FULL STACK DEVELOPER

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Full Stack Developer to join our team. In this ole, you will lead the transition of our existing ERP modules from Core PHP to Laravel and Node.js. You will be responsible for both the technical vision and the hands-on development, ensuring a smooth and efficient migration while mentoring junior developers.

RESPONSIBILITIES & REQUIREMENTS

Lead Migration

• The Team Lead must first perform a comprehensive audit of the existing Core PHP system.This involves understanding its architecture, data models, and business logic.The next step is to strategically plan the migration, which may involve a phased approach.Instead of a big switchover, the Team Lead must migrate one module at a time.The new system will be built using Laravel for the back- end(handling database interactions, business logic, and APIs) and Node.js for the front- end(creating a responsive user interface that interacts with the Laravel back - end via APIs). He or She will also be responsible for ensuring data integrity throughout this process.

Designing, Developing and Maintaining Applications:

• This responsibility covers the full software development lifecycle. The Team Lead will be responsible for writing clean, efficient, and well-documented code for both the front-end and back-end. At the back-end, they'll use Laravel's features like Eloquent ORM for database queries and the built-in authentication system. On the front-end, they'll use Node.js and a modern framework (like React or Vue.js) to build a scalable and easy-to-use interface. The emphasis here is on robust, scalable, and secure. This means building applications that can handle increased user load, are easily maintainable, and are protected from common security threats.

Architect and Implement:

• The Team Lead will be responsible for designing the structure of new features and modules. This includes creating database schemas, defining API endpoints, and planning the user experience. They must ensure that new features fit seamlessly into the overall ERP system's architecture without creating technical debt. The Team Lead will be creating the blueprints before the developers start building.

Manage and mentor:

• Manage and mentor a team of developers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and support. This involves delegating tasks to team members based on their skills and experience. It also includes conducting regular code reviews to ensure quality, consistency, and adherence to best practices. A key part of mentoring is providing constructive feedback and helping team members grow their skills, turning a group of individual developers into a cohesive and high performing team.

Collaborating with Stakeholders:

• The Team Lead serves as a crucial link between the technical team and the rest of the company (e.g., finance, HR, sales). They must be able to translate business requirements into technical specifications. For example, when a manager says, we need a report on monthly sales, the Team Lead must translate that into a technical plan for a new database query, an API endpoint, and a front-end component. This requires strong communication and a deep understanding of the business domain.

Ensuring Code Quality:

• Code quality is paramount for a long-term project like an ERP system. The Team Lead must establish and enforce coding standards and best practices. A critical part of this is implementing a testing strategy. This includes unit tests (testing individual functions), integration tests (testing how different parts of the system work together), and end-to-end tests (simulating a user's workflow). This proactive approach helps catch bugs early and ensures the system remains stable as it evolves

Troubleshooting and Resolving Issues:

• Legacy systems often have hidden complexities and performance issues. The Team Lead must be proficient in identifying and resolving these problems. This could involve debugging an obscure error in the Core PHP code, optimizing a slow database query in Laravel, or fixing a front-end rendering issue. The ability to quickly and effectively troubleshoot is crucial to minimize downtime and keep business operations running smoothly.

EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE & SKILLS REQUIRED:

• Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer, with a strong portfolio of projects
• Bachelor?s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Expert-level proficiency in Laravel and Node.js
• Strong command of a modern front-end framework like React, Vue.js, or Angular. Since Node.js is often used in conjunction with these, the candidate should be able to build cohesive, single-page application (SPA) that consumes back-end APIs
• Extensive experience with Core PHP and a deep understanding of its architecture to effectively plan the migration. A thorough understanding of the existing Core PHP codebase is essential. The candidate must be able to read and understand the old code to effectively translate its logic into the new Laravel framework
• Proficiency in database design and management (MySQL or PostgreSQL). The candidate should be able to migrate the existing database, write complex queries, and optimize performance.
• RESTful APIs: The ability to design and build clean, well-documented RESTful APIs that the front-end application will use to interact with the database and business logic.
• Security: Knowledge of web security best practices, including protecting against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team.
• Strong leadership abilities and a track record of mentoring junior developers.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
