Build, Modernize, and Lead

Tired of maintenance roles that drain your soul? At JayWay, you’ll take ownership of our core MERN-based platform and transform it into a modern, scalable architecture. This is your chance to leave a tangible impact on an application used worldwide.

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Full-Stack JavaScript Developer who thrives on refactoring legacy systems, optimizing performance, and introducing modern best practices. Here, your ideas matter, your expertise shapes our technical roadmap, and your work is visible every day.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lead the Modernization: Rebuild, refactor, and future-proof a long-standing MERN application.
  • Shape Architecture: Make key decisions about Node.js, MongoDB, React, and the upcoming Vue.js transition.
  • Optimize & Scale: Solve performance bottlenecks, tune databases, and stabilize the stack.
  • Mentor & Influence: Help your teammates grow, set standards, and shape our technical culture.
  • See Your Impact: Work in a small, autonomous team where your contributions matter.

Your Toolbox

  • Must-Have: Node.js, React, MongoDB, Express.js, TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines, Agile workflows.
  • Bonus Points: Vue.js experience, leading small teams, refactoring legacy codebases, and AI-assisted development tools.

What You’ll Do

  • Modernize & Refactor: Incrementally rebuild and optimize our MERN stack.
  • Database Mastery: Lead MongoDB improvements—query tuning, schema design, indexing, performance optimization.
  • Boost Stability & Performance: Identify bottlenecks across the stack and implement robust solutions.
  • Upgrade & Align: Replace outdated libraries, refine CI/CD pipelines, and enforce best practices.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Produce clear documentation and support handovers.
  • Build New Features: Collaborate on both legacy improvements and new functionality.
  • Influence Roadmap: Shape technical decisions and modernization priorities.
  • Mentor & Lead: Guide teammates, influence hiring, and foster a strong technical culture.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience: 5+ years in full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript development.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Strong Node.js & React experience; willingness to lead Vue.js adoption.
    • Deep MongoDB expertise (query optimization, indexing, schema design).
    • Proven track record in refactoring and stabilizing complex legacy systems.
    • Performance tuning across the full stack.
  • Collaboration: Clear, pragmatic communicator in English; confident in remote teamwork.
  • DevOps & Workflow: CI/CD, testing frameworks, Agile practices.

Bonus:

  • Mentorship or team leadership experience.
  • Exposure to AI-assisted development tools or integrating AI into applications.

Why Join JayWay?

  • Learn & Grow: Training, certifications, mentorship, and exposure to cutting-edge tech.
  • Global Collaboration: Work with diverse teams across 20+ countries.
  • Autonomy: Influence architecture, roadmap, and best practices.
  • Wellbeing & Comfort: Home office setup, health programs, and ergonomic support.
  • Recognition: Performance-based rewards, bonuses, and company-wide acknowledgment.
