We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join a premier software engineering team in Dubai. Operating within the Software Engineering Chapter, this role focuses on the end-to-end design, development, and optimization of high-performance Digital Products & Data Analytics platforms.

The ideal candidate will combine expert-level frontend development in React.js with robust backend engineering in Node.js and MongoDB (NoSQL). You will be responsible for building highly responsive, secure, and distributed applications, optimizing performance across the entire web stack, and driving technical excellence within an Agile environment.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

1. Frontend Engineering & UI Optimization

• Develop and implement highly responsive, modular, and reusable user interface components using React.js, TypeScript, and modern hooks/lifecycle principles.
• Build seamless, high-performance Responsive Web Applications utilizing advanced CSS techniques, including CSS-Pre-processors and CSS-in-JS (Styled Components, Tailwind CSS, Material UI).
• Manage complex state management workflows using Redux, Flux, or Context API.
• Benchmark, monitor, and continuously optimize front-end rendering, core web vitals, and build pipelines using modern task runners and bundlers (npm, yarn, webpack).

2. Backend, API & Database Engineering

• Design, architect, and deploy highly available, scalable, and non-blocking RESTful APIs using Node.js and TypeScript, applying multi-threading and advanced asynchronous patterns when necessary.
• Model, query, and optimize data structures within MongoDB and other NoSQL database environments.
• Integrate API gateways (e.g., 3Scale), handle real-time communication protocols, and evaluate GraphQL implementations where applicable.
• Implement secure, token-based authentication protocols, including JWT, OAuth, and REST security best practices.

3. Distributed Architecture & DevOps

• Architect and configure message/task queues across distributed environments using Kafka, AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Pushpin.
• Own and troubleshoot deployment pipelines within containerized environments utilizing Docker and Kubernetes.
• Actively engage in modern CI/CD principles, troubleshooting performance, proxy, caching, and infrastructure issues across distributed services ecosystems.

4. Code Quality, Testing & Governance

• Write clean, idiomatic, and thoroughly documented code, utilizing JSDoc or equivalent inline documentation standards.
• Enforce rigorous linting and formatting standards across codebases using TSLint, Prettier, etc.
• Drive robust test coverage by writing unit tests via frameworks like Jest, Enzyme, or Jasmine.
• Research and benchmark internal systems against best-in-class global technologies to maintain high application architecture standards.
