Fullstack Developer

As a Full Stack Developer, you will work on both front-end and back-end technologies to build, maintain, and optimize applications and services. You will leverage AWS cloud services to ensure scalability, performance, and reliability. This is an excellent opportunity for a developer with 1-2 years of experience to grow their skills and contribute to meaningful projects.

Location: Edappally, Kochi, Kerala

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain both front-end and back-end web applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
• Build and deploy applications using AWS.
• Write clean, scalable, and efficient code while ensuring optimal performance.
• Perform troubleshooting and debugging of existing applications and services.
• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure best practices and code quality.
• Stay updated with the latest trends in full-stack development and AWS cloud technologies.

Technical Skills & Requirements:

Front-End Development:

• React.js/Next.js: Advanced proficiency for creating dynamic, responsive, and SEO-optimized interfaces.
• TypeScript: Strong typing and maintainability for large projects.
• HTML5, CSS3, SASS/LESS: Expertise in semantic markup and styling with pre-processors.
• JavaScript (ES6+): Proficiency in modern JavaScript features.
• Front-End Performance Optimization: Techniques like lazy loading, image optimization, and efficient rendering.

Back-End Development:

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js, ensuring they are scalable and efficient.
• Leverage GraphQL to optimize data fetching in large-scale applications, ensuring performance and responsiveness.
• Design and manage complex database schemas in MySQL or PostgreSQL (relational databases).
• Implement NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Redis to support high scalability and caching mechanisms for enhanced performance.
• Develop and manage headless CMS solutions (Strapi, Contentful, or custom-built) for content management and delivery.
• Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms, including OAuth2, JWT, and session management systems to secure applications.

React.js/Next.js for Front-End Development

• React.js: Used to build user interfaces that are dynamic and highly responsive. Reacts component-based architecture allows for efficient rendering and updates of parts of the UI when data changes.
• Next.js: Extends React by adding features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API routes. Its especially useful for building SEO-friendly applications and handling server-side logic directly in React applications.
• Static Site Generation (SSG) and Server-Side Rendering (SSR) are key for improving web performance and SEO.
• API Routes in Next.js allow for serverless functions to handle backend requests directly within the framework.

Node.js/Express.js for Back-End Development

• Node.js: A JavaScript runtime used for building scalable, event-driven applications. It allows you to use JavaScript on both the front-end and back-end, leading to a unified development experience.
• Express.js: A web application framework for Node.js that simplifies routing and middleware integration. Express helps in building RESTful APIs and managing HTTP requests easily.
• Used for creating server-side logic, routing, and managing the application flow for APIs, databases, etc.
• RESTful APIs and integration with front-end services.

Microservices Architecture

• Microservices: A software architecture where an application is broken into smaller, independently deployable services. Each service typically handles a specific business functionality and communicates over APIs.
• Scalability: Microservices allow for independent scaling of specific services based on demand, which is essential in high-traffic environments.
• Resilience: By decoupling services, you reduce the risk of a single point of failure.
• Tech stack: Could include tools like Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and tools for API management.

High-Traffic Environments

• Load Balancing: Distributing traffic efficiently to different instances of your services to ensure no single server or instance becomes overwhelmed.
• Caching: Using caching mechanisms like Redis to speed up responses by storing frequently requested data.
• Asynchronous Processing: Implementing job queues (e.g., using tools like RabbitMQ or Kafka) to offload long-running tasks and handle them asynchronously, ensuring the main application remains responsive.

Dynamic, Real-Time Content Solutions

• Live Feeds (RSS, WebSockets):
• RSS (Really Simple Syndication): A method to deliver live updates of dynamic content, commonly used for news, blogs, and notifications. Implementing an RSS feed generator or consumer to handle real-time content delivery.
• WebSockets: A protocol for two-way communication between client and server, which is essential for real-time updates (such as notifications, live chats, and dashboards).
• Automated Workflows:
• This could involve using event-driven systems to trigger automated processes based on certain events (e.g., a new user signs up, a payment is made, etc.).
• Integrating services such as AWS Lambda for serverless execution of these tasks or Apache Kafka for stream processing.

Key Skills and Technologies:

• Front-End: React.js, Next.js, Redux, CSS-in-JS (styled-components), and front-end testing tools like Jest or React Testing Library.
• Back-End: Node.js, Express.js, RESTful APIs, JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication, and database integration with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or others.
• Microservices: Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, API Gateway, Service Mesh (e.g., Istio), and CI/CD pipelines for deployment.
• Real-Time Solutions: WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE), GraphQL subscriptions.
• Cloud Platforms: AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda), Azure, or GCP for infrastructure scaling and service management.
