Full Stack Engineer (Remote)

Prolucent is looking for a talented Full Stack Engineer to join our team. This is a full-time position with competitive pay. The ideal candidate is strongest in React and NextJS, carries real competency in Laravel, and is comfortable following a feature from a component all the way down to the query that feeds it. Exposure to containerized orchestration, ElasticSearch and common CI/CD techniques is a bonus.

This position sits across the stack. The front end is React and NextJS with Tailwind, backed by a Laravel application and existing cloud deployed databases and infrastructure. The weight of the role is on the front end and on the seam between the two - the API contracts, the model and service logic behind them, and the queries underneath. The Full Stack Engineer will also contribute to our growing React-driven design system, which is shared with our React Native mobile application.

A key requirement for this position is the ability to go beyond frameworks and understand the core concepts underneath - our organization favors first principles. Our expectation is for engineers to be able to determine when crafting a bespoke solution for our environment is appropriate versus adding a new dependency for a single feature. The same applies on the backend: you should be able to design an optimal query by hand and recognize when an ORM is quietly doing something expensive.

The Full Stack Engineer will be given the freedom to set your own schedule and won't be micromanaged; however, you must be able to keep up the pace with the other developers. Our interview process will provide more insight into the things that are important to our success.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Builds and maintains features across the stack - React and NextJS front ends, and the Laravel services, models and endpoints that back them
• Supports software and web application architecture development, requirements' analysis, process execution and evaluation
• Designs and implements REST endpoints and the service and model logic behind them, including migrations, queues and background jobs
• Writes and tunes SQL against MySQL/MariaDB with large data sets, and be able to explain why a query performs the way it does
• Contributes composable components to our React design system, and consume it rather than reinventing it
• Interacts with internal stakeholders and the development team to gather and define requirements
• Designs, creates, tests and maintains software and web based applications and content solutions to meet defined requirements
• Engineers and maintains software and web development technical documentation to assist with maintenance and upgrades
• Contributes to software process management and configuration management throughout the software/web development lifecycle using modern cloud technologies such as GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Docker and AWS
• Integrates with a team of like-minded, eager, high-energy developers

Minimum Requirements:

• Solid understanding of React, Typescript, or similar modern JavaScript framework, and the ability to reason about rendering rather than guess at it
• Working competency in Laravel, or a comparable MVC framework you can map onto it (Symfony, Rails, Django, Spring) - routing, ORM and query builder, migrations, queues, jobs and testing
• Solid PHP fundamentals and standard Object Oriented Programming paradigms
• Strong understanding of microservice architecture and of designing and consuming REST APIs, including where service boundaries belong
• Understanding of composable components, and advanced React or frontend design paradigms such as memoization, resource optimization, and performance considerations
• Experience with MySQL/MariaDB and large data sets - you should be able to write optimal SQL by hand instead of relying on an ORM
• Strong UI/UX skills - should be able to write reusable and dynamic components
• Working familiarity with containerized environments - you should be able to run our stack locally, read a Dockerfile or compose file, and triage or debug a pipeline failure when you hit one. You do not have to own that pipeline
• Strong work ethic - able to work self-guided and on a team
• Excellent written and spoken English skills; proficiency in the English language is required
• Experience with Agile development

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with NextJS and Tailwind, including rendering strategy and where the boundary between server and client actually falls
• Experience with a headless CMS such as Sanity.io
• Understanding of ElasticSearch best practices & architecture
• Experience with caching and queue infrastructure such as Redis, and with background job processing at volume
• Exposure to PHPUnit, Pest, Jest, Cypress, Playwright, Mocha or similar testing solutions
• Experience with DevOps tooling, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker or GitHub Actions
• Proficient in Linux/Unix OS
• Exposure to React Native, and to the constraints a shared design system has to satisfy on a device
• Exposure to observability and logging tooling, and the instinct to instrument before guessing
