They already have a working MVP and are now scaling into production pilot deployments and an enterprise-ready phase .
They’re looking for a full-stack engineer who can own product UI delivery (dashboards, workflows) while also being strong enough on APIs, data, and cloud fundamentals to contribute to platform hardening, integrations, and upcoming migrations.
What You’ll DoProduct & UI (Primary) Build and maintain the web app: React dashboards , workflow screens, configuration/admin interfaces Deliver high-quality UX: responsive layouts , consistent UI patterns, accessibility basics, and performance tuning Implement interactive data experiences: charts, tables, filters, drilldowns, exports APIs & Integrations (Core) Integrate with REST APIs and external services: auth flows, request/response mapping, error handling, retries, timeouts Contribute to API design patterns: consistency, pagination, versioning, idempotency, rate-limit awareness Build/maintain integration-heavy workflows: webhooks, event-driven patterns, background processing (where applicable) Enterprise Readiness (Strategic) Support platform hardening: auditability, reliability, security posture, operational readiness Contribute to data layer evolution and migration planning (e.
g., MongoDB → PostgreSQL ): schema thinking, migration strategy, integrity and performance considerations Support cloud migration readiness ( AWS/Azure ): environment management, secrets, deployments, observability basics Assist with edge/security tooling where relevant (e.
g., Cloudflare or equivalent) Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable) Strong React experience shipping SaaS product UI (dashboards/workflows), modern hooks patterns Strong JavaScript (ES6+) and professional engineering practices (Git, PRs, reviews) Confident integrating REST APIs in production: auth patterns (JWT/OAuth-style), robust loading/error states retries/timeouts, defensive programming, edge case handling Solid UI engineering capability: componentization, responsive CSS, UI consistency and polish Good backend fundamentals: can read/write server code, reason about data models, and collaborate on API contracts Strongly Preferred TypeScript (or strong willingness to work in a TS migration) Experience with a modern backend runtime (Node.
