From the original posting
Role
Northwood's engineers and operators need tools that don't exist off the shelf: release dashboards, build health views, pipeline orchestration, fleet and version visibility across a global ground station network. We're looking for a Full Stack Developer to build them. You will own internal tools end to end, from the API and data layer to the UI, and ship them to an internal customer base of platform, software, hardware, and operations engineers. You'll work within the standards set by the Development lead and partner with Platform Delivery to develop deployment and onboarding workflows. This is a role for someone who likes shipping fast, gathering feedback from users, and building iteratively.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain internal web applications and services that support build, release, and engineering workflows.
Build backend APIs and integrations against GitLab, artifact registries, telemetry stores, and internal platform services.
Own the full lifecycle of the tools you and others build, including requirements gathering from internal users, implementation, deployment via the platform's GitOps flow, and ongoing support.
Contribute to shared internal tooling frameworks, component libraries, and standards.
Instrument tools for observability and traceability.
Participate in code reviews and design discussions across the Development team.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
3+ years of professional full stack development experience.

Comfort with containers, Git-based workflows, and CI pipelines.
Track record of shipping working software to real users and iterating on their feedback.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building internal tools or developer platforms for engineering organizations.
Familiarity with GitLab APIs, webhook-driven automation, or CI/CD orchestration.
