Remote, USA
Posted Jun 12, 2026
Full-time

We’re looking for a Full-stack developer with a strong backend focus who’s comfortable jumping into the frontend when needed and cares more about shipping than over-engineering.
What you’ll do:
Build and maintain backend services using Node.js

Work with React on the frontend

Design and evolve infrastructure (deployment, scaling, reliability)

Actively use and integrate AI tools (Claude, LLM APIs, etc.) into development workflows

Move fast: prototype, iterate, and ship features (yes, “vibe coding” is a thing here)

Work with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines

Requirements:
4+ years of backend development experience with Node.js

Solid working knowledge of React

Proven experience designing and building systems independently (from idea to production)

Experience working in startups or fast-moving environments

Hands-on experience with AWS, Oracle or Vercel

Comfortable using AI tools to speed up development (Claude, Copilot, etc.)

Able to operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Nice to have:
Experience with serverless architectures

Hands-on work with LLMs / AI agents

Strong ownership mindset and product thinking

Understanding of DevOps practices

What matters:
We’re not looking for someone who just writes code. We want someone who:
Can independently implement features end-to-end

Makes decisions quickly without constant supervision

Doesn’t get stuck chasing “perfect” code

Uses AI as leverage

Ships things to production
