About the Role

People10 is looking for an experienced Lead Full Stack Developer with 6+ years of hands-on development experience in ReactJS, Node.js, and database technologies. 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 a technical 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.
  

Requirements

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Minimum 6+ years of professional experience in full stack software development.
  

• Strong hands-on experience with ReactJS and Node.js.
  

• Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+) and a good understanding of asynchronous programming.
  

• Experience designing and integrating RESTful APIs, including with external/third-party systems.
  

• Strong knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or similar.
  

• Experience in database design, query optimization, and data modeling.
  

• Demonstrated experience in solution architecture — making and owning system-level design decisions.
  

• Working knowledge of cloud platforms and application security best practices (authentication, authorization, data protection).
  

• Prior experience in a Lead Developer, Technical Lead, or equivalent leadership role, with demonstrated ownership of technical deliverables.
  

• Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
  

• Experience with Git and collaborative version control workflows.
  

• Knowledge of unit testing, integration testing, debugging, and performance optimization.
  

• Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
  

• Ability to work independently while guiding and collaborating with a development team.
  

Good to Have

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar), including using them to accelerate delivery across a team, is a strong advantage.
  

• Experience with Azure cloud services is preferred; familiarity with AWS is a plus.
  

• Experience with TypeScript and modern React development practices.
  

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and deployment automation.
  

• Understanding of microservices architecture.
  

• Experience integrating with Transportation Management System (TMS) APIs or similar logistics/supply-chain platforms is a plus.
  

• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and sprint planning.
  

• Exposure to monitoring, logging, and production support practices.
  

Leadership Expectations

• Demonstrate hands-on technical expertise while leading development activities.
  

• Break down requirements into technical tasks and guide the team through implementation.
  

• Take ownership of technical decisions, architecture, delivery timelines, and code quality.
  

• Mentor team members, resolve technical blockers, and encourage knowledge sharing.
  

• Collaborate effectively with stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives.
  

Ideal Candidate Profile
