Lead FullStack Engineer (React/JS/Node.JS)

Project Description

Together with the Zoolatech team, our partner, a leading construction management company, is at the forefront of developing a cloud-based software solution. This innovative platform is instrumental in the successful completion of major projects including skyscrapers, hospitals, data centers, stadiums, and schools. It streamlines the management of finances, quality, teams, and risks, making these processes transparent, convenient, and regulation-compliant. Our partner is not only an expert in construction management but also a significant technology innovator, actively developing web and mobile solutions. Zoolatech plays a crucial role in supporting their growth, and we are currently searching for the best result-oriented Engineers who can keep the high-level development standards.

The primary goal of this project is to standardize our front-end (FE) technology and UI design across all platform components and tools. At present, our FE design lacks consistency: while some features have been developed using cutting-edge technologies like React, TypeScript, and the micro-frontend approach, numerous outdated legacy pages still rely on ERB files (Ruby on Rails frameworks) or Hydro-clients. To harmonize our technology stack, extensive efforts are necessary to decouple the front-end from the back-end and to encapsulate the FE within a micro-frontend architecture. The project will unfold in several phases, focusing on maximizing the use of our custom component library across the application.
