Senior Full Stack Developer / Lead Engineer (AI-Native, AWS Scale)
Location: Mumbai
Experience: 7+ Years
Employment Type: Full-time
About the Role
We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Full Stack Developer who is not just a strong engineer, but an AI-native builder—someone who actively leverages modern AI coding tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, or similar platforms to accelerate engineering productivity, code quality, testing, and architecture decisions.
This role requires deep backend engineering expertise in Golang or Node.js, strong frontend capabilities in React.js / Next.js, and hands-on cloud architecture experience in AWS at scale.
The ideal candidate has built and optimized production-grade systems handling scale, performance bottlenecks, distributed architectures, and cloud cost optimization.
