About the role:
- We are looking for an experienced Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our high-performing engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership of large technical challenges, designing scalable systems, and contributing to both architecture and execution. You’ll work across the full web stack—React.js, Next.js, Node.js, MySQL— while collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive product and platform initiatives from inception to production.
- As a senior engineer, you’ll not only build robust features but also help guide technical direction, champion code quality, and contribute to a culture of performance, reliability, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, development, and optimization of scalable full-stack applications using Next.js, React.js, Node.js, and MySQL.
- Drive architecture discussions and system design for new modules and features with an eye on scalability, modularity, and performance.
- Own end-to-end implementation — from planning to deployment — ensuring best practices in coding, testing, CI/CD, and documentation.
- Contribute to building performant RESTful APIs and cleanly integrating backend services with modular frontend components.
- Continuously improve client and server-side performance, including TTFB, LCP, code splitting, caching, DB tuning, and Lighthouse score optimizations.
