In This Role, You Will

• Build and maintain frontend features using React, including reusable components, forms, and API-connected views.
• Write backend routes and controllers using Node.js and Express.js under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Work with MongoDB to read and write data and understand basic schema design patterns.
• Integrate frontend components with REST APIs and debug issues across the full stack.
• Fix bugs across the codebase and contribute to improving overall product quality and stability.
• Write clean, readable JavaScript and TypeScript code that follows team standards and passes code review.
• Participate in code reviews and use feedback constructively to improve the quality of your work over time.
• Learn and apply state management basics using Redux or Context API in real product features.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies including standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives.
• Ask good questions, document what you learn, and grow your skills consistently week over week.You Might Thrive in This Role If You
• Have 0 to 2 years of experience with the MERN stack through personal projects, internships, or early professional work.
• Have built at least one full stack project using React and Node.js that you can walk someone through end to end.
• Are comfortable with JavaScript (ES6+) and have a basic understanding of TypeScript or are eager to learn it.
• Understand how REST APIs work and have connected a frontend to a backend API before.
• Are a fast learner who does not wait to be told what to do and takes initiative to understand the codebase independently.
• Are comfortable with Git for version control and understand basic branching and pull request workflows.
• Care about the quality of what you ship and are not satisfied with code that works in development but breaks in production.Bonus If You Have

Familiarity with Next.js or server-side rendering concepts.

Basic knowledge of cloud deployments on AWS, GCP, or similar platforms.

Exposure to Docker or containerised development environments.

A GitHub profile with MERN stack projects or open-source contributions.
