Overview

We're seeking an Intermediate Full Stack Engineer with solid full-stack fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a drive to grow fast in a high-ownership environment.

What you'll be doing

You'll join one of our cross-functional squads — working alongside a Product Manager, a Designer, Front-End, Back-End and QA Engineers — building the world's best Employer of Record platform. We are a remote-first team spread across Asia and Europe, so you'll collaborate asynchronously and across time zones as a matter of course. You'll participate in the full implementation cycle across both front-end and back-end, contribute to technical discussions, and be expected to take increasing ownership of your work as you grow. AI tooling is a first-class part of how we work: you'll use it to accelerate your output and develop sharp judgment about when to trust it and when to push back.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain web applications using React and TypeScript on the front-end, and Java or Python on the back-end

Build well-structured and scalable APIs to support front-end and back-end functionality

Participate in the full implementation cycle from design to rollout

Use AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a standard part of your workflow, while developing the judgment to review and validate generated code

Write unit and integration tests to ensure software reliability

Collaborate with Engineers and Product Manager to plan and implement new features

Participate in Engineering Chapters and contribute to architecture discussions

Requirements

Minimum of 3 years in web application development working with both front-end and back-end technologies

Working experience with React and TypeScript for building modern web applications

Working experience with Java and Spring Boot or Python and one of its frameworks for back-end services

Experience building and consuming REST and GraphQL APIs

Good knowledge of CSS and UI development practices

Ability to communicate effectively in a remote environment — clear written communication, reliable async collaboration

Preferred Skills

Familiarity with AI coding assistants and a willingness to build a disciplined workflow around them

Familiar with TDD — good instinct for writing tests, increasingly important when working with AI-generated code

Experience working on a SaaS platform, or at least a custom-built product

Experience with B2B SaaS products, FinTech or HRTech

Understanding of security principles and performance optimization

Self-directed and curious: you take ownership of your tasks, seek feedback proactively, and drive your own growth without waiting to be pushed
