🎯 Mission
You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping, building, and scaling the core platform that powers AirNxt’s next-gen aviation ERP. Your primary strength is backend engineering — designing APIs, services, and systems in Node.js — but you’re equally comfortable diving into React UIs to ship features end-to-end.
This isn’t a siloed role. You’ll work closely with PMs, designers, and engineers to take user stories from idea to production, while setting engineering standards, mentoring others, and making smart trade-offs between velocity and architecture.
⸻
🛠 What You’ll Do
- Design and develop scalable backend services and APIs using Node.js and NestJS
- Build and enhance web application interfaces using React (Web)
- Own end-to-end feature delivery — from DB schema to UI interactions
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code across the stack
- Collaborate with product, design, and QA to break down features and deliver iteratively
- Guide architectural decisions across backend and frontend boundaries
- Review code, mentor engineers, and advocate for clean patterns and modularity
- Contribute to DevOps practices including CI/CD workflows, containerization, and environment configs
- Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve platform reliability
✅ You Should Have
- 8+ years of full stack software development experience
- Advanced backend engineering skills in Node.js, with strong grasp of architecture patterns
- Solid hands-on experience with React and frontend application design
- Ability to ship complete features across the stack independently
- Familiarity with microservices, API contracts, event-driven patterns, and real-time systems
- Experience with CI/CD tooling (Docker, Cloud Build, etc.)
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Bonus: GCP experience, aviation/ERP/logistics background, or exposure to high-compliance systems
🧬 Our Stack & Context
- Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Express, microservices
- Frontend: React Web
- Cloud: GCP (Pub/Sub, Firestore, Load Balancer, GKE)
- DevOps: Docker, CI/CD, scripts for environment provisioning
- Infra Challenges: real-time data, audit logs, cross-module data flow, mobile-friendly delivery
🌍 Culture Fit
- You move fast but sweat the right details
- You write code that’s clear today and adaptable tomorrow
- You collaborate generously, mentor naturally, and take ownership without handholding
- You don’t wait for tickets — you find the gaps and build the bridge
- You care deeply about developer experience, performance, and maintainability
🚀 Success in 90 Days
- You’ve shipped production-grade backend modules and supported UI features
- You’ve contributed to improving architecture patterns and onboarding docs
- You’ve unblocked other engineers and raised the bar in code reviews
- Platform modules are more testable, modular, and reliable
- You’re seen as a go-to partner for backend execution and full stack clarity
