Qualifications

• About the Role
• We are hiring a Software Developer – Full Stack to support the development of Astra, our internal enterprise platform focused on operational intelligence, governance, automation, and cross-functional visibility. Astra is currently being developed by a small team, and we need an additional hands-on engineer to improve execution speed, strengthen product development capacity, and help build a more scalable and maintainable platform.
• This role will contribute end-to-end across frontend, backend, APIs, database, and integrations. You will work closely with the existing Astra team and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical technical solutions and support the ongoing growth of Astra as a strategic internal platform.
• Product Context – Astra
• Astra is Phenom’s internal enterprise platform that brings together operational intelligence, governance, automation, and cross-functional visibility into a single product surface. It supports dashboards, workflows, and integrations that help internal teams operate efficiently. Astra is in an active build-and-scale phase, and this hire will materially increase delivery velocity.
• Must Have (Required Skills)
• Frontend: Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern framework – React (preferred), Angular, or Vue. Solid HTML5, CSS3, and responsive UI fundamentals.
• Backend: Hands-on experience building backend services and REST APIs using Node.js / Java / Python (preference for Node.js or Java stack).
• Database: Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL) including schema design, query optimization, and indexing; exposure to NoSQL (MongoDB / Redis) is a plus.
• API & Integration: Experience designing, consuming, and debugging REST APIs; familiarity with JSON, OAuth / OIDC / JWT-based auth, and webhook-style integrations.
• Engineering Practices: Git-based version control, code reviews, branching strategies, unit and integration testing, and CI/CD awareness.
• Problem Solving: Strong analytical and debugging skills; comfort working across the full stack to trace an issue end to end.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal communication; able to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ownership: Self-driven, outcome-oriented, and comfortable working in a small team where each engineer owns meaningful scope.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) at a working level.
• Exposure to cloud platforms – AWS, Azure, or GCP – and cloud-native services (compute, storage, queues, managed databases).
• Familiarity with observability tooling – logs, metrics, traces (e.g., ELK, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Exposure to internal tooling, ITSM, or enterprise platforms (Jira, ServiceNow, Okta, SSO flows).
• Prior experience integrating with third-party SaaS systems via REST / webhooks.
• Agile / Scrum delivery experience; comfortable with sprint-based work and incremental delivery.
• Product mindset – cares about the user experience, not just the code.
• High sense of ownership and follow-through on commitments.
• Collaborative and respectful in code reviews and design discussions.
• Pragmatic – balances quality, delivery speed, and scope.
• Curious and continuously learning; open to feedback and coaching.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and shaping requirements alongside stakeholders.

Benefits

• Deliver meaningful features and enhancements across Astra’s frontend and backend.
