About the role

We are building and scaling a high-growth D2C product in the LegalTech / Utilities space and are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who is driven to build high-quality, scalable products used by real users—fast.

You will be a core contributor, working across the stack and owning meaningful product areas end-to-end, while collaborating closely with product and engineering leadership. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility, moves quickly, and takes pride not only in shipping features, but in ensuring they scale and perform reliably under real-world usage.

We operate in a fast-paced, startup-style environment where speed and quality go hand in hand, and ownership is expected. If you are excited by challenge, autonomy, and rapid growth, we encourage you to read on.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, ship and iterate on core product features using Next.js.

• Own product modules end-to-end, from implementation to production rollout and iteration.

• Implement responsive, accessible UIs using TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and established design systems.

• Work with backend services and APIs, integrating frontend logic with scalable systems.

• Participate actively in code reviews, ensuring high standards for readability, performance and reliability.

• Debug, optimize, and improve production systems in a high-traffic environment.

• Work closely with Product and Growth to support experimentation and rapid MVP cycles.
  
  

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining production-grade, full-stack web applications.

• Strong practical experience with React and Next.js, including at least 2 years working with the Next.js App Router in production environments.

• Deep understanding of TypeScript and modern frontend architecture patterns.

• Proven ability to own features end-to-end, from ambiguous requirements through to production-ready implementation.

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL, including data modeling and basic query optimization.

• Working knowledge of caching strategies and performance considerations (Redis or equivalent).

• High standards for code quality, maintainability, and readability.

• Strong proficiency with Git, Docker, and modern development workflows.

• Comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-based environments (AWS preferred).

• Prior experience with NestJS or similar Node.js frameworks is a plus.

• Strong sense of ownership and initiative with accountability for outcomes.

• Clear, proactive communication in a remote, async-friendly team environment.

• A pragmatic builder who balances execution speed with long-term maintainability.
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience with D2C SaaS, LegalTech, or utility-style products.

• Experience with Payload (CMS) or BetterAuth (considered a strong plus).

• Familiarity with Supabase, Cloudflare R2, or billing systems.

• Exposure to performance marketing, analytics, or A/B testing.

• Open-source contributions, side projects, or a strong GitHub/portfolio.
