Full Stack Engineer

The Role

We are looking for a Full Stack Developer who works the way modern engineers do: using AI coding tools (LLMs) extensively for coding, debugging, testing and problem-solving, while taking full ownership of code quality, correctness and security.

We value someone who can read, question, test and improve what the AI produces, and solve problems from first principles when the AI gets it wrong.

What You Will Do

• Build and improve features across our React front end and Laravel / Python back end.
• Design clean REST APIs and build fast, usable interfaces for data-heavy screens (large tables, filters, search, pagination).
• Write and optimise MySQL schemas, indexes and queries for large financial datasets.
• Build background jobs, data-processing scripts and integrations in Python.
• Use AI tools daily, reviewing every AI-generated change as carefully as a colleague's pull request.
• Write tests, take part in code reviews, and help keep the codebase secure and maintainable.

Must-Have Skills

• React.js: Solid command of Hooks, component design and state management; TailwindCSS or a similar CSS framework for responsive layouts.
• One strong backend: PHP (Laravel) or Python (Django / Pandas). Comfortable designing and consuming REST APIs.
• MySQL: Schema design, indexing and query optimisation including explaining why queries are slow and how to fix them.
• Fundamentals: HTTP, async behaviour, authentication, and common security issues (SQL injection, XSS, secrets handling).
• Working knowledge of Git and code review practices.

Good to Have

• Both Laravel and Python experience as we use both technologies.
• Redis or other caching layers.
• Deploying and running apps on Linux servers or AWS.
• Experience with data-heavy or analytics / fin-tech products.
• Tamil-speaking candidates based in Chennai are preferred.

Experience and Education

• Minimum 1 year of experience building web applications with React and Laravel or Python.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
