Senior fullstack engineer (react + django)

About The Job

Sitech is a digital product company with a global talent pool, specializing in product discovery,

innovative experience design, and custom software development. We partner with enterprises

and startups to build scalable, high-impact digital solutions.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our growing engineering team. You will

work across the entire stack — designing Django services that ingest high volumes of data

reliably, and building React micro-frontends that deliver a fast, accessible experience on top of

them.

This is a genuinely balanced role. We are looking for real depth on both sides, not a backend

engineer who can edit CSS or a frontend engineer who can write a view. You will collaborate

closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers on large-scale platforms,

including public-sector education systems where reliability, auditability, and reporting

performance are critical.

Key Responsibilities

Backend

• Design, develop, and maintain Django and Django REST Framework services and APIs.
• Build asynchronous data ingestion pipelines using Celery and a message broker,
  
  

decoupling ingestion from persistence so the system stays responsive under load.

• Own database performance: schema and index design, query optimization, aggregation
  
  

strategies, and materialized views for reporting endpoints that run over millions of

records.

• Ensure data integrity and full audit trails — no lost records, idempotent processing, and
  
  

correct handling of retries, failed tasks, and race conditions.

• Maintain a reproducible local environment with Docker and Docker Compose.
  
  

Frontend

• Design, develop, and maintain complex web applications using React.js and TypeScript.
• Translate UI/UX designs into high-quality, reusable, and responsive components.
• Build and maintain independently deployable micro-frontends, handling shared
  
  

dependencies, cross-app routing, and shared authentication.

• Build our new admin dashboard on Metabase, including data models, embedded
  
  

dashboards, permissions, and query performance.

• Optimize applications for speed, accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, and RTL
  
  

support.

Across the team

• Architect solutions with a focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Lead code reviews and uphold best practices across both stacks.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.
• Participate in technical discussions, sprint planning, and architectural decisions.
• Ensure high standards of code quality, testing, and documentation.
  
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production work on both
  
  

backend and frontend.

• Strong expertise in Python 3.10+, Django, and Django REST Framework, including
  
  

modern Python typing and PEP 8.

• Hands-on experience with Celery or an equivalent task queue, and with Redis or
  
  

RabbitMQ — including retries, idempotency, and failure handling.

• Solid relational database skills with PostgreSQL: reading query plans, choosing indexes,
  
  

and designing efficient queries for large datasets. Experience with MongoDB is a plus.

• Strong expertise in React.js, with proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5,
  
  

and CSS3.

• Solid experience with state management tools (Redux, Zustand, React Query, Context
  
  

API, etc.).

• Practical understanding of component-based and micro-frontend architecture, and of
  
  

modern frontend patterns.

• Experience working with RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks on both sides (pytest, Jest, React Testing Library).
• Comfortable with Docker, Docker Compose, and Git.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Hands-on Metabase experience, particularly embedded dashboards, sandboxed
  
  

permissions, and tuning slow queries.

• Open edX experience (micro-frontends, Tutor, Paragon, edx-platform) or another
  
  

large open-source Django platform.

• Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) and internationalization, including Arabic and RTL layouts.
• Delivery experience in public-sector or otherwise regulated environments.
• CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Observability practice — structured logging, tracing, and meaningful alerting.
• Monorepo tooling (Nx, Turborepo) and Storybook.
