About this role.
NetDocuments is hiring a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to develop the next generation of its cloud-based legal document management platform. The role requires end-to-end delivery across React, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, REST/GraphQL APIs, and SQL/NoSQL data stores. The engineer will contribute to event-driven architecture, production observability, scalability, security, and technical design decisions. Success depends on owning features through production, collaborating closely with Product and Design, and helping raise engineering standards. Experience with scalable SaaS, regulated enterprise environments, and AI-enabled development tools is especially valuable.

Sample interview questions
I would separate ingestion, metadata extraction, indexing, and notification into independently scalable services connected through durable event streams or queues. Each stage would be idempotent, observable, and protected by retry and dead-letter handling, while authorization checks and audit logging would be enforced throughout the workflow.
I would establish clear domain boundaries, typed API contracts, reusable UI components, and a service layer that isolates business logic from transport concerns. Automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, consistent linting, code review standards, and incremental documentation would keep the system understandable and safe to evolve.
I would use GraphQL when multiple clients need flexible, efficient access to related data and the domain benefits from a strongly typed schema. I would use REST for simpler resource-oriented operations, external integrations, or cases where straightforward caching and operational conventions are more important than query flexibility.
I start by confirming the user impact and reviewing metrics, traces, logs, deployment changes, and error patterns to identify the affected path. I then form and test hypotheses, mitigate risk through rollback, feature flags, or capacity changes where needed, and document the root cause and preventive actions after resolution.
I would assess its security model, data handling, permission boundaries, reliability, cost, observability, and compliance implications before running a limited, measurable pilot. Adoption should be based on demonstrated developer or customer value, with human review, auditability, and fallback behavior for high-impact workflows.
