Lead Digital Full Stack Engineer

Together we fight for everyone’s opportunity for a better financial future.

We will do this together — with customers, partners and colleagues. We will fight for others, not against: We will stand up for and champion everyone’s access to opportunities. The status quo is not good enough … we believe every individual and every community deserves access to financial opportunities. We are determined to support both individuals and communities in reaching a better financial future.  We know that reaching this future depends on our actions today.

Like our Purpose Statement, Voya believes in being bold and committed to action.  We are committed to a work environment where the differences that we are born with — and those we acquire throughout our lives — are understood, valued and intentionally pursued. We believe that our employees own our culture and have a responsibility to foster an environment where we all feel comfortable bringing our whole selves to work. Purposefully bringing our differences together to positively influence our culture, serve our clients and enrich our communities is essential to our vision.

We are seeking a Lead Full Stack Engineer to drive the development of end-to-end technology solutions across web, mobile, and cloud platforms. In this role, you’ll lead architectural decisions, guide a team of engineers, and build high-performance, scalable applications from concept to production.

As a technical leader, you’ll balance hands-on development with mentorship, system design, and cross-functional collaboration. You will work closely with product managers, designers, DevOps engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions in a CI/CD-driven, agile environment.

If you’re passionate about building modern full-stack applications, driving technical excellence, and mentoring teams, this role offers the opportunity to lead while continuing to code.

• Lead the design, development, and maintenance of full-stack applications using technologies such as JavaScript, Python, PySpark, Angular, React, and Node.js.
• Architect and build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces alongside scalable, secure back-end services.
• Develop and optimize RESTful and GraphQL APIs to support both web and mobile applications.
• Own the design and implementation of data models using SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, Snowflake, MongoDB, Teradata).
• Provide technical leadership to other engineers, conducting code reviews, mentoring, and technical deep-dives.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, DevOps, and business stakeholders to deliver end-to-end, business-aligned solutions.
• Champion CI/CD automation, contributing to pipelines using Jenkins, Terraform, and GitHub Actions.
• Drive infrastructure-as-code practices, supporting deployment automation and cloud scalability (Azure preferred).
• Monitor production systems, ensuring high availability, performance, and incident response readiness.
• Apply BDD/TDD methodologies to ensure reliability, maintainability, and test coverage.
• Advocate for simplicity, scalability, and code quality, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term maintainability.
• Engage directly with business stakeholders to clarify requirements, identify opportunities, and deliver impactful technology solutions with minimal overhead.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and trends, and help drive innovation and continuous improvement.

• 7+ years of experience in full stack development, including end-to-end solution delivery.
• 2+ years of experience in a technical leadership role, mentoring other engineers and driving architectural decisions.
• Proficiency in JavaScript, Python, and PySpark, and expertise with modern front-end frameworks such as Angular or React.
• Experience developing and optimizing RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
• Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, Databricks, Snowflake, and Kafka.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with SQL Server or similar relational databases.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Jenkins.
• Expertise in GitHub-based workflows and collaborative development practices.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including architecture, development, testing, deployment, and operations.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and system design skills.
• Strong communication and leadership abilities, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with a focus on simplification, automation, and innovation.

• Experience in financial services, fintech, or other regulated industries.
• Exposure to AI/ML technologies and data-driven application development.
• Background in Computer Science or a related technical field.

• Lead and mentor a collaborative team of full-stack engineers.
• Own architecture and technical direction across the full technology stack.
• Drive product impact and business value, not just code delivery.
