Description
Science advances fastest when researchers can collaborate across boundaries — institutional, geographic, and disciplinary. Research Topics are how Frontiers makes that happen: themed, peer-reviewed article collections where leading researchers from around the world propose a theme, invite contributors, and curate the resulting work into an openly accessible body of knowledge — free for anyone, anywhere to read and build upon.
We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with a strong backend lean to join the team that builds and evolves the platform powering this experience. You will work on the Research Topic Management (RTM) application — a distributed .NET system with Vue/Nuxt frontends, SQL Server-heavy data operations, Github/Azure DevOps-driven deployments, and async integration workflows connecting multiple internal services.
This is a senior role where autonomy, ownership, and technical leadership are central. You will own complex backend systems and full-stack features end-to-end — from specification refinement and architectural decisions,



through implementation, to production monitoring and incident resolution. You will work on real production systems where SQL performance, distributed reliability, and integration correctness matter daily.
We have fully embraced AI-based spec-driven design, integrating AI throughout the entire software development lifecycle — using skills, rules, multi-agent workflows, and automation for code review, testing, and code analysis. From specification to implementation, AI tooling shapes how we architect, build, and iterate, making us faster, more deliberate, and focused on what matters most. This isn’t an experiment. It’s how we work.
Your work directly enables researchers worldwide to collaborate, publish openly, and push science forward.
