About the Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Developer who will design, build, and manage applications for our clients end to end. You'll work across the stack — from database schema to API design to frontend UX — and you'll be expected to use modern development tooling, including LLM-assisted development, to work faster and smarter without compromising code quality.

- Design and manage relational databases using MySQL and PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and migrations
- Deploy, monitor, and manage applications on AWS
- Use LLM-powered tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your regular development workflow — for scaffolding, code review, debugging, test generation, and documentation
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and participate in code reviews




- Collaborate directly with client stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions
- Own applications post-launch — bug fixes, feature enhancements, performance tuning, and ongoing support
- Contribute to architecture and technical decisions across projects
- Maintain documentation for systems you build and manage

Required Skills & Experience

- 2–3 years of professional experience in full-stack web development
- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js and ReactJS
- Proficiency in Python for backend/scripting work

- Robust SQL skills with MySQL and PostgreSQL — schema design, indexing, query optimization
- Comfort working across the full stack, from database to deployment
- Practical experience using modern AI/LLM developer tools in daily coding workflows
- Solid understanding of REST API design and integration • Familiarity with Git-based version control and CI/CD workflows
- Ability to work directly with clients and manage multiple engagements

Nice to Have

- Experience with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK)
- Exposure to TypeScript
- Experience in a client-services / consulting environment
- Familiarity with QA/testing practices and tools (given our QA services background)
