About The Position

Full-Stack Developers deliver coherent features across the browser, service, and data layers. They can follow a user need through a React interface, an API, back-end logic, and a database change, then make sure those parts work together as one understandable system. The role is defined by integration and end-to-end ownership, not by claiming equal depth in every specialty. You decide where logic belongs, keep contracts aligned, test the seams between layers, and work with deeper specialists when architecture, database operations, security, accessibility, or platform concerns exceed the feature team's scope. You might spend one day improving a component and its state, another changing an API and schema migration, and another tracing a production failure across several services. Strong full-stack work reduces handoff gaps while preserving clear boundaries, review, and operational accountability.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with React and TypeScript or JavaScript plus at least one modern back-end language and framework.
• Ability to design and integrate HTTP APIs, application logic, relational schemas, SQL, and browser state.
• Understanding of authentication, authorization, validation, transactions, accessibility, secure coding, and error handling.
• Experience with automated tests, version control, code review, delivery pipelines, and production diagnostics.
• Judgment about layer boundaries, service contracts, migration safety, maintainability, and when specialist review is required.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end features spanning React interfaces, back-end services, APIs, and relational data.
• Typed client and service contracts, validation rules, authentication flows, and authorization checks.
• Schema migrations, queries, service logic, component state, and accessible user interactions.
• Automated tests across unit, component, integration, contract, and browser layers.
• Delivery automation, diagnostic logging, metrics, traces, and runbooks for owned features.
