Software Engineer – Javascript / TypeScript | React | 3–6 Years | Backend Exposure

We are looking for a strong Software Engineer with deep frontend expertise in React and JavaScript/TypeScript, along with practical experience working on backend systems and APIs.

This is a frontend-heavy engineering role, where you will build production-grade web applications, contribute to frontend architecture and performance, and own features end-to-end. The ideal candidate should also be comfortable working across the backend when required — building or modifying APIs, working with Node.js or another backend stack, databases, authentication and debugging issues across the application stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and deliver scalable, production-grade web applications using React, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Own meaningful features and modules end-to-end, from technical design through development, testing, deployment and production support.
• Contribute to frontend architecture, component design, performance optimisation and scalability.
• Build, integrate and modify APIs and backend services as required.
• Work with Node.js or other backend technologies, databases and authentication systems.
• Debug and resolve issues across frontend and backend systems.
• Write clean, maintainable and well-tested production code.
• Participate in architecture and technical design discussions.
• Work closely with product, design and engineering teams to deliver robust solutions.
• Take ownership of production issues, perform root-cause analysis and implement sustainable fixes.
• Work independently with limited hand-holding and drive features to completion.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3–6 years of relevant software engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on expertise in React, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Strong understanding of modern frontend architecture and web application development.
• Experience with frontend performance optimisation and production debugging.
• Practical experience working with REST APIs and backend services.
• Exposure to Node.js or another backend technology.
• Working knowledge of databases, authentication and server-side development.
• Experience debugging issues across both frontend and backend.
• Good understanding of testing practices and production engineering.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on ownership and execution.

Relevant Experience

Candidates with experience in the following areas will be particularly relevant:

• High-scale consumer applications
• Real-time systems
• WebViews
• SDKs
• Payments
• Gaming
• Advertising / monetisation
• Feeds and recommendation systems
• Experimentation platforms
• Analytics

What We Value

We are looking for engineers who:

• Have personally owned meaningful features or modules.
• Can explain the technical decisions behind what they have built.
• Have worked on production systems, not just development environments.
• Can troubleshoot issues across the frontend and backend.
• Understand performance, scalability and reliability considerations.
• Follow good testing and engineering practices.
• Demonstrate strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Can operate independently and take ownership with limited hand-holding.
