substantial production software across frontend and backend systems
Deep experience building and evolving backend applications and services using C# and .NET
Experience using Python in production, or sufficient understanding to evaluate and guide its use for appropriate specialist capabilities
Strong experience building modern web applications and the ability to design, deliver, and guide maintainable solutions using Vue
Deep understanding of service design, APIs, distributed-system patterns, asynchronous processing, messaging, reliability, and system integration
Strong experience with relational data modelling, SQL, data-access patterns, and the performance and consistency trade-offs involved in data-intensive applications. Experience with SQL Server or PostgreSQL is expected
Strong practical experience with test-driven development and broader automated-testing strategies, including the judgement to choose verification approaches appropriate to different risks
Experience designing and evolving systems using Clean Architecture principles, with a pragmatic understanding of when additional boundaries and abstractions do or do not provide value
Experience making architectural decisions across significant capabilities or systems rather than only implementing isolated features
Experience modernising established applications and managing technical migrations without unnecessarily disrupting product delivery or production stability
Experience designing and operating cloud-hosted applications using AWS, including observability, performance, resilience, security, and infrastructure concerns
Strong experience with continuous integration and delivery. Experience using Azure DevOps is particularly valuable
Experience diagnosing complex production problems using telemetry, logs, traces, user feedback, and other operational signals
Experience evaluating off-the-shelf and custom-built software and making build, buy, and integration decisions based on more than implementation cost alone
Practical experience using generative AI or agentic engineering tools for substantial software engineering work, together with an understanding of their strengths, failure modes, security implications, and appropriate validation
Evidence of improving the effectiveness of other engineers through mentoring, technical leadership, tooling, reusable patterns, or engineering practices
Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to technical and non-technical colleagues.
