Role Overview
As an SDE-III at CUBE, you’ll play a pivotal role in architecting scalable solutions, guiding the engineering team, and owning the delivery of core product features. You’ll not only write production-grade code but also influence technical strategy, mentor SDE-I and SDE-II developers, and lead cross-functional initiatives. This role is ideal for someone ready to transition into a Tech Lead path while staying hands-on with code.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of complex product modules across the MERN stack
- Own critical system components — ensure scalability, fault-tolerance, and performance
- Review architecture decisions, PRs, and establish engineering standards and patterns
- Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to shape technical solutions
- Mentor and guide junior/mid-level engineers; foster a culture of learning and quality
- Drive system refactoring, API standardization, and engineering best practices
- Optimize data models and backend performance for large-scale multi-tenant systems
- Contribute to DevOps, deployment automation, observability, and incident resolution
- Work closely with founders and Engineering Manager on roadmap priorities and build-vs-buy decisions
Requirements
Must-Have:
- 6+ years of full-stack development experience with at least 4 years on the MERN stack
- Deep understanding of Node.js internals, scalable APIs, React component architecture
- Strong experience with MongoDB optimization, schema design, and performance tuning
- Proven ability to design scalable system architecture and multi-environment deployment
- Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD, Docker, or Kubernetes
- Solid understanding of security practices, testing strategies, and production monitoring
Nice to Have:
- Experience in leading teams or mentoring developers
- Exposure to SaaS multi-tenancy, RBAC, audit trails, or document management systems
- Familiarity with AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) or other cloud infrastructure
- Contributions to open source, tech talks, or engineering blogs
- Domain expertise in construction tech, AEC, or infrastructure platforms (bonus)
What We Offer
- Leadership opportunity in a product-led SaaS company solving real-world problems
- Autonomy, ownership, and the ability to influence technical and product strategy
- A high-performance culture with strong focus on engineering excellence
- Competitive compensation and performance bonuses
- Collaboration with a sharp, motivated team
