Platform Science

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Software Engineer with expertise in cloud native full stack development (GCP, React, Node, NoSql) to join our dynamic team. You will be part of the team in designing, developing, and deploying robust, scalable, and high-performance software for high velocity fleet management solutions. You will collaborate with full stack teams to gather requirements, deliver technical solutions, work with an innovative mindset and ensure the successful delivery of projects. This role requires deep technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and a strong understanding of software engineering principles and best practices.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Architect scalable and maintainable solutions using modern web technologies, including React.js for the front-end and Node.js for the backend, with a focus on performance, security, and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate with third-party services, APIs, and data sources, ensuring seamless interoperability and data consistency.
• Implement responsive designs and ensure compatibility across various devices and browsers.
• Design and implement microfrontend architectures to modularize large-scale applications into smaller, independently deployable units.
• Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms for secure access to resources.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
• Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues to ensure smooth performance of applications.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and best practices in web development.
• Mentor and coach team members, providing guidance on technical design, coding standards, best practices, and professional development.

Experience:

• 8+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on React JS, Node.js and API development with 2 years of experience in senior technical roles.
• Proficiency in React JS, Node JS.
• Experience working with Material UI or Bootstrap.
• Experience with react state management libraries (e.g., Redux).
• Experience with front-end build tools, such as Webpack.
• In-depth knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and front-end languages.
• Strong understanding of NoSQL databases (e.g., ElasticSearch, mongoDb, firestore).
• Experience architecting and designing scalable, distributed systems with a cloud-based architecture (Preferably GCP).
• Solid understanding of microservices architecture and related technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Expertise in event-driven integration patterns, including event-driven messaging, pub/sub (publish/subscribe) messaging, and event-driven microservices communication, to enable loose coupling and interoperability between system components.
• Proficiency in utilizing frontend frameworks and libraries such as Module Federation to enable seamless integration and communication between micro frontends.
• Familiarity with techniques for managing shared state and data dependencies between micro frontends, such as centralized state management patterns (e.g., Redux, Context API) or event-driven communication.

Other Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively within a team and with stakeholders.
• Continuous learning mindset and willingness to explore and adopt new technologies.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor a team of software engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, and system architecture.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex technical challenges and develop innovative solutions.
