Lead Full-Stack Engineer

You will grow the products that already make money and build the next ones. Some weeks that means scaling a scraper product with real customers on it, some weeks a new internal tool, some weeks wiring APIs together so the go-to-market team stops doing something by hand. You work directly with the founder on what to build. How it gets built is yours: put something small in front of real users, see if they want it, then build it properly.

What you'll own

• Grow and scale the scraper products running on Apify, in reliability, coverage, and revenue.
• Build new products across the portfolio, from database schema through the interface people actually use.
• Wire third-party APIs into automations that drive go-to-market work: outreach, enrichment, and reporting.
• Work inside AI coding agents daily and set the standard for how the rest of the team uses them.
• Design and query PostgreSQL schemas with Prisma, and keep the data clean at volume.

• You have 5+ years building software and have shipped products end to end, not just tickets.
• You have worked at a startup where the job was whatever needed doing that week.
• You write TypeScript and Node without hesitation and you are comfortable in React.
• You have pulled data out of other systems, through APIs or scraping, and you know what breaks: rate limits, auth, blocks, and dirty data.
• You live in Claude Code or Codex, and you have opinions about where those tools help and where they do not.
• You have real things you've built outside of work, projects we can actually open and try, backed up by an active GitHub.
• You speak and write fluent English, work without supervision, and keep a small team in the loop without being asked.

Here is what to expect after you apply

1. You will get an email from Puente with a short online assessment and a quick grammar check.
2. You will record three short video answers so we can see how you communicate.
3. If it looks like a fit, our recruiter sets up an interview.
4. Shortlisted candidates are introduced to the US client team for final interviews.

This is a full-time independent contractor role at $2,000 - $3,000 USD per month, working Monday through Friday 9 AM to 6 PM CT. You will work directly with the founder and have interns reporting to you from day one with input on future hires. The role is fully remote. You will use AI coding tools daily, work across multiple live products, and ship fast in a small team that values demonstrated demand before heavy builds.
