Salary: ₱150,000 – ₱190,000 per month

Overview

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to take ownership of our product and drive it to the next level. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role: you'll own the technical direction across our entire product suite, including the public website, the installer platform, the customer/user platform and the broker platform.

You'll work directly with the founder on product and architecture, set the standards the rest of the team builds to, and mentor and manage our existing developer. We want someone who can take real ownership, raise the quality bar, make sound architecture decisions independently, and lead the product to a more mature and scalable level.

Our stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Bootstrap and custom CSS, Node, AWS, PostgreSQL.

AI-Assisted Development
We work with modern AI development tools as a core part of how we build, and we expect this person to do the same. The days of writing every line by hand are behind us, and we want someone who can use these tools to ship faster without compromising on quality.

• Make pragmatic build-vs-refactor decisions and own the trade-offs

ENGINEERING
• Design and build scalable backend logic, APIs and data flows in Node.js and PostgreSQL
• Build reusable, scalable, polished React components that follow modern design and architecture standards
• Write clean, well-structured TypeScript throughout the stack, and refactor inconsistent code for long-term maintainability
• Optimise performance across client and server, and own our AWS-based infrastructure: deployments, environments and hosting

PROCESS & COMMUNICATION
• Run code reviews, uphold quality, and drive ongoing improvements in workflow and system design
• Communicate clearly and regularly through GitHub, Slack, async updates and short video check-ins

Required Qualifications
• 8+ years professional experience in full-stack JavaScript development
• Proven experience leading product or platform development and owning technical direction
• Experience mentoring or managing other developers
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code) as part of a professional workflow
• Strong proficiency in Next.js, React, TypeScript and Node.js, including designing and building REST APIs and data models
• Hands-on experience with AWS or similar cloud infrastructure, and with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
• Comfortable working inside an existing, multi-product codebase, not just greenfield projects
• Strong written English and able to work effectively in an async, remote setup

Preferred Skills
• Experience leading or being the senior technical voice in a small team or early-stage startup
• Eye for design detail: able to make interfaces look professional without relying on pixel-perfect Figma specs
• Exposure to multi-platform products (e.g. separate customer, partner/broker and admin surfaces) Soft Skills & Attributes
• Takes genuine ownership and is accountable for outcomes, not just tasks
• A natural leader who can set direction, mentor others and raise the standard of those around them

Work Environment & Details
• Fully remote role, requiring reliable overlap with Australian business hours (AEST/AEDT)
• Communication via Slack, GitHub and regular video calls
• Reports directly to the founder; leads and manages the existing developer
• You will own and shape the patterns, standards and architecture for the whole product
• Work spans building new features and maturing the existing codebase across all platforms
