Cultural Fit – Who Thrives Here?

We believe technical excellence is only part of what makes a great Developer. We work closely with startups and mission-driven clients who rely on us not just to code, but to lead, communicate, and drive their success. The right candidate will naturally live out these values:
 

  • Proactive Problem-Solver: You anticipate challenges, flag risks early, and bring solutions before issues become urgent. You don’t wait for instructions—you take ownership and make things happen.
  • Highly Organized: You deliver your deliverables without chaos.
  • Over-Communicator: We value clarity over assumptions. You share progress updates with your team lead regularly, as well as blockers.
  • Client-Focused: You genuinely care about the success of our clients’ businesses as much as our own.
  • Positive Energy: We’re a small, close-knit team. You bring a sense of humor, warmth, and professionalism that makes collaboration enjoyable, even under pressure.
  • Responsible & Accountable: You own your work, your commitments, and your mistakes. You’re the person others can rely on to follow through.

    If this sounds like you, you’ll find a long-term home with us where you’ll work on meaningful projects, and help our clients succeed.

Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to full-stack development of web and mobile applications using NextJS, Expo, and related technologies.
  • Assist in the development of scalable solutions, ensuring maintainable, high-quality code.

  • Experience: 2-3 years experience building full-stack applications with React/NextJS, Node.js, and TypeScript.
  • Mobile Development: Hands-on experience with Expo / React Native, delivering production-grade mobile apps.
  • Web Development: 2-3 years experience working with production web apps. Proven track record in responsive, performant, and scalable web app development, including REST APIs and database design.
  • Backend Management: experience working with server-side architectures, APIs, and database integrations.
  • AWS Expertise: Practical experience deploying, configuring, and managing applications on AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront).
  • Proactivity: Demonstrated track record of taking initiative, solving problems independently, and owning outcomes.
  • Organizational Skills: Strong task management skills; avoids last-minute chaos by thinking ahead.
  • Collaboration: Experience working in cross-functional, remote teams, using tools like GitHub, Jira, Slack, and Loom.
