📋 Description

• Own and contribute to architecture and development across Agency Module, Billing, and Affiliate systems, driving technical excellence across frontend and backend services. • Design and implement robust backend APIs for subscription management, payments, invoicing, and affiliate tracking, using test-driven development and scalable distributed patterns (caching, messaging, queuing). • Deliver performant frontend experiences for agency onboarding, billing dashboards, and affiliate management using modern frameworks and component-driven architecture with strong state management principles. • Architect secure integrations with third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe) and internal microservices, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance in all financial transactions. • Implement and maintain observability, logging, and monitoring to ensure high availability and rapid incident resolution across critical billing and agency workflows. • Champion platform security and compliance by enforcing best practices across authentication, authorization, data protection, and rate-limiting — ensuring the integrity of sensitive financial and user data. • Leverage LLMs and AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, automate testing, refactoring, and documentation, while maintaining strong reliability guardrails. • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Managers, Designers, and other Engineering teams to ensure alignment between business goals and technical architecture. • Participate in technical reviews, deep dives, and on-call rotations, fostering a culture of accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and scaling robust backend systems and high-performance frontend applications. • Strong backend engineering and distributed system design skills, with hands-on experience in API development, data modeling, and systems architecture using Node.js (NestJS preferred), TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis. • Expertise in backend performance optimization, caching strategies, and event-driven architectures (e.g., Redis, Kafka, Pub/Sub). • Familiar with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular), advanced UI engineering patterns, and CSS libraries like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS. • Advanced experience with complex state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Vuex, MobX) and architectural design of large-scale application state. • Proven track record of optimizing frontend performance and web vitals at scale, including experience with server-side rendering (SSR), edge, or hybrid rendering architectures. • Familiarity with frontend and backend observability - including monitoring, tracing, error tracking, and performance profiling in production (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry, PostHog). • Strong understanding of security best practices across the full stack—including authentication, authorization, access control, secure data flow, and privacy compliance. • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, able to drive complex initiatives, lead technical discussions, and mentor junior engineers.
