• Collaborate closely with front-end developers to support seamless integration and ensure consistent product experiences.
• Contribute directly to the product roadmap and deliver features aligned with business and user needs.
• Act as a technical contributor who proactively proposes improvements and solutions rather than simply executing predefined specifications.
• Write clean, maintainable, robust, and sustainable code that can evolve with the product.
• Investigate and address performance challenges to ensure a reliable and responsive application.
• Integrate AI-powered development tools into the engineering workflow while applying appropriate technical judgement to their output.

Requirements:

• 5–10 years of professional fullstack development experience, with a level of seniority allowing you to take ownership of the application back end.

• Solid experience with data access, third-party integrations, authentication, and complex application business logic.
• Strong TypeScript skills and practical experience with Tailwind CSS and shadcn.
• Good understanding of modern meta-frameworks, with Next.js experience preferred; familiarity with alternatives such as TanStack Start or Nuxt is a plus.
• Ability to design and implement clean, maintainable, modular, and scalable code.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools as an integral part of the engineering workflow.
• Strong autonomy and ownership, with the ability to take responsibility for a significant technical area of a product.
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work closely with front-end developers and other technical stakeholders.
• Strong remote communication skills and ability to work effectively within a distributed team.
• Proactive approach, with a willingness to challenge assumptions and suggest technical or product improvements.

• Choice of a permanent employment contract or long-term freelance engagement, depending on circumstances.
• Full-time position with a five-day working week.
• High level of autonomy and direct ownership of the application's back-end architecture and development.
• Opportunity to become a key technical contributor from the start.
• Modern technology stack including Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and shadcn.
• Opportunity to work on an AI-powered SaaS product with strong traction and an ambitious roadmap.
