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
