Your Role at Pathfinder

As a Full Stack Developer, you'll be primarily responsible for architecting and developing the platform that will be our interface with the outside world. You'll develop the platform end-to-end such that it is a reflection of who we are, our core capabilities and what we have to offer to the early stage startups. 

What You’ll do

• Own the entire platform end-to-end. Develop and enhance our website and client dashboards.
• Convert UX/UI designs into modular, reusable and scalable components using Next.js and React.js 
• Ensure applications are fully responsive and the visuals adapt to all resolutions, cross-browser and cross-device compatible. 
• Optimize performance (lazy-loading, code-splitting) to reduce load times. 
• Build backend systems, database that support CRUD operations. 
• Develop database schemas, stored procedures, and queries using Notion or any other database systems. 
• Maintain version-control workflows using Git, branch strategies and pull requests.
• Stay abreast of emerging trends and propose improvements to our stack.
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers to translate design mockups and wireframes into responsive, pixel-perfect web applications.

You’ll thrive here if you

• 2-5 years’ hands-on experience in full stack development. 
• Strong proficiency in React.js and Next.js frameworks. 
• Solid understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5 and CSS3.
• Ability to design the UI from scratch without using pre-existing CSS libraries.
• Proven ability to debug complex issues and optimize performance.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written.
• Strong problem-solving aptitude and attention to detail.

Good to Have

• Experience with server-side rendering and static/dynamic site generation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Jenkins) 
• Basic understanding of backend technologies (Node.js, Express) 
• Experience in performance prowling (Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools) 

Working Style

We value speed, precision, and reliability in execution. To thrive here, you’ll bring:

• Operator Mindset – Ability to think from multiple perspectives and execute diligently. 
• Detail Discipline – Exhibit attention to detail, coherence and rigour in work.
• Adaptive Creativity – Look beyond the obvious and bring your individual flavour in your work.
• Builder's Accountability - When something breaks in production, you own it through resolution. You don't pass the bug.
• Documentation Habit – You write code others can read, and you leave context behind you (Example - comments).
