**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Candidate Sourcing

## Description

### **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

### **2\. Frontend Development**

-   Build responsive UIs using:

-   React
-   Angular
-   Vue.js

-   Implement state management:

-   Redux / Context API / Vuex

-   Ensure:

-   Performance
-   Accessibility
-   Cross-device compatibility

### **3\. Backend Development**

-   Build APIs using:

-   Node.js
-   Django / Flask
-   Spring Boot

-   Design:

-   REST APIs
-   GraphQL endpoints

-   Optimize backend performance and scalability

### **4\. Database & Data Layer**

-   Work with:

-   PostgreSQL
-   MySQL
-   MongoDB

-   Design schemas and optimize queries
-   Implement caching:

-   Redis

### **5\. Testing & Code Quality**

-   Write tests using:

-   Jest
-   Cypress

-   Maintain:

-   ≥ 80% code coverage

-   Conduct peer code reviews

### **6\. 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

### **7\. 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

### **Apply Now**

If you’re a **hands-on full stack engineer** who enjoys building, scaling, and improving real systems — this is a strong opportunity to step into a **high-impact senior role**.
