Senior Full Stack Developer (React / Next.js)
Summary
Build and scale a multi-tenant digital twin platform using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, handling CMS-driven content, large media assets, and cross-platform UIs across cloud and on-prem deployments.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain complex, data-driven UIs in React and Next.js, including CMS-driven layouts and dynamic content blocks that scale across products, tenants, and deployments.
- Optimize frontend performance for media-heavy and data-heavy applications.
- Collaborate with UX and UI designers to translate designs into fast, intuitive, accessible experiences.
- Ensure responsiveness and correct behavior across kiosk, large-format LED, desktop, and tablet form factors.
- Design and extend Payload CMS collections, access control, and content models, plus the REST and GraphQL APIs that support content and configuration.
- Collaborate on data modeling, schema design, system architecture, and integration patterns.
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested TypeScript with an eye toward long-term platform evolution.
- Design or extend infrastructure as code (AWS CDK) to build immutable infrastructure deployable both in AWS and as constrained on-prem installations.
- Work within an Nx-based, pnpm-managed monorepo, collaborating across frontend, backend, and shared libraries.
- Participate in architectural discussions around data flow, caching, multi-tenancy, environment separation, and cloud-versus-on-prem deployment.
- Review code, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar on code quality and system design.
- Help improve developer tooling, workflows, and CI/CD over time.
Core (what you will work in daily)
- Frontend: React 19, Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, nuqs for URL state.
- CMS and Backend: Payload CMS 3 (headless, Next-native) with a multi-tenant architecture, role-based access control, and 25+ content collections. REST, GraphQL, and Local APIs.
- Data: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM and Drizzle Kit migrations; S3 plus CloudFront for media delivery.
- Infrastructure: AWS CDK (infrastructure as code) across dev, stg, uat, and prd; Docker-based on-prem deployments; GitHub Actions CI/CD.
- Tooling: Nx-managed monorepo with pnpm workspaces shared across frontend, backend, and internal libraries.
- A Three.js, WebGL, and WebXR rendering engine, plus Unreal Engine 5 compositing for photoreal output.
- MQTT-driven real-time digital-twin data and multi-display casting.
- Node-RED on-prem device and controller integration.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- 3 to 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time spent on real-time 3D or graphics.
- Deep proficiency with Three.js (React Three Fiber experience is a strong plus).
- Solid WebGL and GLSL shader experience.
- Strong TypeScript or JavaScript skills.
- Experience with 3D asset formats and pipelines (glTF and GLB, textures, compression).
- A strong grasp of 3D math (vectors, matrices, quaternions, transforms, and cameras).
- Experience profiling and optimizing rendering performance and memory usage.
- A strong eye for visual quality, lighting, and detail.
- Gaussian splatting or radiance fields (Spark, Luma, 3D Gaussian Splatting, or NeRF-adjacent work).
- Experience with KTX2 and Basis, Draco, or meshopt compression.
- PBR materials, baked lighting and lightmap workflows, and HDR or image-based lighting.
- WebXR, VR, or AR (@react-three/xr or similar).
- Familiarity with DCC tools (Blender, 3ds Max, Maya) and capture or photogrammetry pipelines (RealityCapture, Postshot, and similar).
- Experience with Unreal Engine or another real-time engine.
- Experience with React, Next.js, or a monorepo (Nx, Turborepo).
- Architecture, AEC, BIM, or spatial-data background.
- Experience with PlayCanvas
