Senior full-stack engineer to own the production platform end-to-end and lead the architectural decisions that let us scale 10× — bookings, payments, search and reliability — without a rewrite.
About the role Fhresh is the modern marketplace for hair, beauty and wellness.
We’re at the stage where the platform needs an owner who can keep the lights on AND make the architecture decisions that let us 10× traffic, listings and bookings without a rewrite.
This role is that owner.
You will be responsible end-to-end for the production platform: shipping product features, hardening the booking and payments hot path, tuning database performance, evolving our multi-tenant data model, owning observability and on-call, and gradually pulling apart the monolith where (and only where) scale demands it.
What you’ll do Ship product features end-to-end across a modern, server-rendered Type Script web stack — from data model to UI.
Own the data layer: schema design, migrations on live data, indexing strategy, query plans, connection pooling, partitioning and read-replica strategy as we grow.
Own payments end-to-end — marketplace flows, subscriptions, webhooks, idempotency, refunds, payouts, dispute handling and reconciliation.
Own auth and multi-tenancy — row-level access controls, role-based access (customer / business / admin), session and middleware hardening.
Scale the booking and search hot path — availability calculation, rate limiting, caching, on-demand revalidation, edge vs. server trade-offs, search latency and ranking.
Run reliability — SLOs, structured logs, alerting, uptime and error budgets, on-call rotation as the team grows.
Keep CI/CD honest — preview deployments, focused test coverage on critical paths, migrations as code, environment hygiene.
Security idempotency patterns.
Distributed rate limiting and caching with Redis or equivalent.
Component-system thinking and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA).
Exposure to AI/LLM features (we have an in-product assistant, "Orion AI").
Benefits Competitive salary with meaningful equity.
Remote-friendly with optional co-working stipend. 28 days paid leave + public holidays.
Private health cover, generous parental leave.
Annual learning conference travel where it makes sense.
Hardware of your choice.
Quarterly team off-sites. #J-18808-Ljbffr
