Core Stack: Modern JavaScript (React/Vue/Node.js), PHP/Python/Ruby, and Cloud Infrastructure.
We are looking for a Senior Web Developer to lead the development of scalable, high-performance web applications. You won’t just be executing tickets; you will be designing the blueprints. The ideal candidate has survived multiple tech-stack evolutions and knows when to use a cutting-edge framework and when to stick to a battle-tested solution. You will bridge the gap between complex backend logic and seamless frontend user experiences.
Architecture & Design: Design and implement robust, scalable, and maintainable web applications and APIs.
Performance Tuning: Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the frontend (Core Web Vitals) and backend (query optimization, caching strategies).
Code Governance: Lead code reviews, establish linting standards, and maintain comprehensive documentation to ensure long-term code health.
Security First: Implement best practices for data protection (OWASP Top 10), authentication (OAuth/JWT), and secure API integrations.
Mentorship: Guide junior and mid-level developers through architectural decisions and complex debugging sessions.
| Category | Expectation for 8+ Years Experience |
| Frontend | Mastery of React, Vue, or Angular; expert-level CSS/SASS (Grid/Flexbox); deep understanding of SSR vs. CSR. |
| Backend | Proficiency in Node.js, Python (Django/FastAPI), or PHP (Laravel); experience building RESTful and GraphQL APIs. |
| Database | Advanced schema design in PostgreSQL/MySQL; experience with NoSQL (MongoDB/Redis) and indexing strategies. |
| DevOps/Cloud | Hands-on experience with AWS/Azure, Docker, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), and Kubernetes. |
| Architecture | Understanding of Microservices vs. Monoliths, Design Patterns (SOLID), and “clean code” principles. |
Experience: 8+ years in professional web development, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead capacity.
Problem Solving: A proven track record of migrating legacy systems or scaling applications to handle high traffic volumes.
Communication: The ability to explain technical debt, trade-offs, and architectural choices to non-technical stakeholders.
Interview Tip: Ask them to describe a “technical debt” nightmare they inherited and how they strategically dismantled it without breaking the production environment. This reveals their patience and pragmatic approach to engineering.
