Design RESTful or GraphQL endpoints for client consumption. Manage server-side rendering and optimize for performance. Database & Data Layer: Design schemas and manage relational (Postgres, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases. Write optimized queries and manage migrations. Implement caching strategies (Redis, Memcached). Testing & Code Quality: Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Jest, Mocha, Cypress, or PyTest. Maintain high code coverage (≥80%) and follow style/linting rules. Perform regular peer code reviews. Collaboration & Agile: Work with product managers and designers to refine user stories into technical requirements. Participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, standups, retrospectives). Provide accurate effort estimates and technical feedback. DevOps & Deployment (Lightweight): Use Git, GitHub/GitLab for version control and pull requests. Deploy applications using CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). Manage cloud deployments on AWS, Azure, or GCP for applications (Elastic Beanstalk, App Engine, Lambda/serverless functions). Mentorship & Leadership: Mentor junior and mid-level developers through code reviews and pair programming. Contribute to long-term technical roadmap discussions. Help enforce engineering best practices across the team. What Makes You a Perfect Fit: Hands-on coder who thrives building features end-to-end. Strong communicator who can collaborate with product and design teams. Experienced balancing fast iteration with maintainable architecture. Proactive mentor who raises the skill level of the team. Required Experience & Skills (Minimum): 5+ years full stack development. Proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Angular, Vue + Node.js). Experience with at least one relational and one NoSQL database. Familiarity with Git workflows and CI/CD. Ideal Experience & Skills: SaaS, e-commerce, or enterprise web application development. Experience with microservices and serverless architectures. Exposure to infrastructure-as-code or lightweight DevOps (Terraform, Docker). Industry background in fast-paced product environments. What Does a Typical Day Look Like? A Senior Full Stack Developer’s day revolves around shipping features while maintaining performance and reliability. You will: Start with standup, reviewing sprint goals and prioritizing tickets. Develop new features across front-end and back-end, from UI components to APIs. Review and merge code, providing mentorship through constructive feedback. Debug and optimize applications, resolving bugs or scaling bottlenecks. Collaborate with designers and product managers to refine UX and feature requirements. Deploy updates through CI/CD pipelines and monitor performance in production. Document technical changes for future maintainability and onboarding. In essence: you are both a hands-on builder and technical leader, ensuring applications are robust, scalable, and continuously improving.
