Testing & Engineering Quality

• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Jest, Mocha, PyTest, Cypress, or similar frameworks • Maintain high automated test coverage and engineering quality standards • Conduct peer code reviews and enforce clean coding practices • Troubleshoot production issues and performance bottlenecks efficiently

Monitoring, Reliability & Security

• Monitor systems using Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar tools • Implement logging, alerting, and observability best practices • Apply secure coding principles aligned with OWASP Top 10 standards • Ensure systems comply with GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, or other relevant compliance requirements • Support uptime, resiliency, and disaster recovery initiatives

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to turn requirements into scalable technical solutions • Lead technical discussions and contribute to architecture planning • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, guidance, and pairing • Contribute to long-term technical roadmaps and engineering standards • Participate actively in sprint ceremonies, planning, and technical estimation

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

• Strong full-stack engineer capable of owning features end-to-end • Experienced in scaling systems and improving infrastructure reliability • Hands-on problem solver who thrives in technical environments • Strong communicator who collaborates effectively across teams • Balances rapid execution with maintainable architecture and code quality • Passionate about mentoring and improving engineering culture

Required Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript with React and Node.js • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB) • Hands-on cloud deployment experience using AWS, GCP, or Azure • Strong understanding of Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines • Experience building APIs, scalable applications, and production systems • Strong debugging, optimization, and troubleshooting skills

Ideal Experience & Skills

• Experience leading architecture reviews and technical design sessions • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) • Background building SaaS or high-traffic applications • Experience with microservices, event-driven systems, or serverless architectures • Familiarity with Kubernetes orchestration and distributed systems • Exposure to observability, performance engineering, and cloud cost optimization

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

A Senior Full Stack Software Engineer’s day revolves around building features, improving infrastructure, and ensuring system reliability. You will:

• Join standups and align with engineering and product teams on sprint priorities • Build full-stack features across APIs, databases, and front-end interfaces • Review pull requests and mentor engineers through technical feedback • Investigate and resolve bugs, outages, and performance bottlenecks • Collaborate with product managers and designers on implementation strategies and UX flows • Deploy updates through CI/CD pipelines and monitor infrastructure health • Contribute to technical planning, architecture decisions, and platform improvements

In essence: you are both a hands-on builder and technical leader, ensuring systems remain scalable, reliable, secure, and continuously improving.

Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)

• Features delivered on time and aligned with technical specifications • Application uptime ≥ 99.9% • High code quality and maintainable architecture standards • Automated test coverage maintained at ≥80% • Reduced technical debt and improved platform reliability • Fast resolution of production issues and infrastructure incidents • Positive peer feedback and successful mentoring of junior engineers
