Delivery Module Lead

Senior Full-Stack Engineer ×3

Headcount: 3 identical roles

• Level: Senior
  
  

What these people do

Three interchangeable senior engineers who collectively own all 19 backend modules, all 6 frontend portals, all adapter implementations, and all test coverage. Work is divided by domain area, not by technology layer — each engineer owns a domain end-to-end (backend module + matching portal + tests), eliminating handoffs.

• Implement and extend adapter interfaces (LlmAdapter, OcrAdapter, StorageAdapter, EmailAdapter, SmsAdapter) for assigned modules
• Add @ApiOperation, @ApiResponse, @ApiProperty decorators on all controllers — keeping the OpenAPI spec accurate and complete
• Implement Cerbos RBAC + ABAC policy calls within modules (authority limits, separation of duties, jurisdiction checks)
• Maintain prisma/schema.prisma models for owned modules in coordination with the Tech Lead
• Write Vitest unit tests and Supertest integration tests achieving agreed coverage targets
  
  

Frontend (React 19

• TanStack Query

• Run openapi-typescript / orval after backend spec changes to regenerate generated/types.ts and generated/api-client.ts
• Implement Zustand stores for UI state within owned portals (sidebar state, filters, modals)
• Write Vitest component tests and Playwright E2E tests for owned portal flows
• Maintain WCAG 2.1 AA compliance within owned portals; integrate axe-core checks
  
  

Cross-Cutting
