The ideal candidate combines strong engineering depth with solution-architecture judgment — someone comfortable owning technical design decisions, cloud and security posture, and system-level API integrations, not just writing code.

The candidate must have previously played atechnical leadership or team lead role, with the ability to guide developers, drive technical decisions, ensure code quality, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.

Career Path

As a Lead Full Stack Developer, you will have opportunities to grow into roles such as Principal Engineer, Solution Architect, Engineering Manager, or broader techno-functional leadership streams.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership:Lead and mentor a team of developers, provide technical guidance, conduct code reviews, and promote engineering best practices.

Solution Architecture:Own application architecture and technical design decisions — scalability, security, integration patterns, and long-term maintainability.

Full Stack Development

Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable web applications using ReactJS, Node.js, and modern development frameworks.

Frontend Development

Build responsive, high-performance, and reusable UI components using ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.

Backend Development

Develop RESTful APIs, backend services, and business logic using Node.js and suitable frameworks such as Express.js.

API Integration:Design and oversee integration with external/third-party REST APIs, ensuring reliable, secure, and well-governed data exchange.

Database Management

Design, develop, and optimize database schemas, queries, and data models using SQL and/or NoSQL databases.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Guide cloud architecture and deployment decisions, balancing scalability, cost, and operational simplicity.

Security:Embed authentication, authorization, and data-protection practices into the architecture from the outset, not as an afterthought.

Code Quality:Ensure clean, maintainable, reusable, and well-documented code through code reviews, automated testing, and established coding standards.

Project Delivery:Collaborate with product managers, business analysts, QA engineers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver solutions on time.

Troubleshooting

Identify and resolve technical issues, performance bottlenecks, and production defects.

Continuous Improvement

Stay updated with emerging technologies, development tools, and industry best practices.
