In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Lead the design and delivery of complex full-stack features, owing technical decisions from data model and API contract design through React PWA front-end implementation and production deployment.
• Architect and build scalable Node.js backend services and RESTful APIs using Express.js or NestJS, defining patterns for authentication, error handling, versioning, and performance that junior developers follow.
• Lead PWA architecture decisions, including service worker strategy, offline-first caching design (Cache API, Workbox), push notification infrastructure, and app installability, while setting the standard for PWA implementation across the team.
• Design MongoDB data models and aggregation strategies for complex application requirements, enforce NoSQL data modeling best practices, and guide data architecture decisions across the team.
• Deliver mobile-friendly React front-end interfaces, including responsive layouts, touch-optimized interactions, and performance tuning for users across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Drive code quality across the team, set standards, lead code reviews, identify and resolve technical debt proactively, and ensure consistent engineering practices.
• Mentor and support mid-level and junior developers through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance.
• Conduct root cause analysis on complex production incidents, lead performance profiling and optimization across Node.js, MongoDB, and React/PWA layers.
• Contribute to technical roadmap discussions, providing engineering input on feasibility, risk, and build-vs-buy decisions for new platform capabilities.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, contribute to sprint planning, and support delivery of team commitments.

Who You Are:

You analyze multiple and diverse sources of information to define problems accurately before moving to solutions. You make good and timely technical decisions that keep the team moving forward even under ambiguity or incomplete information.
