Your Role at impact.com :

This is a hybrid role based in our Columbus, OH office, requiring in-office days on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week.

As an Intermediate Full Stack Software Engineer at impact.com, you will create and support features on our platform which are used by many of the world’s top brands to grow their businesses.

You will be a member of our Data Viz squad, building dynamic data presentation features that provide an intuitive, high-performance, and interactive experience for our end users. In this role, you will become proficient in the latest in Java, React, Unit Testing, TDD, JavaScript, Spring and agentic workflows, while mastering our enterprise platform and codebase.

What You'll Do:

• Build & Maintain Reporting Software: Design and develop robust, interactive data visualization components and presentation features using React, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Develop Full-Stack Features: Build and maintain scalable, secure APIs and backend services using Java, Spring, and Hibernate/JPA to power complex data queries and reporting.
• Collaborate on UI/UX: Partner closely with Product Management, UX/UI Designers, and fellow engineers to translate complex data sets into elegant, user-friendly visual interfaces.
• Write Quality, Testable Code: Champion code quality by actively participating in test-driven development (TDD), writing comprehensive unit and integration tests, and engaging in constructive code reviews.
• Maintain & Scale: Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize performance across the entire application stack—from client-side rendering bottlenecks to backend database queries (MySQL/RDBMS).

What You Have:

Education & Experience:

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a technical discipline, or equivalent hands-on professional expertise.
• Demonstrated proficiency in full-stack development
• 2+ years experience working building full stack applications

Core Technical Stack:

• Java & Spring: Solid understanding of Java 8+, Spring frameworks, and Spring MVC.
• Database & Persistence: Experience with SQL, MySQL (or other RDBMS), Hibernate/JPA, and JDBC.
• Web Foundations: Expertise in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS, DOM manipulation, and RESTful APIs.
• Modern Client-Side Frameworks: Applied experience with React (strongly preferred), though Angular or Vue are also valuable.

Engineering Best Practices:

• Familiarity with Git for version control and navigating command-line environments.
• Capable of effectively debugging client-side applications.
• Superior communication skills and a collaborative mindset for high-functioning teams.

Nice To Have:

• Exposure to containerization/build tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Gradle, Vite/Webpack), state management and styling (Redux/Vuex, CSS preprocessors), Elasticsearch, Spring ecosystem runtimes (Boot, Netty, Tomcat, Resin), and LLM/agentic development.

Our Interview Process:

• Our process includes a recruiter screen, a technical video interview, and a required in-person interview at our Columbus office. Please apply only if you're able to complete every stage, including attending in person — we're not able to make exceptions to the in-person step for this role.

Salary Range: $90,000 - $110,000 per year, plus eligible to receive a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grant and additional variable annual bonus contingent on Company performance. *This is the pay range the Company believes is equitable for this position at the time of this posting.
