This is a full-time remote role for a Full-Stack Engineer based in Hyderabad. You'll build and maintain our web/app stack across frontend, backend, and database. Day to day you'll write clean TypeScript/JavaScript, design APIs and schemas, craft responsive UIs, and partner with founders to iterate quickly. You'll set up monitoring/logging, debug production issues, and optimize for performance, security, and scalability (pagination, caching, input validation, auth). You will also coordinate with third-party AI consultants/tools (e.g., code assistants and scaffolding generators) to accelerate delivery, while ensuring code quality, security, and IP compliance.

- Add telemetry (logs/metrics/health checks), investigate exceptions, and handle hotfixes.
- Optimize performance (pagination/caching, bundle trims) targeting p50 API
- Keep security tight: JWT + refresh, RBAC, input sanitization, and secrets management.
- Own key integrations: Razorpay, email/SMS, file/image uploads, and S3-style storage.
- Manage dev/stage/prod environments, simple Dockerization, and basic AWS deploys.
- Plan weekly work with founders, document decisions/runbooks, and report on KPIs (conversion, booking success, error rate, latency).
- Collaborate with third-party AI consultants: define deliverables, review AI-generated code, enforce standards, and integrate outputs safely (licensing, data handling, secret hygiene).

Qualifications

- 3-4 years shipping production apps end-to-end (frontend, backend, DB, deploy, and post-launch support).
- Frontend: React/Next.js + TypeScript, responsive UI, form/state mgmt, accessibility basics.
- Backend: Node.js (Express/Fastify), REST APIs, auth (JWT + refresh), input validation, rate-limiting.

- Monitoring/alerting: health checks, metrics, error tracking (e.g., Sentry/CloudWatch).
- Secrets management (.env/vault), least-privilege IAM, backups, and restore practice.
- AI collaboration: experience working with third-party AI dev partners/tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot/ChatGPT/Claude/Codeium), writing precise prompts/specs, reviewing AI code for security/performance, and ensuring license/IP compliance.
- Integrations: Payments (Razorpay/Stripe), email/SMS/WhatsApp providers, file/image uploads to S3-compatible storage.
