Senior Fullstack Engineer

Location: India
Department: Security & IT

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer based in India.

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and scaling a global SaaS platform that connects communities with volunteer opportunities and supports large-scale events and social initiatives. You will work across the frontend and backend to build reliable, high-performance applications using modern technologies, including Laravel, PHP, React, Next.js, and AWS. Collaborating with product, design, QA, and engineering teams, you will deliver customer-focused features while contributing to architectural evolution and engineering excellence. You will help advance a transition toward event-driven architecture and domain-driven development, with a strong focus on scalability, maintainability, and performance. You will also champion automated testing, accessibility, localization, and security-conscious development practices. This fully remote opportunity offers an environment where technical ownership, continuous learning, AI-assisted development, and collaborative problem-solving are highly valued.

Accountabilities

• Full-stack development: Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable product features across the frontend and backend using Laravel, PHP, React, Next.js, and other relevant technologies.
• API and integration development: Build and maintain robust APIs, third-party integrations, and reusable software components that support the platform's evolving business requirements.
• Architecture and technical evolution: Contribute to the platform's architectural improvements, including the transition toward event-driven architecture and domain-driven development, while supporting a modular monolith approach where appropriate.
• Cloud-native engineering: Develop and maintain applications within AWS-based environments, leveraging technologies such as Kubernetes (EKS), CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools to improve reliability and scalability.
• Database design and optimization: Design, implement, and optimize relational data models using Aurora MySQL, PostgreSQL, and related technologies to support performance, data integrity, and long-term growth.
• Quality engineering and testing: Establish and maintain effective test strategies, write unit tests, improve automated testing frameworks, monitor pipeline health, and proactively prevent regressions.
• Performance and reliability: Identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot complex issues, and continuously improve application performance, system stability, and overall software quality.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Product, Design, QA, and other engineering stakeholders to scope features, understand user needs, and deliver solutions that create measurable customer value.
• Technical leadership and mentorship: Lead by example through high-quality code, peer reviews, technical guidance, documentation, and knowledge sharing to strengthen engineering standards across the team.
• Engineering strategy and discovery: Participate in technical discovery, feature scoping, architectural discussions, and implementation planning, helping shape medium-term technical decisions and product direction.
• Accessibility and localization: Ensure the platform delivers accessible, inclusive, and localized experiences for users across multiple countries and regions.
• Security and compliance: Apply security-conscious engineering practices and support compliance requirements aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
• AI-assisted development: Use AI-powered coding assistants and automation tools to accelerate feature delivery, improve testing, and streamline development workflows. Where appropriate, contribute to AI-enhanced product experiences using large language model APIs and prompt design.
• Documentation and knowledge management: Maintain clear technical documentation covering code, architectural decisions, implementation details, and operational processes to support collaboration and long-term maintainability.
• Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to improve developer productivity, platform architecture, product quality, and engineering processes while taking ownership of technical challenges from discovery through delivery.

Requirements
