Overview
Inabia is seeking a Full Stack Software Development Engineer for a 12-month onsite contract engagement in Redmond, WA. This is a hands-on build role focused on distributed, cloud-native systems spanning backend services, data systems, and cloud infrastructure. The ideal candidate takes ownership of ambiguous problems and delivers concrete, scalable technical solutions in a fast-moving, agile environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and ship scalable, fault-tolerant backend services and APIs
- Build and maintain distributed storage, indexing, and query systems optimized for reliability, cost, and performance
- Take loosely-defined, ambiguous problems and translate them into concrete technical solutions with clear implementation plans
- Work across the full stack — backend, data layer, and cloud infrastructure — as the work demands
- Collaborate with a cross-functional engineering team through sprint planning, code reviews, and retrospectives
- Ship working software on short, iterative development cycles
Key Qualifications
- US Citizen or Green Card holder; no visa sponsorship available (C2C, H-1B transfer, OPT/CPT, TN, and third-party visa arrangements not accepted)
- 4+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- Proficiency in at least one of: Java, Python, Go, or SQL
- Hands-on, production experience with AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFormation)
- Ability to work onsite in Redmond, WA, 5 days per week for the full 12-month contract duration
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and operating distributed, multi-tiered systems with relational and/or NoSQL databases at scale
- Exposure to optimization techniques such as linear or nonlinear programming
- Strong ability to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity — defining solutions from broadly-scoped requirements rather than executing detailed specifications
