Newmark's technology team is looking for a Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer to drive the architecture and delivery of our cloud-native platforms end to end, from front-end experiences to backend services and data layers. You will set technical direction across multiple teams, design high-scale distributed systems, and champion the adoption of agentic AI-driven automation to accelerate engineering velocity and unlock new product capabilities, all while mentoring senior engineers and remaining deeply hands-on. If you are passionate about full-stack architecture, scalable systems design, agentic AI, and technical leadership, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the technical architecture for complex, cross-team full-stack initiatives spanning front-end, backend, and data layers.
• Design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance web applications and distributed services in a cloud-native environment.
• Architect and integrate agentic AI workflows (autonomous agents, LLM-driven automation, AI copilots) into engineering and product systems to drive efficiency and new capabilities.
• Set engineering standards and best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and deployment across the organization, including responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.
• Lead technical design reviews and provide architectural guidance to multiple engineering teams.
• Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business strategy into scalable technical roadmaps, including AI-driven product capabilities.
• Identify and resolve systemic performance, reliability, and scalability issues across the stack.
• Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers, raising the technical bar across the organization on both full-stack and AI engineering practices.
• Drive adoption of modern frameworks, tools, and engineering practices, including agentic AI and LLM tooling, to improve developer velocity and system resilience.
• Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly in agentic AI and automation, and assess their applicability to the business.

Qualifications:

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or related field preferred.
• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with demonstrated experience architecting full-stack web applications at scale.
• Expert-level proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend languages (e.g., C#, Node.js, Java, or similar).
• Deep understanding of distributed systems design, microservices architecture, and API design (REST/GraphQL).
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native architecture patterns.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating agentic AI systems, LLM-powered applications, or AI agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, MCP).
• Proven track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives across multiple teams.
• Strong background in database design, including both relational (SQL) and NoSQL data stores.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps practices.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction without direct reporting authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing multi-agent systems, tool-calling architectures, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and real-time data processing (e.g., Kafka, Event Hubs, Kinesis).
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Prior experience in commercial real estate, fintech, or operations/transaction systems.
• Track record of speaking, writing, or open-source contributions that demonstrate technical thought leadership, especially in applied AI.
