Key Responsibilities:
Architecture & Design
Define and implement end-to-end architecture for complex web applications using React.js, Node.js, and Next.js.
Establish design patterns, coding standards, and best practices across front-end and back-end development.
Lead architecture reviews, performance assessments, and scalability planning.
Design systems for high availability, fault tolerance, and performance optimization.
Development & Technical Leadership
Provide hands-on technical leadership by building critical components and guiding engineering teams.
Drive Next.js server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API integration strategies.
Optimize React.js components for maximum performance and usability.
Architect and develop RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Node.js.
Evaluate and integrate modern libraries, frameworks, and cloud-native solutions.
Collaboration & Mentorship
Collaborate with Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, and DevOps engineers to align architecture with business needs.
Mentor engineers on scalable system design, clean code principles, and performance optimization.
Support code reviews, architectural decisions, and technical documentation.
DevOps, Cloud & Security
Define CI/CD pipelines for smooth deployment of web applications.
Ensure secure coding practices, authentication/authorization (OAuth, JWT, SSO), and data protection standards.
Collaborate with cloud teams (AWS/Azure/GCP) to deploy and scale applications efficiently.
Implement monitoring, logging, and observability frameworks for production systems.
