Full Stack Developer
Spinnaker Search
Exton, PA
We have been exclusively engaged by a long-standing client to help them hire a Full Stack Software Developer to join their team.
This is not your typical full-stack role where you’re buried in tickets and incremental updates. This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact engineering role within a company that has quietly dominated a niche market for decades, and is now making a serious investment in modernizing how its technology operates behind the scenes.
They are rethinking how data moves through the business, replacing legacy systems with modern, event-driven architecture, and building scalable services that will shape the next phase of the company’s growth.
They are looking for a full-stack developer who can do more than just code. Someone who can take ownership, think at a systems level, and actually drive solutions forward.
This is a direct hire position, based in Exton, PA, with a hybrid schedule (3 days onsite).
The Role You’ll Play
This role sits at the center of a major modernization effort. You will not just be maintaining systems, you will be helping redesign them. You will work on initiatives like rebuilding core data pipelines, breaking apart legacy systems into scalable services, and helping shift the organization toward an event-driven architecture.
This is the kind of role where you are trusted to take something, run with it, and bring it across the finish line.
What you will be doing:
Build and enhance full stack applications that support critical internal operations
Design and develop RESTful APIs and backend services
Help modernize legacy systems into scalable, event-driven architectures
Work with technologies like Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud-based tools in Azure
Develop front-end components using modern JavaScript frameworks
Work directly with data pipelines, integrations, and transformation processes
Collaborate with a small team of engineers, architects, and stakeholders
Troubleshoot and resolve real production issues that directly impact the business
Contribute to clean code practices, testing, and CI/CD pipelines
This is not a role where work disappears into a backlog. You will see what you build being used, quickly.
Background Profile
They are looking for someone who can operate with confidence and independence. Someone who understands how systems fit together, not just how to complete a task. The ideal candidate is someone who can take a problem, ask the right questions, and deliver a solution without needing constant direction.
What you bring:
5 to 8+ years of experience in full stack development
Strong experience with Java OR Node.js with TypeScript/JavaScript
Experience building and consuming REST APIs
Front-end experience with frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue
Strong SQL and database experience
Experience working in Agile environments
Familiarity with CI/CD and version control (Git)
Ability to think beyond implementation and understand system-level impact
What will make you stand out:
Experience modernizing legacy systems
Exposure to event-driven architecture
Experience with Azure tools such as Event Hubs or Data Factory
Experience with ETL, integrations, or data pipelines
Any familiarity with music or sheet music (rare, but valuable here)
