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
