Senior Full Stack Developer at Pavago · KENYA

Senior Full Stack Developer (React / Node / AWS) – Remote | High-Growth Product Team

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer to build, scale, and optimize modern web applications end-to-end.

This is a hands-on role — you’ll write production code daily while also:

• Shaping architecture
• Improving performance
• Mentoring developers

You’ll work across the full stack: 👉 Frontend → Backend → Database → Deployment

If you enjoy shipping real features (not just planning them), this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

1. Full Stack Development (Core Focus)

• Build end-to-end features across:
  • Frontend (UI)
  • Backend (APIs, logic)
  • Database
• Deliver clean, scalable, production-ready code

2. Frontend Development

• Build responsive UIs using:
  • React
  • Angular
  • Vue.js
• Implement state management:
  • Redux / Context API / Vuex
• Ensure:
  • Performance
  • Accessibility
  • Cross-device compatibility

3. Backend Development

• Build APIs using:
  • Node.js
  • Django / Flask
  • Spring Boot
• Design:
  • REST APIs
  • GraphQL endpoints
• Optimize backend performance and scalability

4. Database & Data Layer

• Work with:
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • MongoDB
• Design schemas and optimize queries
• Implement caching:
  • Redis

5. Testing & Code Quality

• Write tests using:
  • Jest
  • Cypress
• Maintain:
  • ≥ 80% code coverage
• Conduct peer code reviews

6. DevOps & Deployment

• Use:
  • Git (GitHub / GitLab)
• Deploy via:
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Work with cloud platforms:
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform

7. Mentorship & Technical Leadership

• Mentor junior developers
• Review code and enforce best practices
• Contribute to architecture and roadmap decisions

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You ship features end-to-end (not just one layer)
• You balance speed + clean architecture
• You’re comfortable debugging complex systems
• You communicate well with product/design teams
• You raise the level of engineers around you

Requirements (Must-Have)

• 5+ years full stack development experience
• Strong experience with:
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • React + Node.js
• Experience with:
  • Relational DB + NoSQL DB
• Familiarity with:
  • Git workflows
  • CI/CD pipelines

Nice to Have

• SaaS or product-based company experience
• Microservices or serverless architecture
• Experience with:
  • Docker
  • Terraform
• Experience in high-growth environments

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Join standup and align on priorities
• Build features across frontend + backend
• Review and merge PRs
• Debug performance issues
• Collaborate with product/design
• Deploy updates via CI/CD
• Document technical changes

In short: You are both a builder and technical leader — shipping features while keeping systems scalable.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Features delivered on time
• Application uptime ≥ 99.9%
• Code coverage ≥ 80%
• Reduced technical debt
• Positive peer + stakeholder feedback

Why This Role Stands Out

• True full-stack ownership (not siloed work)
• High impact on product and architecture
• Opportunity to mentor and lead
• Fast-paced environment (real shipping, not bureaucracy)
• Growth into:
  • Tech Lead
  • Engineering Manager

Interview Process

• Initial Phone Screen
• Recruiter Interview
• Technical Assessment (build feature end-to-end)
• Client Interview
• Offer & Background Verification
