Senior Full Stack Engineer Workflow - name

About the Role

We're seeking an exceptional Senior Full-stack Engineer to take part in the ground-up rebuild of our LottieFiles Platform - a digital asset management and collaboration platform serving thousands of users worldwide. This is a rare opportunity to build a greenfield application from scratch, making foundational technical decisions that will impact our platform for the next 5+ years.

As a senior full stack engineer, you'll be responsible for both hands-on development and architectural discussions with the team leadership. You'll work with modern frontend and backend technologies while leveraging your expertise in systems-level programming to optimize performance-critical operations.

This role is perfect for engineers who thrive at the intersection of elegant frontend experiences and high-performance backend systems - someone who can build beautiful UIs while also optimizing the hot paths that handle operations at scale.

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Participate in shaping the technical vision for rebuilding our asset management platform from scratch
• Design centralized data architecture with direct database integration and shared business logic reusable across SSR and future GraphQL.
• Make critical architectural decisions including tech stack selection, state management patterns, data layer design, and performance optimization strategies.
• Ensure future-proof architecture compatible with GraphQL migration while optimizing for immediate SSR performance
• Define coding standards and best practices for the team, ensuring maintainable, scalable code
• Collaborate with product and design teams to translate requirements into technical specifications

Full-stack Development

Frontend

• Optimize bundle size, lazy loading, and code splitting for <1s Time to Interactive

Backend Integration

• Build a shared business logic layer reusable across multiple service boundaries and rendering contexts
• Design database schema and ORM integration
• Develop background job processing systems for asynchronous workflows

Performance-Critical Systems (Rust/Zig)

• Design and optimize performance-critical operations using systems-level programming and worker-based architectures to keep heavy processing off the main thread
• Implement WASM modules for browser-based file processing with near-native performance
• Build batch processing systems capable of handling large-scale concurrent oper
