Testing & Engineering Quality

* Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Jest, Mocha, PyTest, Cypress, or similar frameworks * Maintain high automated test coverage and engineering quality standards * Conduct peer code reviews and enforce clean coding practices * Troubleshoot production issues and performance bottlenecks efficiently

Monitoring, Reliability & Security

* Monitor systems using Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar tools * Implement logging, alerting, and observability best practices * Apply secure coding principles aligned with OWASP Top 10 standards * Ensure systems comply with GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, or other relevant compliance requirements * Support uptime, resiliency, and disaster recovery initiatives

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

* Collaborate with product managers and designers to turn requirements into scalable technical solutions * Lead technical discussions and contribute to architecture planning * Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, guidance, and pairing * Contribute to long-term technical roadmaps and engineering standards * Participate actively in sprint ceremonies, planning, and technical estimation

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

* Strong full-stack engineer capable of owning features end-to-end * Experienced in scaling systems and improving infrastructure reliability * Hands-on problem solver who thrives in technical environments * Strong communicator who collaborates effectively across teams * Balances rapid execution with maintainable architecture and code quality * Passionate about mentoring and improving engineering culture

Required Experience & Skills

* 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience * Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript with React and Node.js * Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB) * Hands-on cloud deployment experience using AWS, GCP, or Azure * Strong understanding of Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines * Experience building APIs, scalable applications, and production systems * Strong debugging, optimization, and troubleshooting skills

Ideal Experience & Skills

* Experience leading architecture reviews and technical design sessions * Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) * Background building SaaS or high-traffic applications * Experience with microservices, event-driven systems, or serverless architectures * Familiarity with Kubernetes orchestration and distributed systems * Exposure to observability, performance engineering, and cloud cost optimization

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

A Senior Full Stack Software Engineer’s day revolves around building features, improving infrastructure, and ensuring system reliability. You will:

• Join standups and align with engineering and product teams on sprint priorities
• Build full-stack features across APIs, databases, and front-end interfaces
• Review pull requests and mentor engineers through technical feedback
• Investigate and resolve bugs, outages, and performance bottlenecks
• Collaborate with product managers and designers on implementation strategies and UX flows
• Deploy updates through CI/CD pipelines and monitor infrastructure health
• Contribute to technical planning, architecture decisions, and platform improvements

In essence: you are both a hands-on builder and technical leader, ensuring systems remain scalable, reliable, secure, and continuously improving.

Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)

* Features delivered on time and aligned with technical specifications * Application uptime 99.9% * High code quality and maintainable architecture standards * Automated test coverage maintained at 80% * Reduced technical debt and improved platform reliability * Fast resolution of production issues and infrastructure incidents * Positive peer feedback and successful mentoring of junior engineers

Interview Process

* Initial Phone Screen * Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter * Technical Assessment (Full Stack Exercise or Architecture Case Study) * Client Interview(s) with Engineering Team * Offer & Background Verification
