🎯 Mission

You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping, building, and scaling the core platform that powers AirNxt’s next-gen aviation ERP. Your primary strength is backend engineering — designing APIs, services, and systems in Node.js — but you’re equally comfortable diving into React UIs to ship features end-to-end.

This isn’t a siloed role. You’ll work closely with PMs, designers, and engineers to take user stories from idea to production, while setting engineering standards, mentoring others, and making smart trade-offs between velocity and architecture.

⸻

🛠 What You’ll Do

• Design and develop scalable backend services and APIs using Node.js and NestJS

• Build and enhance web application interfaces using React (Web)

• Own end-to-end feature delivery — from DB schema to UI interactions

• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code across the stack

• Collaborate with product, design, and QA to break down features and deliver iteratively

• Guide architectural decisions across backend and frontend boundaries

• Review code, mentor engineers, and advocate for clean patterns and modularity

• Contribute to DevOps practices including CI/CD workflows, containerization, and environment configs

• Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve platform reliability

⸻

✅ You Should Have

• 8+ years of full stack software development experience

• Advanced backend engineering skills in Node.js, with strong grasp of architecture patterns

• Solid hands-on experience with React and frontend application design

• Ability to ship complete features across the stack independently

• Familiarity with microservices, API contracts, event-driven patterns, and real-time systems

• Experience with CI/CD tooling (Docker, Cloud Build, etc.)

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Bonus: GCP experience, aviation/ERP/logistics background, or exposure to high-compliance systems

⸻

🧬 Our Stack & Context

• Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Express, microservices

• Frontend: React Web

• Cloud: GCP (Pub/Sub, Firestore, Load Balancer, GKE)

• DevOps: Docker, CI/CD, scripts for environment provisioning

• Infra Challenges: real-time data, audit logs, cross-module data flow, mobile-friendly delivery

⸻

🌍 Culture Fit

• You move fast but sweat the right details

• You write code that’s clear today and adaptable tomorrow

• You collaborate generously, mentor naturally, and take ownership without handholding

• You don’t wait for tickets — you find the gaps and build the bridge

• You care deeply about developer experience, performance, and maintainability

⸻

🚀 Success in 90 Days

• You’ve shipped production-grade backend modules and supported UI features

• You’ve contributed to improving architecture patterns and onboarding docs

• You’ve unblocked other engineers and raised the bar in code reviews

• Platform modules are more testable, modular, and reliable

• You’re seen as a go-to partner for backend execution and full stack clarity
