Full-Stack Engineer — Document Generation & Report Systems in Blazestack

• Own the full document generation lifecycle — designing templates, building server-side assembly pipelines, and rendering final Microsoft Word (.docx) and Adobe PDF output from structured case data, including complex formatting: dynamic tables of contents, section numbering, headers/footers, conditional content blocks, and embedded images.
• Build, tune, and maintain integrations with document SDKs and libraries (e.g., Aspose.Words, OpenXML SDK, PDF rendering engines) to produce high-fidelity output that opens cleanly across Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, Preview, and common PDF viewers — diagnosing and resolving cross-platform rendering inconsistencies, corrupted files, and edge cases in binary document formats.
• Optimize document generation performance for large, image-heavy reports (100+ pages, 200+ embedded photos) — managing memory growth, implementing streaming/async processing, and eliminating silent failures with robust error handling, progress tracking, and actionable status feedback in the UI.
• Design and evolve the report configuration UI in React/TypeScript — section selection, format choice (Word/PDF), real-time generation status, download management, and Photo Log assembly (configurable multi-photo-per-page layouts with captions and metadata).
• Work within an AWS-native, event-driven architecture using Lambda, S3, and API Gateway to orchestrate document generation workflows — queuing, status tracking, file delivery, and infrastructure-as-code to scale processing while meeting stringent security and compliance requirements (CJIS, SOC 2).
• Apply strong engineering hygiene: test-driven development for document output (structural validation of generated .docx, visual regression testing for PDFs), DRY principles, and maintainable abstractions that support template customization per agency without codebase fragmentation. Review own work critically, anticipate failure modes in document rendering, and ship features that remain stable after release.

Strong collaboration and communication skills, experience with Material UI, accessibility and responsive design. Familiarity with Aspose.Words, and prior work building document templates that support per-customer customization (logos, headers, section ordering, field visibility). Experience producing court-admissible or regulatory documents (legal, government, insurance) is a plus. Data modeling for complex investigations and a user-centered design mindset are valued. Public-safety, GovTech, or other high-trust domains are a plus. Ability to balance speed with quality and maintainability, across product and engineering leadership, is important.
