About the Role:

Our client is seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications from front-end interfaces through back-end services and databases.

The Senior Full Stack Developer ensures products are fast, reliable, user-friendly, and maintainable while supporting growth and innovation.

Responsibilities:

Front-End Development:

  • Build modern, responsive UIs using React, Angular, or Vue.
  • Implement state management (Redux, Vuex, or Context API).
  • Ensure accessibility and cross-browser/device compatibility.

Back-End Development:

  • Develop APIs and business logic in Node.js, Python (Django/Flask/FastAPI), or Java/Spring.
  • Design RESTful or GraphQL endpoints for client consumption.
  • Manage server-side rendering and optimize for performance.

Database & Data Layer:

  • Design schemas and manage relational (Postgres, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases.
  • Write optimized queries and manage migrations.
  • Implement caching strategies (Redis, Memcached).

Testing & Code Quality:

  • Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Jest, Mocha, Cypress, or PyTest.
  • Maintain high code coverage (≥80%) and follow style/linting rules.
  • Perform regular peer code reviews.

Collaboration & Agile:

  • Work with product managers and designers to refine user stories into technical requirements.
  • Participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, standups, retrospectives).
  • Provide accurate effort estimates and technical feedback.

DevOps & Deployment (Lightweight):

  • Use Git, GitHub/GitLab for version control and pull requests.
  • Deploy applications using CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
  • Manage cloud deployments on AWS, Azure, or GCP for applications (Elastic Beanstalk, App Engine, Lambda/serverless functions).

Mentorship & Leadership:

  • Mentor junior and mid-level developers through code reviews and pair programming.
  • Contribute to long-term technical roadmap discussions.
  • Help enforce engineering best practices across the team.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit:

  • Hands-on coder who thrives building features end-to-end.
  • Strong communicator who can collaborate with product and design teams.
  • Experienced balancing fast iteration with maintainable architecture.
  • Proactive mentor who raises the skill level of the team.

Required Experience & Skills (Minimum):

  • 5+ years full stack development.
  • Proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Angular, Vue + Node.js).
  • Experience with at least one relational and one NoSQL database.
  • Familiarity with Git workflows and CI/CD.

Ideal Experience & Skills:

  • SaaS, e-commerce, or enterprise web application development.
  • Experience with microservices and serverless architectures.
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code or lightweight DevOps (Terraform, Docker).
  • Industry background in fast-paced product environments.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

  • Review and merge code, providing mentorship through constructive feedback.
  • Debug and optimize applications, resolving bugs or scaling bottlenecks.
  • Collaborate with designers and product managers to refine UX and feature requirements.
  • Deploy updates through CI/CD pipelines and monitor performance in production.
  • Document technical changes for future maintainability and onboarding.
