About Remote People

At Remote People, we're building the infrastructure to power borderless teams. By handling global payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance, our technology enables businesses to hire anyone anywhere compliantly at the push of a button.

If you're interested in adding to our vision of enabling people to work in dream jobs, for every company, and from anywhere in the world,

We're committed to building a global, diverse team representing different and varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We welcome applications from everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, or disability. Being part of Remote People means being part of a growing, international family.

Overview

We're seeking an Intermediate Full Stack Engineer with solid full-stack fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a drive to grow fast in a high-ownership environment.

What you'll be doing

You’ll join one of our cross-functional squads — working alongside a Product Manager, a Designer, Front-End, Back-End and QA Engineers — building the world's best Employer of Record platform. We are a remote-first team spread across Asia and Europe, so you’ll collaborate asynchronously and across time zones as a matter of course. You’ll participate in the full implementation cycle across both front-end and back-end, contribute to technical discussions, and be expected to take increasing ownership of your work as you grow. AI tooling is a first-class part of how we work: you’ll use it to accelerate your output and develop sharp judgment about when to trust it and when to push back.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain web applications using React and TypeScript on the front-end, and Java or Python on the back-end
• Build well-structured and scalable APIs to support front-end and back-end functionality
• Participate in the full implementation cycle from design to rollout
• Use AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a standard part of your workflow, while developing the judgment to review and validate generated code
• Write unit and integration tests to ensure software reliability
• Collaborate with Engineers and Product Manager to plan and implement new features
• Participate in Engineering Chapters and contribute to architecture discussions

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years in web application development working with both front-end and back-end technologies
• Working experience with React and TypeScript for building modern web applications
• Working experience with Java and Spring Boot or Python and one of its frameworks for back-end services
• Experience building and consuming REST and GraphQL APIs
• Good knowledge of CSS and UI development practices
• Ability to communicate effectively in a remote environment — clear written communication, reliable async collaboration

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with AI coding assistants and a willingness to build a disciplined workflow around them
• Familiar with TDD — good instinct for writing tests, increasingly important when working with AI-generated code
• Experience working on a SaaS platform, or at least a custom-built product
• Experience with B2B SaaS products, FinTech or HRTech
• Understanding of security principles and performance optimization
• Self-directed and curious: you take ownership of your tasks, seek feedback proactively, and drive your own growth without waiting to be pushed
