We are rapidly expanding our engineering team and have multiple open positions for Full Stack Node.js Developers across all levels, from SDE 1 to SDE 4. In this role, you will be responsible for building, scaling, and maintaining end-to-end web applications. You will work across a JavaScript/TypeScript-focused stack—from designing high-performance, asynchronous backend microservices in Node.js to crafting highly responsive, user-friendly frontend interfaces.
Whether you are an ambitious SDE 1 looking to accelerate your career or a seasoned SDE 4 capable of architecting complex distributed systems and mentoring teams, we have a place for your expertise. Leveling and specific responsibilities will be aligned based on your experience and technical interview performance.

Key Responsibilities

Backend Development & Architecture

• Build and maintain scalable backend services using Node.js and modern frameworks (e.g., Express.js, NestJS, Fastify).
• Design, optimize, and integrate relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) ensuring data integrity and high performance.
• Develop secure and efficient RESTful APIs or GraphQL endpoints to power frontend interfaces and third-party integrations.
• Leverage asynchronous programming and event-driven architecture to build efficient, non-blocking applications.

Frontend & User Interface

• Ensure cross-browser compatibility and optimize web applications for maximum speed and scalability.
• Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers to translate wireframes and visual designs into functional code.

Engineering Excellence & Operations

• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to maintain high code quality and prevent regressions.
• Actively participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback to peers and upholding team coding standards.
• Support production debugging and system monitoring, collaborating with senior guidance or leading resolution paths depending on your level.
• Embrace Agile methodologies, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.

Leveling Expectations & Scope

• SDE 1: Focuses on execution, writes clean code, implements assigned features, and supports production debugging under senior guidance.
• SDE 2: Independently owns modules/features, designs local database schemas, optimizes API performance, and contributes heavily to code reviews.
• SDE 3: Leads complex feature sets, designs component architecture, mentors SDE 1/2 developers, and drives technical decisions within the module.
• SDE 4: Sets architectural guidelines, designs highly scalable/fault-tolerant distributed systems, mentors senior engineers, and leads cross-team technical strategies.

Required Technical Skills & Qualifications

• Programming Languages: Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• Backend Runtime & Frameworks: Hands-on experience with Node.js and frameworks like Express.js or NestJS.
• Frontend Technologies: Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and modern CSS frameworks (e.g., Bootstrap, Tailwind).
