About the Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Developer who will design, build, and manage applications for our clients end to end. You'll work across the stack — from database schema to API design to frontend UX — and you'll be expected to use modern development tooling, including LLM-assisted development, to work faster and smarter without compromising code quality.

Requirements

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, test, and maintain full-stack web applications for client engagements
  • Build and maintain RESTful/GraphQL APIs and backend services using Node.js and Python
  • Develop responsive, performant frontends using ReactJS
  • Design and manage relational databases using MySQL and PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and migrations
  • Deploy, monitor, and manage applications on AWS
  • Use LLM-powered tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your regular development workflow — for scaffolding, code review, debugging, test generation, and documentation
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and participate in code reviews
  • Collaborate directly with client stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions
  • Own applications post-launch — bug fixes, feature enhancements, performance tuning, and ongoing support
  • Contribute to architecture and technical decisions across projects
  • Maintain documentation for systems you build and manage

Required Skills & Experience

  • 2–3 years of professional experience in full-stack web development
  • Strong hands-on experience with Node.js and ReactJS
  • Proficiency in Python for backend/scripting work
  • Experience with AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, or similar core services)
  • Strong SQL skills with MySQL and PostgreSQL — schema design, indexing, query optimization
  • Comfort working across the full stack, from database to deployment
  • Practical experience using modern AI/LLM developer tools in daily coding workflows
  • Solid understanding of REST API design and integration
  • Familiarity with Git-based version control and CI/CD workflows
  • Ability to work directly with clients and manage multiple engagements
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Nice to Have

  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK)
  • Exposure to TypeScript
  • Experience in a client-services / consulting environment
  • Familiarity with QA/testing practices and tools (given our QA services background)
  • Experience building or integrating AI-powered features into applications
