The ideal candidate must have deep expertise in JavaScript, React, and modern front-end architectures, along with strong hands-on experience in Node.js and advanced Server-Side Rendering (SSR) implementations.

· Design reusable, maintainable, and high-performance UI component libraries.
· Develop and maintain backend services using Node.js when required.
· Optimize rendering performance across client-side and server-side environments.
· Ensure SEO optimization and performance best practices in SSR-based applications.
· Collaborate with architects, backend teams, UI/UX designers, and stakeholders to define technical solutions.
· Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior developers.
· Participate in architectural decisions and technical roadmap planning.
Required Qualifications

· Strong hands-on experience with Node.js in full-stack or SSR environments.
· Deep understanding of Server-Side Rendering (SSR), hydration, caching strategies, and rendering lifecycle.
· Proven experience working with multiple template engines and server-side rendering frameworks.
· Strong understanding of REST APIs and integration with backend services.
