Full Stack Developer

TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS, Microservices, AWS, Eventing, Caching

Role Summary

We are seeking a Full Stack Engineer to build and operate modern web applications and microservices. This role spans both frontend and backend delivery using TypeScript. You will design and implement scalable services, build event-driven workflows using message brokers, and apply caching strategies to improve performance and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Full Stack Delivery (TypeScript-first)

● Deliver end-to-end features across NestJs, Next.js/React and Node.js services using TypeScript.

● Develop shared libraries and enforce clean module boundaries within an Nx monorepo (apps and libs).

● Design and maintain well-structured API contracts (REST and/or GraphQL), including validation, pagination, and versioning.

● Write unit and integration tests and participate in peer reviews to maintain high engineering standards.

Backend and Microservices

● Design and implement microservices with clear domain boundaries and independent deployment considerations.

● Apply resilience patterns (timeouts, retries with backoff, circuit breakers) and safe inter-service communication.

● Implement idempotency, request correlation, and operational diagnostics to support production-grade services.

Message Brokers and Event-Driven Architecture

● Build event-driven workflows using Kafka, RabbitMQ, and/or AWS SQS/SNS.

● Define message contracts and schema versioning strategies; manage ordering, retries, and consumer scaling.

● Design dead-letter handling (DLQs), replay strategies, and at-least-once processing safeguards (including idempotent consumers).

● Instrument producers and consumers with meaningful logs, metrics, and traces to support observability and incident response.

Caching and Performance

● Implement caching strategies across the stack (server-side caching, distributed caching, CDN caching, and query optimization).

● Define cache policies (TTL, invalidation, consistency expectations) and measure impact via performance metrics.

● Optimize application performance using effective database indexing, query tuning, and API payload design.

Frontend (Next.js)

● Build responsive and accessible UIs using React and Next.js best practices.

● Use appropriate rendering strategies (SSR/SSG/ISR where applicable) and implement effective caching headers and data-fetching patterns.

● Collaborate with product and design stakeholders to deliver a consistent and high-quality user experience.

Cloud, Containerization, and Operations

● Develop and operate services on AWS following security and reliability best practices.

● Containerize applications using Docker and deploy/operate workloads on Kubernetes.

● Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and production readiness (monitoring, alerting, runbooks).

● Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventative improvements.

Required Qualifications (Must Have)

● Strong professional experience with TypeScript across both frontend and backend.

● Hands-on experience with Nx monorepos, including workspace structure, shared libraries, boundary enforcement, and build/test workflows.

● Strong experience with React and Next.js for production applications.

● Strong experience building backend services with Node.js.

● Proven experience designing and operating microservices in production.

● Production experience with message brokers/eventing using Kafka, RabbitMQ, and/or AWS SQS/SNS, including retries and DLQs, schema/versioning, and idempotent processing.

● Production experience implementing caching strategies (e.g., cache-aside patterns, TTL/invalidation, distributed cache such as Redis, and/or CDN caching).

● Strong database experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, performance tuning) and MongoDB (document modeling, indexing).

● Hands-on experience with AWS fundamentals (IAM basics, networking concepts, core compute/storage services).

● Hands-on experience with Docker and practical experience operating services on Kubernetes.

● Strong testing discipline (unit and integration tests), code review participation, and clear technical communication.

Preferred Qualifications

● Infrastructure-as-Code experience (e.g., Terraform) and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD).

● Observability experience (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch).

● Experience with distributed systems patterns (sagas, outbox pattern, eventual consistency).

● Experience designing secure authorization models (RBAC/ABAC) and API gateway patterns.
