The Full Stack Developer in this role will design, build and operate web applications and services end to end, from the user interface to the backend and the cloud infrastructure they run on. You will work closely with design, data engineering, product and cloud teams to understand business needs, break them down into concrete technical specifications and deliver high-quality software. As a Full Stack Developer at IBM Quantum, you will design, develop, deploy, and support end-to-end web applications and services. Working closely with product, design, data engineering, and cloud teams, you will translate business requirements into secure, scalable, and production-ready solutions across the frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure. Key responsibilities include: Building and maintaining web applications, APIs, and microservices. Developing and operating cloud-native, containerized solutions. Implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and software quality practices. Ensuring application security, reliability, and performance. Collaborating across teams to deliver business solutions and drive continuous improvement. Supporting application operations, cloud modernization, and DevSecOps initiatives. Analyze complex, distributed architectures and break business requirements down into clear technical specifications, user stories and acceptance criteria. Design, build, and maintain web applications using React and TypeScript, with hands-on experience in Next.js (server-side rendering, API routes, middleware). Develop and operate REST APIs and microservices in Python using FastAPI or similar frameworks, including data validation with Pydantic. Build containerized applications with Docker, and deploy and operate them on Kubernetes (deployments, services, ingress/routes, ConfigMaps, Secrets, liveness and readiness probes, scaling). Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated builds, tests and promotion across test, pre-production and production environments. Apply web security and authentication concepts, including OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, SSO, API gateways, reverse proxies, API keys and secrets management. Write efficient SQL queries against relational databases such as PostgreSQL. Write automated tests using Jest, React Testing Library and pytest, and maintain code quality through linting, formatting and static type checking. Collaborate with design, data engineering, product and SRE teams to translate requirements into robust, production-ready solutions. Use Git-based version control, contribute via code reviews, and follow industry-standard software engineering best practices. Communicate effectively in English, both written and spoken, within a distributed, international team. Experience with IBM Cloud services such as IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, Red Hat OpenShift, Code Engine, Container Registry, Secrets Manager and Cloud Object Storage. Experience migrating applications to the cloud and managing infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Helm). Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3.js and Three.js/WebGL. Familiarity with Carbon Design System, Tailwind CSS and schema validation with Zod. Exposure to DevSecOps practices and tooling, such as Tekton / IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery, secret detection and dependency vulnerability scanning. Experience building applications that run offline or are distributed as self-contained builds. Experience with end-to-end testing using Playwright, and with Bash scripting. Experience with Python data tooling (e.g., pandas, SQLAlchemy, APScheduler) and scheduled data collection. Interest in or exposure to quantum computing; familiarity with Qiskit is a plus.
