ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Mid-level Fullstack Developer for a short-term, part-time remote contract to help restore and stabilize a production application by rebuilding it on a scalable AWS environment. This role has immediate impact, working closely with founders to bring the frontend, backend, and database back to a reliable, production-ready state. It offers a clearly scoped engagement, high autonomy, and hands-on ownership across modern JavaScript, Node.js, Docker, and AWS. There is potential for continued collaboration once the critical recovery phase is complete.

- Deploy and configure the frontend application for production use;
- Deploy, configure, and optimize the backend application with a focus on stability and performance;
- Set up and integrate a PostgreSQL database, including migrations;
- Work with AWS services such as Cognito, S3, ECS/Fargate, and RDS;
- Containerize applications using Docker and support deployment workflows;
- Ensure the application runs reliably in a scalable AWS environment;
- Collaborate with the founding team and technical partners to align on requirements and priorities;
- Troubleshoot deployment, infrastructure, and performance issues;
- Document setup steps and key technical decisions;
- Support or improve CI/CD pipelines as needed.

MUST HAVES
- 2 to 4 years of professional experience as a Fullstack Developer;
- Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (Next.js and/or similar React frameworks);
- Experience building and maintaining Node.js backends (NestJS or similar frameworks);
- Basic to intermediate experience with AWS and cloud-based deployments;
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and database migrations;
- Experience with Docker and containerized applications;
- Understanding of REST APIs and web application architecture;
- Ability to work independently on a well-defined scope;
- Clear written and verbal communication skills in a remote environment;
- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES
- Experience migrating applications from Heroku to AWS;
- Familiarity with AWS Cognito and authentication flows;
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions;
- Prior experience working with startups or small teams;
- Interest in longer-term collaboration and ongoing maintenance work.
