About the role
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, including 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 and 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.
Requirements:
- 2-4 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 Node.js -based services and integrating with MySQL.
- Practical knowledge of web performance optimization techniques, both front-end (LCP, lazy load, and image optimization) and back-end (query optimization, caching, and 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.
