• End-to-End Delivery: Take ownership of full features, handling the database schema, API development, and UI implementation.
• Frontend Development: Build accessible, high-performance interfaces using Next.js 14+ (App Router). You will be responsible for choosing the correct rendering strategy (Server vs. Client Components).
• Backend Development: Develop scalable APIs using NestJS. You will work on database modeling and query optimization.
• System Architecture: Maintain code quality by adhering to Clean Architecture or Modular Monolith patterns.
• Database Design: Assist in restructuring the database, which requires a solid understanding of normalization and table relationships.

Frontend

• Framework: Strong proficiency in React.js and Next.js (App Router). You must understand the data flow differences between Server and Client Components.
• Styling: Experience with Tailwind CSS (v4 experience is a plus).
• UI Libraries: Familiarity with headless UI libraries like shadcn/ui or Radix UI to build structured, accessible components.
• Design System: Ability to implement and maintain a design system (tokens, variables) rather than using hard-coded styles.

Backend & Data

• Framework: Proficiency in Node.js and NestJS.
• Database: Experience with PostgreSQL.
• Data Modeling: You must be able to read, draw, and optimize Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD). Understanding database normalization is mandatory.
• Vector Database: Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., pgvector, LanceDB, Weaviate) or understanding of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) concepts.

Tools & Workflow: AI-Assisted Development: Proficiency in using AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery. Crucially, you must understand and review every line of code generated—we value efficiency, not blind reliance.

Mindset & Work Ethic

• Product-Oriented: You don‘t just complete tickets; you understand the user‘s problem. You question requirements if they don‘t make sense for the product.
• Attention to Detail: You spot edge cases and potential bugs before they reach QA. You care about data integrity and UI consistency.
• Outcome-Focused: You prioritize shipping working software over over-engineering. You understand that clean code is a means to an end, not the end itself.
• Independent & High Agency: You are a self-starter. When you hit a blocker, you research solutions and propose alternatives rather than waiting for instructions.
• Curiosity: You genuinely enjoy figuring out how things work, from database internals to new framework features.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Monorepo tools (e.g., Turborepo).
• Experience with Headless CMS (Payload CMS or Strapi).
• Knowledge of Authentication/Authorization flows (Keycloak, Custom JWT, OAuth2).
• Understanding of state management strategies (URL state vs. Global Store like Zustand).
