If you're excited about problem-solving and working on tools developers love, this role is for you.

• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code following best practices and coding standards.

• Integrate RESTful or GraphQL APIs and handle client-server communication securely.

• Implement CI/CD pipelines and collaborate with DevOps for deployment and monitoring.

• Write automated unit and integration tests to ensure code reliability.

• Work closely with UX/UI designers, product managers, and other developers to define and deliver quality features.

• Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize performance across the stack.

• Stay up to date with new tools and technologies relevant to the role, especially within the Appwrite ecosystem.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in full stack development.

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, or other modern web languages.

• Hands-on experience with backend platforms or services, including setup, API integration, database management, and serverless/cloud functions.

• Proficiency in at least one modern frontend framework: React, Vue.js, or Angular.

• Experience with Node.js, Express, or similar backend runtimes.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, serverless environments, and container orchestration (optional but a plus).

• Experience with Git/GitHub and agile development workflows.

• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT), and security best practices.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset.
