Job Description

We're seeking a skilled MERN Full Stack Engineer to architect and develop integrated frontend and backend systems that enhance user experience while ensuring system reliability and scalability. You'll drive technical solutions that reduce operational costs and enable new revenue opportunities through efficient, maintainable code and APIs.


Job Requirements

Technical Requirements

Frontend Expertise (Strong)

  • Deep proficiency in React, Next.js, TypeScript
  • Experience with state management (Redux, Context API)
  • Frontend testing expertise (Jest, Cypress)
  • Proven track record of achieving high Lighthouse performance scores

Backend Proficiency

  • Solid experience with Node.js, NestJS (preferred), or ExpressJS
  • Database management (SQL, NoSQL)
  • Cloud technologies experience (AWS, Azure)
  • Understanding of OpenAI and AI integration capabilities (bonus)

Full Stack Integration

  • Excellent ability to manage and troubleshoot integration issues between frontend and backend systems
  • Experience designing cohesive systems with proper separation of concerns

What We're Looking For

You treat frontend and backend as interconnected parts of a larger system, not separate concerns. You have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, performant applications while maintaining clean, scalable codebases.

But beyond technical ability, you communicate proactively. You don't wait to be asked. When you hit a blocker, you flag it early. When you make a trade-off, you document it. You speak in outcomes, not activities. In a small, high-velocity team, clear async communication isn't a soft skill - it's a core deliverable.

You're a why person, not a what person. You want to understand why a feature is being built, you'll challenge how it should be built, and you take ownership of the result end to end. If that sounds like how you naturally work, you'll thrive here.

Ready to Apply?

Please be ready to share examples of full-stack projects you personally led, the specific decisions you made, and the measurable impact they achieved. Applications without concrete examples will not be considered.
