Full Stack Software Engineer – Communications Team

The Role

We are seeking one seasoned Full Stack Software Engineer with a bias for action to join our high-impact Communications Team. In this role you’ll play a critical part in helping improve all facets of how we communicate with our customers.

You’re a well-rounded Senior Engineer, whose strengths clearly lean toward the front end—expect roughly 80% UI, 20% backend. Those with strong portfolios showcasing a range of front-end projects on GitHub, or similar platforms is highly desirable. You bring solid project experience, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative mindset to drive real impact. You've fully embraced modern best practices, including AI tools, and you're adept at integrating them into your day-to-day engineering work. Come do more of what you love and less of what you don’t with Neilson Financial Services.

From email to documents and various welcome packages the Communications team gathers data, aggregates, blends and populates the templates necessary to generate all final output documents specific to each individual policyholder.

Why Join?

We’re a Microsoft Shop so it goes without saying our tech stack includes .NET/C# and MSSQL all running on Azure cloud. Being frontend focused, you’ll work primarily with technologies like Vue.js, React, and Angular to build modern, performant user interfaces. Working with our design teams you’ll create seamless, responsive UIs and integrate with backend services delivering a cohesive experience. If you’re passionate about clean, scalable UI code and delivering top-notch user experiences, we’d love to have you on our team.

Under the guidance of our visionary CTO, Neilson’s Engineering Organization has embraced the Minimum Viable Bureaucracy model to eliminate impediments and blockers. This is the perfect home for both startup junkies AND Senior Engineers on an IC track who are fed up with the headaches associated with boring enterprise organizations! Neilson Financial Services is right-sized, highly profitable, and positioned for explosive hypergrowth.
