• Strong full-stack skills (we’re flexible on exact languages/frameworks)
• A deep understanding of software design, performance optimization, and testing
• Comfort navigating across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
• Solid database skills (SQL + familiarity with non-relational systems)
• Great communication skills and the ability to work independently
• A collaborative, humble approach—you value the team as much as the tech
• Bonus points for experience in marketplaces, SaaS platforms, or remote teams.

VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please upload your English resume—applications without it will not be considered.

• Perks of Working with Us
• Competitive contract rate
• Work from anywhere
• Flexible hours—get the work done on your schedule
