Job description

At 7G Media we are seeking a talented and motivated Full Stack Developer to join our dynamic team. If you are passionate about creating high-quality web applications and thrive in a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re Hiring: Lead Full-Stack & Platform Engineer

We are looking for a highly experienced, hands‑on software engineer who can work across application development, system architecture, databases, cloud platforms, DevOps and server infrastructure.

This role is for an expert programmer with strong analytical thinking, problem‑solving ability and more than 10 years of professional experience. We are not looking for someone limited to a single programming language, framework or platform. The successful candidate should be able to understand complex systems, learn unfamiliar technologies quickly and take complete ownership—from analysing a requirement and designing the solution to writing code, configuring servers, deploying applications and troubleshooting production issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain secure, scalable and high-performance web applications and enterprise platforms.
• Work across front-end, back-end, APIs, databases, infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
• Analyse complex technical requirements and convert them into practical, maintainable solutions.
• Develop and integrate applications using technologies such as .NET, Java, Liferay, Node.js, PHP and WordPress.
• Build modern front-end applications using Angular, React, Next.js, TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Design and implement REST APIs, microservices, third‑party integrations and authentication solutions.
• Configure, manage and troubleshoot Linux and Microsoft Windows servers.
• Work with NGINX, Apache, IIS, PHP‑FPM, application servers, load balancers, SSL certificates, DNS and networking configurations.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, environment configurations and rollback procedures.
• Work with relational and NoSQL databases, including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Oracle.
• Deploy and manage solutions across AWS, Microsoft Azure and on‑premises infrastructure.
• Convert Figma and design‑system specifications into responsive, accessible and reusable front‑end components.
• Build interfaces using semantic HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS and modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Optimise websites and applications for performance, accessibility, SEO and Core Web Vitals.
• Investigate production incidents, identify root causes and implement permanent solutions.
• Review code, improve development standards and support other developers in solving complex technical challenges.
• Coordinate with infrastructure, security, network, database, design and business teams.
• Own work end to end: requirement → architecture → code → deployment → monitoring → the 2 a.m. incident.

Required Experience and Skills

• More than 10 years of professional software development experience.
• Excellent programming fundamentals, data structures, logical thinking and debugging skills.
• Strong experience in system design, application architecture and enterprise development.
• Proven expertise in several of the following technologies: .NET and C#
• Java and Liferay
• Node.js and microservices
• PHP and WordPress
• Angular, React and Next.js
• JavaScript and TypeScript
• Strong knowledge of API design, integration patterns, authentication and application security.
• Hands‑on experience with Linux and Windows server administration.
• Experience with NGINX, Apache, IIS, SSL, DNS, networking and production server configurations.
• Experience with CI/CD, Git, deployment automation and environment management.
• Strong database design, optimisation and troubleshooting experience.
• Experience working with MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle or similar enterprise databases.
• Practical experience with AWS, Azure or hybrid cloud environments.
• Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility, Tailwind CSS and reusable front‑end architecture.
• Experience improving page performance, caching, scalability and Core Web Vitals.
• Ability to understand an existing codebase, even when it uses an unfamiliar technology.
• Ability to explain technical decisions clearly and communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

The Engineering Mindset We Expect

We are looking for someone who:

• Thinks before writing code.
• Understands the reason behind a solution, not only the syntax.
• Can independently investigate and solve difficult technical problems.
• Writes clean, secure, testable and maintainable code.
• Can move comfortably between application code, databases, servers and cloud infrastructure.
• Takes responsibility for the complete solution rather than only an assigned component.
• Continuously learns and adapts to new technologies.
• Can review architecture, challenge weak technical decisions and recommend better approaches.
• Remains calm and methodical while troubleshooting critical production issues.

AI-assisted development tools may be used to improve productivity, but the candidate must be able to independently design, write, review, explain, debug and maintain every solution. We are looking for an expert engineer—not someone dependent on generated code without understanding its architecture, security, performance or long‑term maintainability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on government, banking, financial or other enterprise‑grade platforms.
• Experience managing high‑traffic, bilingual or multilingual websites.
• Familiarity with WCAG accessibility standards and modern design systems.
• Experience with containerisation, Docker, Kubernetes, monitoring and observability tools.
• Understanding of high availability, disaster recovery, load balancing, backups and security hardening.
• Experience leading technical discussions, reviewing developers’ work and mentoring team members.

This is a hands‑on technical position. It is suitable for someone who can operate as a senior developer, solution architect, DevOps engineer and technical problem‑solver when required.

Candidates who have deep expertise in multiple areas and the ability to quickly master new technologies are encouraged to apply.
