Key Responsibilities

• Ensure application uptime and respond to critical outages when required

Requirements

• Experience deploying and maintaining MERN stack apps
• Comfortable working in Linux CLI and managing infrastructure
• Able to handle deployments, GitHub workflows, and SSH-based setups
• Self-sufficient, resourceful, and proactive in learning/fixing independently
• Experience with MongoDB setup (local or remote) and user access configuration
• Familiarity with Google Maps API integration

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Docker, or automation tools
• Experience working in small teams or early-stage tech environments
• Comfortable using tools AI-like or documentation to solve problems independently

Work Expectations

• This is not a round-the-clock monitoring role, but flexibility is expected during emergencies or urgent fixes.
• You'll have broad control and independence, but must be capable of owning the application end-to-end.
