Job Description

About This Role

  • Wells Fargo is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and deliver modern, scalable, and secure full-stack applications using Python and Angular. The role will contribute to building customer- and employee-facing platforms that integrate with enterprise services, enable automation, and support a risk-aware, compliance-driven operating environment.
  • This position is part of a technology team responsible for delivering features and services across the full SDLC-architecture, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support-while partnering with product owners, architects, QA, and platform teams.

In this role, you will

  • Lead moderately complex initiatives and deliverables within the technical domain, including end-to-end ownership of features from design through production support.
  • Design, code, test, debug, and document software solutions, including upgrades and deployments, ensuring maintainability and scalability.
  • Evaluate and resolve moderately complex technical challenges requiring in-depth analysis of technologies, patterns, and procedures.
  • Build and maintain Python backend services (REST APIs, business workflows, integration services) and Angular UI experiences (responsive web apps, reusable components, performance-optimized screens).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners and act as an escalation point, providing guidance to less experienced engineers through code reviews, standards, and technical mentoring.
  • Support Wells Fargo's emphasis on risk management and compliance, including adherence to policies, controls, and timely escalation/remediation of issues.

Required Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

Desired Qualifications

  • Core technical skills
  • Strong hands-on experience building backend systems in Python (e.g., FastAPI / Django / Flask) with well-structured APIs and domain logic.
  • Strong hands-on experience building front-end applications using Angular (modern Angular versions), TypeScript, RxJS, and component-based UI design.
  • Experience implementing RESTful APIs, API versioning, input validation, pagination, and error standards; familiarity with OpenAPI/Swagger.
  • Proficiency with SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle) and data modeling; working knowledge of ORM patterns (e.g., SQLAlchemy/Django ORM).
  • Solid understanding of testing and quality practices: unit tests, integration tests, mocking, test automation (e.g., pytest, Angular testing utilities).
  • Knowledge of secure software engineering: authentication/authorization (OAuth2/OIDC), secrets management, OWASP principles, and secure coding practices.

Job Expectations

  • Good-to-have Backend / Python ecosystem
  • Async Python patterns (asyncio), background processing (Celery/RQ), caching (Redis), and message/event systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ).
  • Observability and reliability: structured logging, tracing (OpenTelemetry), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana), and SRE-friendly production readiness.
  • Performance tuning and profiling; API scalability patterns; familiarity with 12-factor and cloud-native design.
  • Front-end / Angular ecosystem
  • State management patterns (NgRx, signals, reactive forms), micro-frontend concepts, and modular UI architecture.
  • E2E and UI automation testing (Cypress / Playwright) and component testing strategies.
  • Accessibility (WCAG), i18n, and performance optimization (lazy loading, bundle analysis).
  • DevOps / Platform
  • CI/CD and pipeline engineering (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes/OpenShift), and Helm.
  • Infrastructure-as-code and environment automation (Terraform), plus secure SDLC practices (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning).
  • Modern engineering practices
  • API gateway patterns, service-to-service security, feature flags, blue/green or canary releases.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot-style tooling) responsibly to improve productivity and code quality.

Posting End Date:

8 Apr 2026

  • Job posting may come down early due to volume of applicants.
