Full-Stack Developer (React/Next.js & Infrastructure) React · Next.js · SQL · Linux · Custom Server About the Role We're looking for a developer who owns the full picture — from provisioning a server to shipping a polished frontend. You'll be the go-to person for our infrastructure, deployment pipeline, and web applications, so comfort at both ends of the stack is essential. What You'll Be Doing • Infrastructure: Provision, harden, and maintain dedicated or cloud servers on Hetzner. • Web Development: Build and optimize performant web applications with Next.js and React. • Database Management: Design schemas, write efficient queries, and tune SQL databases for speed and reliability. • Deployment & CI/CD: Own the deployment pipeline and manage environment configs across Nginx, Docker, PM2, and similar tooling. • Security & Uptime: Keep SSL certificates current, manage backups, and monitor server health proactively. What We're Looking For • Expert-level React and Next.js, including App Router, SSR, and ISR patterns • Solid SQL experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL • Hands-on Hetzner server management via CLI • Strong Linux fundamentals — Ubuntu/Debian, Nginx/Apache, SSH • Bonus points for Docker, Redis, or automated backup experience Interview Questions Worth Asking These three questions will quickly reveal whether a candidate genuinely knows Hetzner or is just name-dropping it: • Server Setup — "Walk me through hardening a fresh Ubuntu install on Hetzner for a Next.js production app." Look for: SSH key setup, UFW/firewall config, Nginx as a reverse proxy, and PM2 or Docker for process management. • SQL Performance — "How would you diagnose and fix a slow query in a high-traffic app?" Look for: EXPLAIN/ANALYZE, indexing strategy, query restructuring, and caching awareness. • Server Setup — Ubuntu linux, UFW/firewall config, Nginx Job Type: Full-time Pay: AED3,000.00 - AED4,000.00 per month
