As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will own features end-to-end across the stack from React/TypeScript consumer ticketing experiences through to the Laravel/PHP services and APIs that power them. You will work on high-traffic, production-grade systems where correctness on critical paths genuinely matters, while mentoring other engineers and contributing to technical direction.
Key Responsibilities
- Own features end-to-end across frontend and backend from design to production for consumer ticketing experiences: event discovery, seat selection, cart, and checkout flows.
- Build and maintain React + TypeScript frontends alongside Laravel / PHP backend services, including the REST APIs that connect them.
- Own high-risk paths payments, coupons, wallets, rewards, seat holds, OTP/auth with the testing, security, and error-handling rigor they demand.
- Develop shared domain libraries (ticketing, payments, auth) consumed across every app your changes ripple platform-wide.
- Architect and optimize database schemas, caching, and performance strategies across SQL/NoSQL and MongoDB.
- Design, secure, and scale RESTful APIs and backend workflows for high traffic.
- Contribute to the internal design system and component library, and ship white-label ticketing sites for partners (sports clubs, motorsport, venues) from shared templates.
- Troubleshoot production issues and improve system reliability and observability.
- Review code, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and raise overall engineering quality.
- Contribute to technical documentation and architecture diagrams, and collaborate with Product, QA, and Operations on sprint and roadmap execution.
Tech Stack
Frontend: Modern React + TypeScript in a large monorepo, built primarily on Vite (with some Next.js apps). Tailwind CSS with a shared component library for UI, and i18next with full Arabic / RTL support. Testing with Vitest and React Testing Library.
Backend: Laravel / PHP, MongoDB and other SQL/NoSQL databases, RESTful JSON APIs, and cloud platforms. Observability and analytics through standard industry tooling.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree
- 5+ years building production web applications, with substantial hands‑on experience across both frontend and backend.
- Strong experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, with 5+ years delivering in agile teams, working closely with Product Owners and Delivery Leads
- Strong React + TypeScript skills, including solid server-state management, caching, invalidation, optimistic updates.
- Strong PHP / Laravel skills with a deep understanding of REST API design and security.
- Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including designing schemas and data flows.
- Strong Tailwind CSS skills and comfort working within a component/design system rather than ad‑hoc styling.
- A high‑signal testing mindset: you write tests that catch real regressions in critical flows (checkout, cart, auth), not coverage padding.
- Proven experience owning features end-to-end on production‑scale systems.
- Clean Git/PR habits and the ability to work within architectural constraints in a shared codebase.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Strongly Preferred
- Experience in a monorepo (Turborepo, Nx, or Yarn/PNPM workspaces).
- Internationalization and RTL (Arabic) experience.
- Familiarity with payments / e-commerce checkout complexity (payment methods, coupons, wallets, totals/VAT, refunds).
- Experience building or maintaining a shared component library and Storybook.
- Comfort with both Vite and Next.js patterns; awareness of framework-agnostic library design.
- Accessibility fundamentals (semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard nav).
- Experience with caching, performance tuning, and scalability.
- Hands‑on cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Docker / container-based deployments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment workflows.
- Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools.
