Full Stack Engineer

We are looking for a 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.

• 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:

• Optimise: Backend (query performance, indexing, memory usage) and 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.
