Company: People10

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

People10 is looking for an experienced Lead Full Stack Developer with 6+ years of hands-on development experience in ReactJS, Node.js, and database technologies. The ideal candidate combines strong engineering depth with solution-architecture judgment — someone comfortable owning technical design decisions, cloud and security posture, and system-level API integrations, not just writing code.

The candidate must have previously played a technical leadership or team lead role, with the ability to guide developers, drive technical decisions, ensure code quality, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.

Career Path

As a Lead Full Stack Developer, you will have opportunities to grow into roles such as Principal Engineer, Solution Architect, Engineering Manager, or broader techno-functional leadership streams.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of developers, provide technical guidance, conduct code reviews, and promote engineering best practices.
• Solution Architecture: Own application architecture and technical design decisions — scalability, security, integration patterns, and long-term maintainability.
• Full Stack Development: Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable web applications using ReactJS, Node.js, and modern development frameworks.
• Frontend Development: Build responsive, high-performance, and reusable UI components using ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
• Backend Development: Develop RESTful APIs, backend services, and business logic using Node.js and suitable frameworks such as Express.js.
• API Integration: Design and oversee integration with external/third-party REST APIs, ensuring reliable, secure, and well-governed data exchange.
• Database Management: Design, develop, and optimize database schemas, queries, and data models using SQL and/or NoSQL databases.
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Guide cloud architecture and deployment decisions, balancing scalability, cost, and operational simplicity.
• Security: Embed authentication, authorization, and data-protection practices into the architecture from the outset, not as an afterthought.
• Code Quality: Ensure clean, maintainable, reusable, and well-documented code through code reviews, automated testing, and established coding standards.
• Project Delivery: Collaborate with product managers, business analysts, QA engineers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver solutions on time.
• Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve technical issues, performance bottlenecks, and production defects.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with emerging technologies, development tools, and industry best practices.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or similar.
• Experience in database design, query optimization, and data modeling.
• Demonstrated experience in solution architecture — making and owning system-level design decisions.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms and application security best practices (authentication, authorization, data protection).
• Prior experience in a Lead Developer, Technical Lead, or equivalent leadership role, with demonstrated ownership of technical deliverables.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
• Experience with Git and collaborative version control workflows.
• Knowledge of unit testing, integration testing, debugging, and performance optimization.
