About YPO

YPO is the global leadership community of chief executives, connecting more than 35,000 members across 142 countries through peer learning, shared experiences, and trusted relationships.

YPO’s digital transformation is creating a modern, connected technology ecosystem bringing together member experiences, data, and AI-powered intelligence.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help build it.

Why This Role Matters

Build across YPO’s layered, AI-first platform.

The Full Stack Engineer builds and owns features across YPO’s layered, AI-first platform from the member-facing React experience through the GraphQL API layer, into the AI-powered intelligence and data services that drive personalized leadership insights for YPO’s global member base.

This is a high-ownership, end-to-end role spanning the experience layer (React, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL), API and orchestration (Apigee, Auth0, Redis, Kafka), the AI-powered Leadership Intelligence layer (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Neo4j, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow), systems of record (Salesforce, PostgreSQL), and DevOps/hosting (AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog): taking features from concept through production release, instrumenting them, and iterating on data.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full feature lifecycle architecture, implementation, code review, QA, deployment, and post-launch monitoring.
• Build responsive React/TypeScript frontends integrated with Optimizely; design Apollo GraphQL schemas and resolvers served through Apigee; build modular Node.js/NestJS backend services using Redis for caching and Kafka for event-driven workflows.
• Design and query PostgreSQL schemas (TypeORM/Prisma); collaborate on Snowflake pipelines and dbt models feeding the Leadership Intelligence layer.
• Integrate OpenAI and Google Gemini APIs for AI-powered discovery, recommendations, and matching; work with Neo4j graph data for relationship-driven insights.
• Use AI-assisted development workflows (pair programming, code generation, test scaffolding) to increase velocity without compromising quality; handle AI feature failures, timeouts, and token costs with a production mindset.
• Partner with product, design, the Lead Security Engineer, and DevOps to ensure features are secure, well-architected, and operationally sound from the start.

Experience / Background

• 5–7 years of professional software engineering experience shipping production-grade products end-to-end.
• Strong TypeScript/React skills (component architecture, state management, hooks, performance).
• Backend experience with Node.js and NestJS building modular, tested services.
• GraphQL experience (schema design, resolvers, subscriptions, Apollo client/server) and familiarity with API gateway patterns (Apigee or equivalent).
• PostgreSQL proficiency (query optimization, schema design, TypeORM/Prisma).
• Experience with Auth0 or equivalent identity platforms.
• Familiarity with Redis and Kafka (or similar) for caching and event-driven/message-queue patterns.

Preferred

• Production experience with OpenAI, Google Gemini, or other LLM APIs (prompt engineering, rate limiting, fallback handling, cost management).
• Strong architectural thinking and clear technical communication; experience with high-autonomy, end-to-end ownership.
• Neo4j or other graph database experience.
• Snowflake/data warehouse experience with dbt or Airflow.
• Optimizely or similar experimentation/feature-management platforms.
• Salesforce integration experience.
• AWS experience (ECS, RDS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch).
• Docker, Kubernetes, or Terraform.
• Testing with Vitest, Jest, or Playwright (unit, integration, e2e).

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
