Staff Engineer - Full Stack
On-siteChennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Job Summary
Architect and maintain scalable backend microservices and extensible REST APIs paired with intuitive, modular frontend application layers. Own the entire software development lifecycle from requirements gathering and data modeling to deployment, automation, and production support. Write clean, modular code optimized for browser rendering efficiency and database performance while ensuring systems meet 99.99% availability and multi-tenant fault tolerance standards. Troubleshoot complex full-stack performance bottlenecks and lead deep-dive code reviews to foster engineering excellence. Mentor 2–4 engineers on modern architectural patterns and SOLID design principles, translating product visions into resilient, modular designs. Collaborate closely with Product Managers, UI/UX designers, and Site Reliability Engineers to ship localized capabilities. Integrate generative AI tools into the daily development workflow to accelerate delivery without sacrificing technical depth.
