Full Stack Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who can take end-to-end ownership of features across backend systems and frontend applications (web and mobile). You will work closely with product managers, architects, and cross-functional teams to design, build, and scale high-performance distributed systems and user-centric applications. This role demands strong backend depth, solid frontend expertise, and the ability to handle production-scale challenges across the stack.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Full Stack Ownership:

• Own features end-to-end: design, development, testing, deployment, production support.
• Translate business requirements into scalable backend and frontend solutions.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend/frontend engineers.

Backend Development:

• Design and build RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices.
• Work on distributed systems and messaging (Kafka or similar).
• Optimise backend performance (CPU, memory, DB queries, GC behaviour).
• Handle production issues and perform root cause analysis.

Frontend Development (Web and Mobile):

• Build scalable UI applications using React (Web) and React Native (Mobile).
• Develop responsive web apps and cross-platform mobile applications.
• Create reusable, maintainable UI components and design systems.
• Ensure cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility.

Performance and Optimisation:

• Backend (query performance, indexing, memory usage).
• Frontend (render cycles, bundle size, API efficiency).
• Monitor system performance and user interaction metrics.

Architecture and Collaboration:

• Contribute to system architecture and frontend design decisions.
• Work with distributed systems and ensure scalability and reliability.
• Drive engineering best practices, code reviews, and quality standards.

Technical Expectations:

Backend and Frameworks:

• Core Java (JDK 17+).
• Spring Boot (latest versions).
• Deep understanding of JPA/Hibernate internals.
• Design patterns and clean architecture principles.

Distributed Systems:

• Apache Kafka (preferred) or similar pub-sub systems.
• Event-driven architecture.
• Concepts: idempotency, retries, and eventual consistency.

Databases and Performance:

• Strong RDBMS expertise (MySQL / PostgreSQL).
• Query optimisation, indexing strategies.
• Performance tuning and memory management.

Frontend (Web and Mobile):

Core Technologies:

• JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• HTML5 CSS3 (Flexbox, Grid, responsive design).
• REST API integration.

React (Web):

• React.js (latest versions).
• State management (Redux, Zustand, Context API).
• Code splitting, lazy loading.

React Native (Mobile):

• Building and deploying apps for iOS and Android.
• Native modules and bridging concepts.
• Mobile performance optimisation.

Observability and Reliability:

• Logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.
• Handling real-time production incidents.
• Performance monitoring tools.

DevOps and Cloud:

• CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or similar).
• Maven, Git.
• Experience with Azure or Google Cloud Platform (preferred).

Good to Have:

• Strong ownership mindset and accountability.
• Ability to think in terms of scalability and long-term maintainability.
• Comfortable interacting with clients and stakeholders.
• Experience handling production systems and real-time issues.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Passion for clean code, performance, and user experience.
