Job Description

General responsibilities

• Build performant, accessible, and user-friendly interfaces using ReactJS and TypeScript, while developing scalable backend services using Node.js/TypeScript.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions across front-end and back-end layers.
• Develop and maintain reusable UI components and design systems (e.g., Storybook), alongside modular backend services and APIs.
• Design, build, and maintain REST/GraphQL APIs, ensuring scalability, security, and performance.
• Integrate with ElasticSearch and implement efficient search and data retrieval mechanisms.
• Handle real-time updates using event-driven approaches and ensure resilient state management across the stack.
• Optimize for Core Web Vitals, backend performance, and overall user-perceived system efficiency.
• Contribute to AI-powered user experiences by integrating with Azure OpenAI services across both front-end and backend layers.
• Work within a containerized environment (Docker, AKS) and manage deployments and services end-to-end.
• Integrate workflows with GitHub Enterprise (GHE) and open-source DevOps tools, supporting CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensure quality through unit, integration, and E2E testing across front-end and back-end, while keeping documentation clear and current.

Leadership responsibilities

• Define full-stack standards covering UI, backend architecture, API design, and system scalability.
• Partner with Design to translate UX into scalable, themed components and align with backend architecture.
• Align with teams on API contracts, versioning, and performance budgets across the stack.
• Advocate for user-centric, data-driven decisions using telemetry, logging, and experimentation.
• Mentor team members across both front-end and back-end development practices.

Job requirements

• Solid understanding of full-stack development, including client-server architecture, API design, and database integration.
• Experience working with REST/GraphQL APIs, including authentication, authorization, and real-time data handling.
• Understanding of ElasticSearch and how to design and optimize search-driven applications.
• Exposure to AI/ML concepts and practical use of Azure OpenAI APIs for building intelligent features.
• Knowledge of performance optimization techniques across front-end (Core Web Vitals) and backend systems.
• Comfortable working in containerized environments (Docker, AKS) and cloud-based deployments.
• Experience integrating with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Enterprise and open-source DevOps tools.
• Strong grounding in testing methodologies (unit, integration, and end-to-end) across the stack.
• Ability to maintain clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
