We are looking for a deeply passionate and dedicated developer from India or a neighboring country to become a core part of our team. You'll be working directly with the founders of a popular, rapidly expanding SaaS company that is gaining significant traction. This is a unique opportunity to build with cutting-edge AI, directly influence our product, and have a real stake in our success. While we can't offer a premium Silicon Valley salary, we provide a competitive local package, immense learning opportunities, and meaningful incentive options for the right person who is ready to build something remarkable with us.

Tasks

  • Developing and maintaining our core platform, built on a Node.js monorepo using Nx.
  • Building and iterating on user-facing features using modern technologies like Next.js, modern TypeScript, and Shadcn UI.

  • Proficiency in TypeScript and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable code.
  • A natural talent for UX and layout. You don't need to be a professional designer, but you must have a strong intuition for what makes a great user experience.
  • A genuine passion for learning and a desire to work with cutting-edge technologies, including AI.
  • The ability to work independently and take initiative in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment.
  • Exceptional ability to make an impact and a drive to see your work translate into company success.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Benefits

  • Direct Impact: As a core member of our team, your work will directly influence the future of our product and company.

🎯 Who is this job for?

This role is ideal for a Middle-level Full-Stack Engineer with strong skills in Node.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. The candidate should have experience in building intuitive UIs, working with monorepos (Nx), and be eager to integrate AI tools like Claude into their workflow.

πŸ’¬ Potential Interview Questions

  1. What is Nx, and how does it help manage a Node.js monorepo?
    Nx is a build system and monorepo manager that helps organize and scale full-stack projects by enabling modular code, efficient builds, and integrated testing.

  2. How does server-side rendering (SSR) work in Next.js, and when would you use it?
    SSR renders pages on the server at request time, providing better SEO and faster first load. It's ideal for dynamic content that needs to be indexed or updated frequently.

  3. What are some best practices when working with TypeScript in a full-stack environment?
    Use strict typing, shared types between backend and frontend, interfaces for API contracts, and avoid any to maintain consistency and catch bugs early.

  4. How would you ensure an excellent user experience (UX) in a Next.js application?
    Focus on fast load times, intuitive navigation, responsive design, and accessibility. Tools like Shadcn UI help maintain consistent and elegant design systems.

  5. Explain how you would integrate an AI tool like Claude into a SaaS application.
    Use Claude’s API to process user input, generate responses, or assist with tasks (e.g., scheduling or summaries), ensuring data privacy and efficient UX integration.

  6. What are the benefits of using a monorepo for a SaaS platform?
    It improves code reuse, simplifies dependency management, enables better testing strategies, and streamlines CI/CD processes across services.

  7. How do you handle state management in large Next.js applications?
    Use React Context for local state, and libraries like Zustand, Redux, or React Query for global or async state, depending on the complexity.

  8. Describe your approach to writing clean and maintainable TypeScript code.
    Follow SOLID principles, modular design, consistent naming, code linting (ESLint), formatting (Prettier), and thorough typing with interfaces and enums.

  9. What is your strategy for deploying a Node.js/Next.js application to production?
    Use Docker or serverless platforms (e.g., Vercel for frontend, Railway/Render for backend), CI/CD pipelines, environment variable management, and monitoring tools.

  10. How do you keep up with the latest advancements in AI and web development?
    Follow trusted sources (e.g., GitHub, newsletters, Twitter), experiment with new tools in side projects, and actively participate in communities or tech talks.
