Role Summary

This is not a basic MERN stack role.

We are looking for a highly accountable MERN Stack developer with strong React expertise who will take ownership of frontend architecture, system integration, and delivery quality across web applications.

You will work in an AI-first development environment, where tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and AI-assisted debugging are mandatory in daily workflow.

Your primary focus is React development, but you are also expected to understand backend flow, API contracts, and system behaviour end-to-end.

Core Ownership

You Are Responsible For

• Frontend architecture and code quality
• UI performance and responsiveness
• API integration stability
• Consistency across screens and modules
• Preventing UI/logic-related production issues
• Ensuring what is built matches design and scope

If frontend issues affect user experience or delivery, it falls under your accountability.

React-Focused Responsibilities

• Build scalable and maintainable applications using React
• Implement structured component architecture
• Manage state using modern approaches (Context / Redux / Zustand or similar)
• Ensure reusable and clean component design
• Handle API integration and data flow
• Optimize rendering and performance
• Implement responsive UI across devices
• Ensure consistency with UI/UX designs

MERN & System Responsibilities

• Understand backend flow (Node.js / Express)
• Work with MongoDB data structures (basic level)
• Validate API responses and error handling
• Ensure frontend-backend integration stability
• Support debugging across layers when required

Operational & Delivery Responsibility

• Break down features into structured frontend tasks
• Estimate timelines realistically
• Maintain clean code and folder structure
• Follow strict Git workflow and version control
• Validate builds before QA handover
• Maintain proper documentation where required
• Communicate blockers early

AI-Integrated Responsibilities

• Use AI tools (Cursor, ChatGPT, AI coding assistants) daily
• Use AI for:
• Component structuring
• Code optimization
• Debugging assistance
• Performance improvement suggestions
• API integration validation
• Increase development speed using AI without reducing quality

AI usage is mandatory. Manual-only development is not acceptable.

Required Skills

• Strong expertise in React (Mandatory)
• Good knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+)
• Strong understanding of component-based architecture
• Experience with state management
• Experience integrating REST APIs
• Understanding of responsive design
• Basic knowledge of Node.js and Express
• Basic understanding of MongoDB
• Experience with Git
• Experience using AI coding tools like Cursor (Mandatory)
• Strong problem-solving skills
• Candidate must be from Kerala

Good to Have

• Experience with Next.js
• Knowledge of performance optimization techniques
• Basic understanding of UI/UX principles
• Experience with TypeScript

What This Role Is Not

• Not just converting designs to UI
• Not limited to writing components
• Not a task-based execution role

This is a frontend ownership and system responsibility role.

Ideal Candidate

• Strong focus on quality and structure
• Can think beyond UI into system behaviour
• Comfortable handling responsibility
• Able to manage multiple modules simultaneously
• Ready to work in a high-performance environment
