Worldwide

Summary

We are a fast-growing startup SaaS company with a team of 20 developers, and we are looking to bring on a true top-level full-stack developer who can help us move extremely fast. This is not a basic 9-to-5 developer role. We are building and launching a massive software platform, and we need someone who is highly skilled, dedicated, fast, and capable of owning major features from start to finish. Our current backend is built in Golang, and our frontend is built with Next.js. We need someone who is strong on both the frontend and backend, can understand complex systems quickly, and can produce clean, scalable, production-ready work. The ideal candidate has: * Strong full-stack experience across frontend and backend * Deep experience with Golang or the ability to work in Go at a high level * Strong Next.js / React frontend development skills * Experience building SaaS platforms, dashboards, APIs, workflows, automations, and complex business logic * Extremely strong problem-solving skills * Ability to move fast without creating messy, unmaintainable code * Experience using modern AI coding tools like Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools * Ability to use AI tools properly to ship features faster, debug faster, and improve productivity * Strong communication skills * Ability to work with an existing development team and contribute immediately We are not looking for someone who only writes small tasks or needs constant hand-holding. We need someone who can take a feature, understand the goal, think through the architecture, build it, test it, and get it ready for production. This role is best for someone who wants to be deeply involved in a serious SaaS startup and help launch a large-scale software product. **Responsibilities:** * Build new SaaS features across frontend and backend * Work with our existing development team * Improve existing systems, APIs, workflows, and UI * Help move features from idea to production quickly * Use AI coding tools to increase speed and output * Review, debug, and improve existing code * Communicate clearly on progress, blockers, and technical decisions * Help us scale the platform long-term **Important:** Please do not apply if you are only looking for a basic hourly job with limited involvement. We are looking for a dedicated, high-output developer who wants to be part of building something major. When applying, please answer these questions: 1. How many years of full-stack development experience do you have? 2. What is your experience with Golang? 3. What is your experience with Next.js and React? 4. What AI coding tools do you currently use, and how do you use them in your workflow? 5. Have you built or worked on SaaS platforms before? Please explain. 6. Are you available for a dedicated, long-term role? 7. What is one complex feature or system you have built that you are proud of? We are looking to hire quickly for the right person.
