Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Full-Stack Developer to drive the evolution of our proprietary central orchestration platform. In this role, you will bridge the gap between practical user experience and powerful server-side logic, helping us scale the internal tooling that enables our teams to operate more effectively and competitively.
The ideal candidate has a keen eye for UI execution, a proven "feel" for UX, and strong engineering fundamentals. You will translate complex management requirements into user-friendly, responsive interfaces while building high-performance APIs, robust bi-directional integrations, and automated workflows.
Key Responsibilities
Frontend Architecture & UI Execution
- Develop, implement, and maintain robust, responsive, and intuitive web applications using ReactJS and TypeScript.
- Utilize Material Design libraries (MUI) to build a consistent, professional, and highly functional internal toolkit.
- Design and manage scalable design systems to ensure consistency across internal tooling projects.
- Optimize frontend performance and scalability, ensuring the interface remains 100% stable, intuitive, and high-performing.
- Develop and maintain robust server-side logic (utilizing PHP/Symfony as our core platform language), ensuring high performance, responsiveness, and reliability.
- Design, implement, and document secure RESTful APIs and Web Services that adhere to industry standards.
- Build and maintain complex, bi-directional data syncs across our enterprise stack (including Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, and other custom internal tooling) to secure "One Source of Truth" across project data.
- Work with database systems, driving setup, maintenance, query optimization, and structuring.
- Evolve core platform features to meet adapting business needs, including time-tracking modules, timesheet approval workflows, and advanced data validation.
- Integrate AI-driven features like agentic workflows to automate internal processes and scale operational efficiency.
- Focus on reducing "gap time friction" and automating manual workflows to accelerate business velocity and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
- Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve complex full-stack issues, bottlenecks, and performance bugs.
- Provide technical guidance, documentation, and support to the wider Monk community on the platform’s capabilities.
Qualifications
- Experience: 3-5+ years of professional full-stack web development experience.
- Backend Expertise: Strong backend development background. Experience with PHP and MVC frameworks (such as Symfony) is highly preferred; however, we are fully open to strong engineers from other language ecosystems who are willing to quickly adapt, leveraging AI-assisted coding and development tools to bridge any syntax gaps.
- Integration & APIs: Proven experience in REST API design, Web Services, and integrating third-party APIs (including authentication protocols like OAuth).
- Cloud & DevOps: Familiarity with modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization/virtualization tools (e.g., Docker).
- Curiosity-First Mindset: You don’t wait for a manual; you play, break things, and ask "What if?" to adopt new tools and workflows.
- Collaboration: Experience working effectively in agile development environments (Scrum/Kanban). Excellent communication and alignment skills.
- Language: Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
Technical Skills
- Frontend Tooling: Familiarity with modern frontend build tools and UI frameworks/libraries (e.g., TailwindCSS, Styled Components, Material UI, Vite).
- Testing: Experience with full-stack testing practices and frameworks (e.g., Vitest, Jest, Playwright).
- Databases: Proficiency with database technologies such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL or NoSQL databases.
- CI/CD & Infrastructure: Knowledge of DevOps practices, Git version control, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Security: Strong understanding of security principles and best practices in web application development (OWASP, data privacy, secure authentication).
Bonus Skills
- Experience with ERP and CRM integrations, specifically NetSuite and Salesforce.
- Familiarity with design tools such as
