Senior Full Stack Engineer at Fueled

About Us: Fueled

Fueled is a leading digital strategy, design, and engineering agency comprised of a 300+ person team. We have successfully designed and built hundreds of digital products and experiences for renowned brands such as Google, Apple, The New York Times, ESPN, Victoria’s Secret, MGM Resorts, Albertsons, and CLEAR. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Fueled, you will be responsible for architecting, building, and scaling high-performance web applications, from the database layer to the browser. You will own end-to-end solutions across the entire stack, designing API contracts and data models using TypeScript, and developing performant frontends with React and Next.js. Your work will ensure every layer functions cohesively to deliver premium user experiences. Type safety is integral to your work across both frontend and backend, providing the confidence to evolve complex, business-oriented systems without fear. You will model both relational and non-relational data, craft pixel-perfect, accessible interfaces that perform under real-world conditions, and implement effective caching strategies at the edge. Whether you’re optimizing a database query, shaping a REST API, or fine-tuning a front-end bundle, you will move fluently across the entire stack. Your contributions will transform ambitious ideas into maintainable, future-ready systems that adapt to client needs, raise the bar for quality and performance, and consistently drive measurable outcomes.

Depending on your experience and project alignment, your work may lean more heavily into either Fueled’s Content Solutions or Digital Product practice. On the Content Solutions side, you may focus on headless CMS architecture, enterprise publishing platforms, performance optimization, design systems, accessibility, and SEO-focused front-end experiences. Within Digital Product, your work may center around complex web applications, stateful front-end systems, API and backend architecture, real-time functionality, and end-to-end product feature development across web and mobile ecosystems. Regardless of focus area, engineers at Fueled are expected to move fluidly across the stack and contribute to thoughtful, scalable user experiences.

Our team is intentionally remote and globally distributed across six continents, thriving in a culture that values flexibility, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. Together, we are shaping the future of digital experiences.

What You Will Do

• Own the end-to-end delivery of key product features, from initial concept through deployment and beyond. You will be a crucial voice in shaping the technical approach, making critical architectural decisions, and ensuring that our deliverables are robust, scalable, and maintainable.
• Architect and build dynamic web experiences that meet the demands of real users and editorial teams, making optimal technical decisions at every layer of the stack.
• Elevate the team’s velocity and craftsmanship by introducing and socializing tools and practices that raise the technical bar. You are expected to proactively identify bottlenecks in areas such as build processes, state management, content modeling, or elsewhere, and implement solutions that enhance overall team effectiveness.
• Bridge the gap between ambitious creative vision and technical reality, demonstrating that high-quality user experience and developer experience are not mutually exclusive. You will collaborate directly with designers and strategists to challenge assumptions, explore possibilities, and build solutions that are as elegant under the hood as they are for the end-user.

What You Will Achieve

• From Day 1: You will ship a tangible feature for a live client project, immediately building momentum.
• Within 6 months: You will own and deliver a key feature end-to-end and improve a core performance metric by at least 10%.
• You will enhance team efficiency by creating a reusable component or process that is adopted by your peers.
• By 12 months: You will have spearheaded a significant project phase from concept to launch, delivered on time and to a high standard.
• Your expertise will become a multiplier, evidenced by positive client or team feedback on your ability to solve complex challenges.

About You (Requirements)

• You possess a systems and components-first mindset, not just a page-centric view. You derive genuine satisfaction from designing a React architecture or a data schema that is both intuitive for users and highly performant.
• You are a proactive problem-solver who doesn’t rely on perfect requirements. You thrive on navigating ambiguity, asking "why," and prototyping solutions to complex challenges, whether they involve headless architecture, microservices, or data flow.
• You view the "full stack" as a single, interconnected challenge. You are comfortable crafting a polished, dynamic frontend with Next.js (not in list) and then delving into backend logic, API routes, caching strategies, or CMS configuration to make it all possible.
• You are a natural collaborator and translator, capable of explaining technical constraints to designers and strategic goals to engineers, ensuring the entire multidisciplinary team builds momentum together.
