About the role

About The Role

We're looking for a web developer who can wear multiple hats. This isn't a heads-down coding-only role. You'll build features, but also lead the technical direction of projects, communicate directly with clients, and make architecture decisions.

Some weeks are heavy coding, other weeks are more about planning, client calls, and guiding the project forward. What matters most is that you can own a project, communicate clearly, and deliver.

What You'll Do

Build and ship product features across web projects

Lead the technical direction and architecture of client projects

Communicate directly with clients — calls, planning, status updates

Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance quality and speed

Guide and review work when collaborating with other engineers

Help scope projects and break down technical requirements

What We're Looking For

Strong fundamentals in at least one of: JavaScript, C#, or Python

Experience with React, Node.js, or modern frameworks is a plus — but not required

Comfortable owning a project end-to-end, not just executing tasks

Clear communicator who can explain technical things to non-technical people

Self-directed and reliable — you don't need hand-holding to get things done

Nice to Have

Prior experience in a tech lead or senior IC role

Experience working directly with clients or in an agency environment

Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

What We Offer

Fully remote — work from anywhere

High-ownership role with real decision-making power

Fast-moving team without layers of bureaucracy

Annual learning budget for courses, books, and conferences

Competitive compensation based on experience
