About the role
We’re building a high-scale web platform (Zillow-like experience) and looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who’s strong across modern frontend and backend JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Implement and consume GraphQL APIs.
• Write clean, maintainable code with strong testing discipline and performance awareness.
• Participate in code reviews and help uphold engineering standards.

• Strong Node.js experience.
• Strong Next.js experience, including routing and frontend architecture.
• NestJS experience (required / non-negotiable).
• GraphQL knowledge (building or integrating GraphQL APIs).
• Solid fundamentals in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and core browser/web concepts.
• Experience with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Comfortable working remote on a distributed team; strong written and verbal communication.
• Experience delivering in a startup / fast-paced product environment.
Nice-to-have (preferred)
• MongoDB experience.
• Elasticsearch familiarity.
• Azure exposure (including Azure DevOps pipelines).
• Understanding of Docker and modern deployment practices (Kubernetes/Serverless concepts are a plus).
• Experience diagnosing and preventing performance bottlenecks in production systems.
• Exposure to relational and/or non-relational data modeling.
Education
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
Engagement details
• Remote contract role (Feb 23, 2026 – Sep 18, 2026).
• Work is primarily focused on building and improving the web platform frontend, with meaningful backend ownership as well.
