Our platform combines financial tools, OAuth-connected social data, and a proprietary scoring engine into a seamless product used by creators, small business owners, and entrepreneurs. We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to own our entire technical stack — from server infrastructure to front-end experience — and help us scale from beta into a full product launch.

We are looking to do a new build of our patch bay label designer tool. Customers are currently able to pick their model of patch bay, add text labels, colorize, and group. They can then checkout and it creates print ready artwork for our team to produce. The UI is a bit clunky and there are some features we want to add such as an admin tool to add and edit labels.
