About Company

The client is an early-stage, venture-backed clean-tech startup focused on making solar adoption simple for households and businesses. The engineering team builds web applications that streamline financing, installation, and monitoring of rooftop systems. With double-digit monthly growth and strong market tailwinds, the company prizes ownership, rapid experimentation, and data-driven decisions. You join a mission-driven organisation where technology delivers measurable climate impact.

Position Overview

You lead the platform that powers the client's customer and internal web experiences. You balance hands-on MERN coding with architectural ownership and mentoring duties, ensuring systems scale reliably as demand grows. You gain direct exposure to product, design, and leadership, owning critical projects from concept to production.

Role & Responsibilities

• You lead design and development of complex, scalable web applications with the MERN stack.
• You drive architectural decisions and set engineering best practices for performance, maintainability, and security.
• You own end-to-end delivery of critical projects, from planning through deployment and monitoring.
• You champion observability and monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog.
• You collaborate with Product, UX, QA, and DevOps to release user-focused features.
• You guide and mentor SDE1s and SDE2s and foster a culture of learning.
• You define and track engineering metrics such as uptime, latency, and code quality.
• You maintain technical documentation and architectural diagrams for knowledge sharing.
• You identify technical debt, scalability issues, and cloud cost-optimization opportunities.
• You advocate secure coding practices that meet OWASP standards and data protection policies.

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP plus Docker and Kubernetes.
• Solid knowledge of observability, monitoring, and alerting for production systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and performance tuning.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and system design skills.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and leading technical discussions in Agile teams.

Nice to Have

• Open-source contributions, technical blog posts, or speaking at engineering events.
• Experience optimizing cloud infrastructure costs and implementing robust security practices.
