We are seeking a seasoned Senior Full Stack Engineer to join us on a contract basis. This is a role for an engineer who finds satisfaction in the "art of the polish"—refining existing systems, strengthening security, and shipping reliable features within a live production environment.
The Focus: Stability, refinement, and disciplined execution. The Reality: This is not a "rebuild everything" or greenfield project. We need someone who respects established architecture and focuses on incremental, high-impact improvements.
Our Current Tech Stack
We operate on a modern, streamlined stack. Proficiency in these specific tools is essential:
- Frontend: React, Next.js (App Router)
- Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
- Database: PostgreSQL (via Supabase)
- Infrastructure: Vercel
Key Responsibilities
- Hardening Logic: Strengthen backend processes, edge-case handling, and permission structures.
- Feature Delivery: Implement new features accurately based on defined technical specifications.
- Performance Tuning: Identify and resolve bottlenecks to improve overall system reliability.
- Pragmatic Refactoring: Clean and optimize code incrementally without disrupting current workflows or over-engineering solutions.
- Execution: Take ownership of the "middle-to-end" of the development lifecycle with minimal oversight.
Requirements
- Experience: 6–10+ years of professional production experience.
- System Stewardship: A proven track record of maintaining and enhancing existing, complex systems rather than just building new ones.
- Security Mindset: Deep understanding of authentication, authorization, and data integrity.
- Autonomy: Highly self-directed; you thrive when given a goal and the trust to execute it.
- Verification: Identity and professional references will be strictly verified.
This Role is NOT a Fit if:
- You are looking for a Co-founder or CTO position.
- Your first instinct is to propose a total system redesign or "tear it all down."
- You are early in your career and require active mentorship or hand-holding.
- You prefer theoretical architecture over hands-on, disciplined shipping.
How to Apply
We value pragmatism, accountability, and steady progress. If that resonates with you, please provide:
- Resume
- GitHub Link (if available)
- Two Brief Descriptions of recent production challenges you solved within an existing codebase.
Pay: $25.00 - $50.00 per hour
Work Location: Remote
