Full-Stack Engineer Job Description

We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to build features end to end, from the user interface to the API and the database. You will take a problem from a short description to a working release, making sensible trade-offs along the way. You will work closely with product and design in a small, autonomous team where each engineer owns the result and not only one layer.

Responsibilities

• Design and build user interfaces and the APIs and services behind them
• Model data and write efficient queries and migrations
• Turn product requirements into technical solutions and break them into deliverable steps
• Write automated tests at the appropriate levels and keep the build green
• Review code and give constructive feedback to teammates
• Investigate and fix bugs across the whole stack, including in production
• Improve performance, accessibility and security of the application
• Contribute to deployment, monitoring and incident follow-up
• Document technical decisions and keep the shared codebase easy to work in
• Collaborate with product and design to refine scope and propose simpler alternatives

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience building web applications
• Solid command of JavaScript or TypeScript and of a modern front-end framework such as React, Vue or Angular
• Experience building back-end services with Node.js or an equivalent language and framework
• Good knowledge of relational databases and SQL
• Experience designing and consuming REST or GraphQL APIs
• Working knowledge of Git, code review and continuous integration
• Ability to work independently and to communicate clearly with non-technical colleagues

Nice to Have

• Experience deploying to a cloud platform and using containers
• Familiarity with server-side rendering frameworks
• Experience with authentication standards such as OAuth
• Experience in a startup or a small product team
