Role Overview

Our client is seeking a mid-to-senior Full Stack Developer with a strong emphasis on back-end development and cloud infrastructure. This fully remote, full-time role is ideal for a highly technical, product-focused engineer who thrives on building reliable, scalable services — from idea to code, launch, and long-term maintenance.

You’ll design, build, and operate APIs, services, and cloud infrastructure on AWS while collaborating closely with a diverse, fast-growing team. The role offers autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to make a measurable impact across the full software lifecycle.

How You’ll Work

• Full-time, remote-first environment; collaboration via Slack and Asana
• GitHub-first workflow: pull requests, reviews, and CI/CD pipelines
• Ownership over services, features, and technical decisions
• Close collaboration with product and design teams to deliver end-to-end solutions

Schedule: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST (40 hours per week)

Independent Contractor Perks

• Health insurance (available in eligible locations)
• Permanent work-from-home setup
• Immediate hiring

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain scalable APIs and services using Python and/or Node.js
• Design, deploy, and operate AWS infrastructure with a focus on security, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Own data layers (relational and NoSQL databases), integrations, and observability
• Write automated tests, participate in code reviews, and deploy through CI/CD pipelines
• Partner with product and design teams to deliver high-quality, end-to-end features

Requirements (Must-Haves)

• 2–3+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong back-end expertise in Python and/or Node.js
• Advanced AWS expertise with at least two professional-level certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect – Professional, DevOps Engineer – Professional)
• Proven experience with GitHub collaboration and development best practices (branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, CI/CD)
• Demonstrated ability to deliver product impact across the full software lifecycle (ideation → launch → iteration)
• Strong communication skills, ownership mindset, and curiosity for emerging technologies

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with containers, serverless architecture, or Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDK)
• GraphQL and/or REST API development
• Performance tuning and security best practices
• Experience scaling applications in cloud-first environments

Side Note

This is a permanent work-from-home role under an Independent Contractor arrangement. Candidates must have their own computer and reliable internet connection and are responsible for their own taxes and benefits. Professional hourly fees are established based on performance during the application process.
