Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who is highly proficient with NextJS, TypeScript, and modern web technologies. This role focuses heavily on rapid prototyping, fast iteration, and building production-quality internal and external web applications. You will own the development of dashboards, admin panels, consumer-facing interfaces, and experimental tools used across the company. You will also be responsible for taking product and AI-driven concepts and turning them into working prototypes within days — not weeks — to validate ideas, improve user experience, and accelerate product development. This is a role with high autonomy and high impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop fast, scalable web applications using NextJS, React, and TypeScript.
• Rapidly prototype new ideas and product concepts to validate hypotheses.
• Build and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and admin systems.
• Build polished external-facing features for the Etera platform.
• Work closely with design and product teams to implement high-quality, responsive UIs.
• Integrate backend logic, APIs, and microservices to power frontend features.
• Optimize performance, loading times, and user experience.
• Implement modern development patterns including server components, SSR/SSG, edge functions, and API routes.
• Work with TailwindCSS and shared component systems to maintain high UI consistency.
• Ensure code quality, maintainability, and scalability while iterating quickly.
• Take ownership of features from ideation to deployment with minimal supervision.
• Move fast — delivering features, improvements, and prototypes at high velocity.
• Own and shape the Frontend of a category-defining AI product.
• Work on a complex, real-world Web Application that blends data, AI, and product logic.
• High autonomy and trust — you build it, you own it.
• Collaborate with a strong product and frontend team in a fast-moving environment.
• Work from a modern Dubai office and be part of building something ambitious, technically deep, and globally impactful.

Qualifications

• 5+ years professional experience as a full-stack or frontend engineer.
• Deep expertise in NextJS (including App Router, Server Components, and modern React features).
• Expert-level TypeScript and strong understanding of type-safe architectures.
• Strong experience building both internal tools and user-facing web apps.
• Proficiency with React, TailwindCSS, component systems, and reusable UI patterns.
• Strong understanding of web performance, caching, SSR/SSG, and bundling.
• Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate on ideas with minimal direction.
• Experience integrating APIs, microservices, and data pipelines.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-velocity engineering culture.
• Strong proficiency with Git and team-based workflows.
• Strong attention to UI/UX details.
• Based in Dubai or willing to relocate (preferred).

Nice to Have

• Experience with NextJS middleware, edge runtimes, or Vercel hosting.
• Backend experience with NodeJS, Bun, or serverless functions.
• Experience building design systems or working with Storybook.
• Familiarity with AI-driven products or integrating LLM features.
• Experience in rapid-experimentation environments or startup prototyping culture.
