Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer (VMP)

Overview: We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to help build and scale the Vendor Marketplace Platform (VMP) a multi-service system that powers vendor onboarding, credentialing, deduplication, bidding, contracts, and payments across RealPage's property-management ecosystem. You will work across a distributed architecture of Laravel (PHP) microservices, an Angular single-page application, and an Nginx API gateway, all deployed on Docker Swarm with Kafka-based cross-service messaging. This is a hands-on senior role: you'll own features end to end, uphold architectural standards, mentor engineers, and contribute to platform-wide technical decisions. Responsibilities: 7+ years of professional software engineering experience building and maintaining production web applications. Strong backend expertise in PHP 8.x and Laravel 10 (or comparable modern PHP framework): service layers, repositories, middleware, queues, events/listeners, migrations. Strong frontend expertise in Angular 16 with TypeScript, RxJS, and reactive/component-driven architecture. State management experience with NgRx (Store, Effects, Entity) or equivalent (Redux, NGXS). Relational databases solid PostgreSQL (or MySQL) skills: schema design, query optimization, transactions, migrations. RESTful API design experience building well-structured APIs; familiarity with the JSON:API specification is a strong plus. Containerization hands-on Docker (multi-stage builds, Docker Compose) for local and deployed environments. Version control & CI/CD Git, pull-request workflows, and pipeline-based delivery (Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar). Automated testing PHPUnit and Jasmine/Karma (or Jest); a habit of writing unit and integration tests. Authentication & security OAuth2 / OpenID Connect, token-based auth, and secure API practices. Qualifications: Design, build, and maintain features end to end across the API services, Angular frontend, and supporting infrastructure. Uphold architectural invariants: clean separation of controllers, validators, services, and repositories; consistent JSON:API responses; event-driven workflows. Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code; participate in code reviews and enforce quality gates. Design and evolve PostgreSQL schemas and data-migration strategies for large datasets. Build and consume event-driven, Kafka-based integrations between services. Troubleshoot and optimize performance across the stack (API latency, query tuning, frontend bundle size). Collaborate with product, QA, and DevOps to deliver reliably through CI/CD pipelines. Mentor mid-level and junior engineers; contribute to technical standards and design discussions. Soft Skills Strong problem-solving and system-design thinking across a distributed architecture. Clear written and verbal communication; able to document and explain complex flows. Ownership mindset comfortable driving features from ambiguity to production. Collaborative and pragmatic in an Agile / cross-functional team.
