Senior FullStack Engineer

This role is ideal for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 4+ years of experience and strong expertise in React and scalable backend development (Kotlin/Spring Boot is a plus). It suits someone who can design complex scheduling systems, build high-performance interactive UIs (timelines, dashboards), and architect robust APIs and data models end-to-end. You should be comfortable owning architectural decisions, optimizing performance across the stack, working in CI/CD environments, and leveraging AI-assisted tools responsibly in a remote-first setup.

1. How would you design a system to automate staffing and resource allocation at scale?
   I would model availability, skills, and constraints explicitly in the data layer, design a scheduling engine that can handle conflicts and priorities, and expose it through clear APIs that power intuitive operational UIs.

2. How do you build high-performance interactive UIs such as timelines or real-time grids in React?
   I use virtualization for large datasets, memoization to prevent unnecessary re-renders, and efficient state management to ensure smooth interactions even with complex, frequently updating data.

3. How do you approach designing backend services for complex scheduling logic?
   I separate core scheduling algorithms from transport layers, apply clear domain-driven boundaries, and ensure business rules are well-tested and deterministic to avoid unexpected edge cases.

4. How do you optimize performance across the full stack?
   On the backend, I profile queries, add indexes, and reduce unnecessary data transfer. On the frontend, I minimize bundle size, control rendering cycles, and monitor real user performance metrics.

5. How do you design RESTful APIs that support evolving internal workflows?
   I use consistent resource modeling, versioning when needed, and clear request/response schemas to ensure APIs remain stable while allowing incremental evolution.

6. What architectural principles do you apply in scalable full-stack systems?
   I favor modular design, separation of concerns, clear service boundaries, and stateless services where possible, while keeping complexity proportional to business needs.

7. How do you ensure strong test coverage in a feature-rich system?
   I combine unit tests for business logic, integration tests for service interactions, and end-to-end tests for critical staffing flows to prevent regressions in high-impact areas.

8. How do you collaborate with Product and Design to digitize manual workflows?
   I first understand the manual process deeply, identify inefficiencies, and iteratively transform them into intuitive software experiences with continuous feedback loops.

9. How do you use AI-assisted development tools responsibly in production systems?
   I leverage them for scaffolding, refactoring ideas, and exploring solutions, but I validate logic, review generated code critically, and ensure architectural consistency.

10. How do you operate effectively in a remote-first, high-autonomy environment?
    I communicate proactively, document decisions clearly, manage my priorities independently, and ensure alignment with stakeholders through regular updates and measurable outcomes.
