About The Role

Senior Full Stack Developer (React / Node / AWS) – Remote | High-Growth Product Team

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer to build, scale, and optimize modern web applications end-to-end .

This is a hands-on role — you’ll write production code daily while also

  • Shaping architecture
  • Improving performance
  • Mentoring developers

You’ll work across the full stack

  • 👉 Frontend → Backend → Database → Deployment
  • If you enjoy shipping real features (not just planning them), this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

  1. Full Stack Development (Core Focus)
  • Build end-to-end features across:
  • Frontend (UI)
  • Backend (APIs, logic)
  • Database
  • Deliver clean, scalable, production-ready code
  1. Frontend Development
  • Build responsive UIs using:
  • React
  • Angular
  • Vue.js
  • Implement state management:
  • Redux / Context API / Vuex
  • Ensure:
  • Performance
  • Accessibility
  • Cross-device compatibility
  1. Backend Development
  • Build APIs using:
  • Node.js
  • Django / Flask
  • Spring Boot
  • Design:
  • REST APIs
  • GraphQL endpoints
  • Optimize backend performance and scalability
  1. Database & Data Layer
  • Work with:
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • MongoDB
  • Design schemas and optimize queries
  • Implement caching:
  • Redis
  1. Testing & Code Quality
  • Write tests using:
  • Jest
  • Cypress
  • Maintain:
  • ≥ 80% code coverage
  • Conduct peer code reviews
  1. DevOps & Deployment
  • Use:
  • Git (GitHub / GitLab)
  • Deploy via:
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
  • Work with cloud platforms:
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform
  1. Mentorship & Technical Leadership
  • Mentor junior developers
  • Review code and enforce best practices
  • Contribute to architecture and roadmap decisions

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You ship features end-to-end (not just one layer)
  • You balance speed + clean architecture
  • You’re comfortable debugging complex systems
  • You communicate well with product/design teams
  • You raise the level of engineers around you

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 5+ years full stack development experience
  • Strong experience with:
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • React + Node.js
  • Experience with:
  • Relational DB + NoSQL DB
  • Familiarity with:
  • Git workflows
  • CI/CD pipelines

Nice to Have

  • SaaS or product-based company experience
  • Microservices or serverless architecture
  • Experience with:
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • Experience in high-growth environments

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Join standup and align on priorities
  • Build features across frontend + backend
  • Review and merge PRs
  • Debug performance issues
  • Collaborate with product/design
  • Deploy updates via CI/CD
  • Document technical changes

In short

You are both a builder and technical leader — shipping features while keeping systems scalable.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Features delivered on time
  • Application uptime ≥ 99.9%
  • Code coverage ≥ 80%
  • Reduced technical debt
  • Positive peer + stakeholder feedback

Why This Role Stands Out

  • True full-stack ownership (not siloed work)
  • High impact on product and architecture
  • Opportunity to mentor and lead
  • Fast-paced environment (real shipping, not bureaucracy)
  • Growth into:
  • Tech Lead
  • Engineering Manager

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Recruiter Interview
  • Technical Assessment (build feature end-to-end)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification
