You’ll set up monitoring / logging, debug production issues, and optimize for performance, security, and scalability (pagination, caching, input validation, auth). You will also coordinate with third-party AI consultants / tools (e.g., code assistants and scaffolding generators) to accelerate delivery, while ensuring code quality, security, and IP compliance.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Build core flows : provider onboarding → listings / search → booking → payments → notifications.

Design / document REST APIs, DB schemas / migrations, and lightweight admin / seed tools.

Ship responsive React + TypeScript UIs (forms, validation, accessible components).

Maintain tests (unit / integration), small PRs, and basic CI; review code within 24 hours.

Add telemetry (logs / metrics / health checks), investigate exceptions, and handle hotfixes.

Optimize performance (pagination / caching, bundle trims) targeting p50 API Keep security tight : JWT + refresh, RBAC, input sanitization, and secrets management.

Own key integrations : Razorpay, email / SMS, file / image uploads, and S3-style storage.

Manage dev / stage / prod environments, simple Dockerization, and basic AWS deploys.

Plan weekly work with founders, document decisions / runbooks, and report on KPIs (conversion, booking success, error rate, latency).

Collaborate with third-party AI consultants : define deliverables, review AI-generated code, enforce standards, and integrate outputs safely (licensing, data handling, secret hygiene).
