Middle Full-Stack Developer (Next.js)
Pubblicato il 26-10-2026 - Ruby Labs in Meolo
Ruby Labs is a leading tech company that creates and operates innovative consumer products. Our innovative teams are driving the future of consumer-led products, and we are always looking for passionate individuals to join us. We are looking for a disciplined, highly autonomous Middle Next.js Developer to build and ship product features for one of our core D2C subscription products.
You will own features end to end across a TypeScript monorepo - a Next.js App Router client, a Fastify + Payload CMS API on PostgreSQL, and Cloudflare Workers at the edge - from the moment you receive a task, through breaking it down, estimating, implementing, testing, and observability, to a clean release to production and confirmation that it works for real users. This is a hands-on engineering role suited for someone who treats production as the standard, not the finish line. Half-tested code, silent failures, and unverified AI-generated output are not acceptable.
You are accountable for every task you take on and for every area of the product you touch: if it breaks, regresses, or stays half-finished, that is yours to see through. We expect maximum autonomy and real involvement in the product - you work independently within a sprint, communicate risks before they become blockers, and elevate architectural decisions to senior engineers rather than guessing. Build features across the Next.js client and the Fastify + Payload CMS backend according to product requirements Ship changes behind feature flags and A/B experiments, fully localized across every supported locale Integrate third-party providers - billing, email/CRM, analytics - over REST APIs and webhooks Fix bugs and perform root-cause analysis for recurring issues Optimize page and endpoint performance - rendering and caching strategy, database queries, bundle size Apply secure development practices: schema validation, access control, safe handling of secrets Follow observability practices - structured logging, metrics,
and alerts - using existing tooling Collaboration Break down, estimate, and ship your own tasks to production within the sprint - and stay accountable for them after release Own the areas of the product you work in: their stability, performance, and follow-up fixes Surface requirement clarifications, estimate changes, and risks early and in writing Must-Have Experience ~2+ years of commercial React experience, including 1+ year with Next.js (App Router, Server Components, route handlers, rendering and caching strategies) and solid TypeScript ~ Node.js backend experience on a typed framework (Fastify, Nest, or Express) with PostgreSQL - REST API design, schema migrations, integrations over REST and webhooks (signature verification, idempotency, retries) - plus a working understanding of auth mechanisms, and web security fundamentals ~ TanStack Query, Zustand, React Hook Form + Zod, Tailwind CSS, and a React component library such as HeroUI, MUI, or shadcn/ui ~ Experience with a code-first headless CMS on PostgreSQL (Payload, Strapi, Directus, or equivalent) - collections, access control, generated types, migrations ~ Testing and delivery discipline: e2e tests (Cypress or Playwright) and unit/integration tests (Vitest or Jest), Git flow, code review, working with CI ~ Daily use of AI development tools (Claude Code or equivalents), including configuring them for a project - context, instructions, rules, MCP/integrations - with full ownership of the quality, security,
and correctness of generated code ~ English - B1+ Owns the outcome - takes a task from requirement to production without waiting to be pushed, and stays accountable for the result and the area it touches Maximally autonomous and involved - needs a goal, not step-by-step instructions, and cares how the product performs, not just whether the ticket is closed Verifies before trusting - treats AI output, third-party responses, and your own code as unproven until tested Structured communicator - surfaces risks, blockers, and estimate changes early, in writing, in a remote team Ruby Labs operates within the CET (Central European Time) zone.
