About the position
ENVIRONMENT:
A cutting-edge AgriTech company is seeking an experienced Senior Full Stack Developer to drive the end-to-end development of their core AgriTech SaaS platform. In this role, you will bridge the gap between user-facing interfaces and backend infrastructure, taking full ownership of feature delivery from database design to UI implementation. They value pragmatic, sharp problem solvers who enjoy building scalable systems that bring tangible value to the agricultural sector. Beyond hands-on development, you will help lead architectural decisions, optimise cross-layer performance, and foster technical excellence across the engineering team.
DUTIES:
- Full-Stack Feature Ownership: Design, build, and maintain end-to-end applications across the full lifecycle, connecting Angular/Flutter frontends with Ruby on Rails backend APIs using GraphQL (main stack)
- Architecture & Performance: Lead architectural design for scalable frontend and backend systems, ensuring low latency, clean code separation, and efficient network communications.
- Data Strategy & Infrastructure: Manage full-lifecycle deployments on AWS and Heroku. Optimize relational databases (PostgreSQL), design efficient schemas, and research advanced storage concepts (e.g. hashing, sharding) and distributed ETL processing.
- UI/UX & Product Collaboration: Partner closely with UI/UX designers and product owners to translate complex user workflows into responsive, intuitive web and desktop interfaces (utilising Tailwind CSS).
- Technical Leadership & Culture: Conduct deep-dive R&D, maintain high engineering standards through code reviews and continuous CI/CD improvement, and mentor team members via workshops and collaborative technical discussions.
REQUIREMENTS:
Formal Qualifications
- Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Information Systems (or equivalent practical experience).
Knowledge, Skills & Experience
- They require that you have a passion for working in/learning the below, and proficiency is beneficial.
