Full Stack Developer

About the Role

We're hiring a Full-Stack Web Developer to build and ship code to production across both frontend and backend from week one. This role is for a builder who has shipped projects, understands end-to-end web architecture, and thrives in a high-ownership environment. You will work directly alongside the engineering team, tackle core feature tasks, and have a voice in product decisions. We value curiosity, initiative, and speed over formal credentials. Proving your ability to learn fast and take ownership leads to a direct path to a permanent full-time role.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-Stack Development: Build, maintain, and scale features using React / Next.js on the frontend and Node.js / Express.js on the backend.
• API & Database Management: Design schemas, optimize queries using MongoDB or PostgreSQL, and architect clean, scalable RESTful APIs.
• Core Integrations: Implement user authentication flows, integrate third-party services, and build key business logic.
• Ship & Iterate: Debug, optimize performance, and continuously iterate based on real user feedback and analytics.
• Leverage Modern AI Tools: Use AI-assisted workflows (Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT) to write cleaner code, debug faster, and boost productivity.
• Product Ownership: Contribute actively to architecture discussions, propose product improvements, and take full ownership of assigned modules.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Solid Fundamentals: Deep understanding of modern JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and core web concepts.
• Frontend Proficiency: Hands-on experience with React (Hooks, State Management, Client-side Routing).
• Backend Mastery: Practical experience building and consuming REST APIs with Node.js and Express.js.
• Database Skills: Hands-on experience with MongoDB or PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, CRUD operations).
• Git Workflows: Proficiency with Git, GitHub/GitLab, and standard branching strategies.
• Proof of Work: At least one complete, functional full-stack project (personal, academic, or freelance) that shows end-to-end thinking.
• Soft Skills: Clear communication, strong problem-solving initiative, and a growth mindset.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Next.js, TypeScript, or Tailwind CSS.
• Familiarity with authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth 2.0) and core web security practices.
• Experience deploying apps on platforms like Vercel, Render, or Railway.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) in your daily workflow.
