• Design and optimise data models using PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases.
• Write, debug, and maintain unit and end-to-end tests to ensure reliability and maintainability.
• Utilise AI-powered tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) to enhance efficiency and automation.
• Lead and mentor engineers, providing guidance and code reviews.
• Conduct technical interviews and build technical assessments (e.g., on Coderbyte) to evaluate and hire new developers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions.
• Build automation scripts and integrate APIs, including Lever ATS and related systems.
• Improve tagging systems, data management, and development workflows.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience as a Full Stack Developer.
• 5+ years of UI/UX development, creating responsive and accessible web applications.

• 1+ year in unit testing, debugging, and end-to-end testing.
• 1 year of experience using AI-powered tools (Cursor, Copilot, or similar).
• 1+ year of team leadership or mentorship, including conducting technical interviews.
• Understanding of DevOps principles and CI/CD workflows.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to Have
