About the role
As a Senior Consultant - Full Stack, you will make an impact by designing, building, and enhancing cloud-native applications that support the client's R&D organization. Operating at the intersection of science and technology, you will be a valued member of the R&D Technology Services team and work collaboratively with product owners, data experts, global engineering teams, and clients to deliver scalable, high-quality solutions that enable data-driven decision-making.
In this role, you will:
- Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable cloud-native applications across front-end and back-end systems, including modern microservice-based architectures, distributed systems, and RESTful APIs for enterprise platforms.
- Contribute to system architecture, technical design, and engineering standards, and create detailed technical documentation including Low-Level Design (LLD), Entity-Relationship (ER) diagrams, and component and class diagrams, while partnering with stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions, manage cloud environments, and build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment and delivery, while implementing automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end) and ensuring applications meet security, compliance, and operational standards.
- Integrate applications with enterprise R&D systems and scientific data platforms, build data pipelines supporting ingestion, transformation, and access, and enable interoperability using semantic data models and metadata standards.
- Take end-to-end ownership of features—from design through deployment—act as a technical contributor and mentor supporting junior engineers, influence stakeholders, drive improvements in development processes and architecture, and leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity.
- Consistently demonstrate the Cognizant Way to Lead, which means operating with Personal Leadership (building trust, collaboration, and inclusion), Organizational Leadership (driving vision and purpose, demonstrating a strategic and enterprise mindset, and creating and communicating a bold direction that inspires purpose), and Business Leadership (exemplifying client focus, managing ambiguity with accountability and results, and operating with financial acumen).
