Cruise Control Group is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of robust, scalable, and secure web applications across the stack — front-end and back-end — that support the client's operations and growth.

About Cruise Control Group

Cruise Control Group is an Australian offshore staffing company that partners with a range of clients to build high-performing remote teams. We manage the end-to-end recruitment and support process, connecting skilled professionals with roles that offer genuine long-term career growth.

About the Client

The company is a vehicle subscription and fleet management provider, giving customers flexible access to vehicles without the commitments of traditional ownership or leasing.

About the Role

The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer takes ownership of the design, development, and maintenance of the client's digital platforms that power dealership and fleet operations. Working closely with product owners and engineering leadership, this role drives technical decisions, sets engineering standards, and mentors other developers while remaining hands-on across both front-end and back-end development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code across the stack (frontend, backend, databases), championing an AI-first development approach.
• Lead the technical design and architecture of new features and systems, making sound decisions on scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Own features end to end across the software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design through development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Collaborate with product owners, designers, and stakeholders to shape requirements and deliver high-quality features on time.
• Lead code reviews and define and uphold architectural patterns, coding standards, and engineering best practices.
• Drive the performance, quality, reliability, and responsiveness of applications, proactively identifying and resolving bottlenecks.
• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests, and work closely with QA to shape test strategy, test plans, and automation coverage.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues, carrying out root-cause analysis and implementing lasting fixes.
• Lead the integration of third-party APIs and services.
• Ensure data security and privacy standards are built into all technical solutions.
• Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices (AWS or GCP).
• Maintain clear documentation of systems, architecture, workflows, and code changes.
• Play an active role in sprint planning, estimation, ceremonies, and retrospectives.
• Communicate technical concepts, trade-offs, and risks clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor and guide junior and mid-level developers, supporting their technical growth and raising the overall capability of the team.
