About the Role
We are looking for a sharp and experienced SDE-2 Full-Stack Developer to join our growing engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in building scalable, high-performance web applications, has a strong grasp of full-stack architecture, and is comfortable leading projects end-to-end. You’ll be working on the entire web tech stack and handling both server-side and client-side, and drive feature development from idea to production.
As an SDE-2, we expect you to own systems, make informed architectural choices, and collaborate with peers to deliver high-impact features efficiently.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and scale full-stack applications using Next.js, react.js, Node.js, and MySQL.
Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to define, design, and ship new features.
Optimize client and server-side performance (TTFB, CLS, lazy loading, bundle splitting, caching strategies, DB query optimization).
Take ownership of system design for new features, design documentation, factoring in scalability, reliability, and code quality.
Contribute to building REST APIs and integrating backend services with modular frontend components.
Write unit and integration tests using Jest, React Testing Library, and maintain code quality via PR reviews and CI checks.
Use Docker for local development and production builds; deploy via Jenkins CI/CD to AWS-backed infrastructure.
Collaborate in a microservices environment, ensuring smooth service communication and graceful error handling.
Keep an eye on web vitals and identify opportunities to enhance the overall performance and developer experience.
Required Skills & Qualifications
3–5 years of hands-on experience in full-stack web development.
Familiarity with modern AI-powered developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, AI code search, code review tools) and ability to use them effectively as productivity multipliers.
Deep understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), React.js and Next.js (SSR, routing, data fetching).
Experience building and maintaining Noda, js-based, services and integrating with MySQL.
Practical knowledge of web performance optimization techniques—both frontend (LCP, lazy load, image optimization) and backend (query optimization, caching, compression).
Familiarity with Docker, Jenkins, and AWS services (like EC2, RDS, S3).
Exposure to component libraries/design systems; awareness of accessibility and responsive design principles.
Strong grasp of RESTful API design and best practices.
Comfortable with version control (Git) and collaborating via pull requests.
Ability to break down and drive a feature/module end-to-end by collaborating with peers (design, backend, DevOps).
Preferred Qualification
Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, API documentation (Swagger/Postman), and automated deployments.
Familiarity with CDN such as Cloudflare.
Experience conducting performance audits using tools like Lighthouse, WebPageTest, or Chrome DevTools.
What you will get:
A fast-paced, tech-savvy startup environment where your code has real-world, measurable impact.
End-to-end ownership of features and systems—your decisions will shape user experience and architecture.
Opportunity to work with state of the art tech, modern, performance-focused JavaScript stack.
Close collaboration with experienced engineers, designers, and product thinkers.
Room to grow into system-level decision making, architecture, and scale challenges.
Best in class Compensation and Benefits.
