We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Developer to join our development team and work on a project of international scope. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to what will be built on a modern architecture that will deliver an outstanding user experience. The ideal candidate will be able to lead multiple projects simultaneously through to delivery. His or her desire to work in a team environment and his or her analytical and synthesizing skills will make him or her a colleague capable of moving things forward by proposing improvements on an ongoing basis.

Responsibilities

Here is what you can expect on a typical day or your first month with the organization:

• We start the day with a "scrum daily meeting". This allows us to provide the support needed to drive your goals for the day and align them with the team's goals;
• It's time to code! You can start by coding the solution that has been analyzed previously, which can be in the form of a "PoC". Are you confident enough? Go ahead and write a transfer request that you will present to your manager;
• You are ready for the team meeting - today the focus is on the user stories in the backlog. We need your expertise to ensure that deadlines are realistic and expectations will be met;
• It's time to code! One of our APIs is underperforming. However, it was 6 months ago! With your colleague, you look at the nodejs logs, the "events" in Sentry and the "flags" in Snyk. You have put your finger on the problem! Now it's time to plan a solution, estimate and implement it;
• node.js LTS has been updated, you take the initiative to migrate it and do the regression tests;
• A major UX bug has been added to the "Sprint" and you are assigned to it! You need to focus your energy on solving this problem. Once resolved, you realize that this feature was not covered by an E2E Cypress test suite, so you add it to your "PR";
• Have new ideas on how to run scripts faster and more efficiently?
• Present your ideas to your team, they will love it! And they will be implemented in the next sprints;
• You go from creating the "User Story" in order to optimize it, to adding it to the "backlog";
• It's time to reflect on what has been accomplished during the last months; we organize a retro sprint where we focus on two things: improving and having fun!
• After an analysis with your colleagues, you propose the idea of doing SSG instead of SSR, after which the scope project is prioritized and implemented.

Requirements

• At least 5 years experience in a similar role;
• Have a university degree in Computer Engineering or equivalent experience;
• Contribute to the definition and implementation of our solution architecture;
• Have extensive knowledge and experience in web development and optimization to deliver a high performance user experience;
• Have impeccable coding habits;
• Participate in code reviews to improve the team's skills;
• Experience with React.js and Next.js;
• Have a good command of CSS3, JS (TypeScript) and HTML5;
• Ability to use and develop API layers in REST and/or GraphQL;
• Integration process and continuous deployment (CI/CD);
• Implementation of automated tests and performance measurement;
• You understand the acronyms SSG and SSR previously used in the job description.
