Description

Are you a strong technical mind who loves solving complex problems, building cutting-edge products, and working with autonomy? We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our growing team and help shape the future of our platforms and technologies.

This is more than just writing code - you'll be owning projects end-to-end, making architectural decisions, and contributing to high-impact, high-scale systems. You'll have the chance to lead, grow, and work on truly meaningful work in a modern tech stack.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Build secure, scalable backend systems (mostly in Node.js, with some Python).
  • Develop rich, responsive UIs using React and modern frontend tooling.
  • Architect APIs, design clean data models, and ensure smooth integration across services.
  • Own your work from design to deployment - and support it in production.
  • Work across a modern DevOps environment using containers, CI/CD, cloud platforms, and monitoring tools.
  • Apply security best practices at every stage of development.
  • Collaborate across teams - or work solo when needed. Your initiative is valued.
  • What We're Looking For (Must-Haves)
    • Strong Technical Skills from the list below
    • Start-up experience - you're comfortable in fast-moving, dynamic environments
    • Currently in a hands-on development role - actively coding and contributing
    • Able to work independently - you don't need much direction to get things done
    • Experience building and scaling cloud-based applications from the ground up
    • Strong problem-solving skills - you can tackle tough challenges effectively
    • A portfolio with real examples - ideally live, public projects that show what you can do

    • Expert in Express.js and TypeScript
    • Skilled in designing RESTful APIs
    • Comfortable with testing (e.g., using Jest)

Python (Intermediate level)

    • 2+ years of experience with Python for backend work or scripting
    • Familiar with Flask and writing clean, maintainable code
    • Experience working with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB)

Frontend Development

    • 5+ years of experience building complex applications with React
    • Strong understanding of React fundamentals - Hooks, Context API, Component Lifecycle
    • Able to turn designs/mockups into fast, user-friendly UIs
    • Experience with state management tools like Redux
    • Solid skills in modern JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and preprocessors (SASS/LESS)

Infrastructure & Security

    • Experience with containerized deployments (e.g., Docker)

DevOps (Required)

    • Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)

Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)

    • Experience training AI models
    • Working with large, unstructured or semi-structured datasets
