PhillyTech.Co is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to drive architectural decisions and deliver high‑quality features on a private beta platform for coaching and personal development.
You will work across Vue.js, Nuxt, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and AWS, leveraging AI coding agents to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and security. This is a remote, full-time, hourly engagement with a fast-growing team.
ARE YOU READY TO HELP CREATE LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES THAT EMPOWER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES, BUSINESSES, AND FUTURES?
Our client is a fast growing coaching and personal development company founded in 2016 with a mission to help entrepreneurs and individuals end personal suffering and develop the mindset, tools, and practices needed to achieve their full potential.
The company has become one of the fastest growing brands and businesses in the personal and business development industry. Their annual live event was named by Inc. as a Top 3 Must Attend Personal Development Event for Entrepreneurs, alongside Tony Robbins' Date With Destiny. Their founder was named by Inc. as a leading expert on mindset and business, and SUCCESS Magazine referred to his methodology as the next evolution in personal development. He has also been featured on Impact Theory, where his appearance was rated among the show's Top 5 interviews, and his videos have received millions of views online. The company was also ranked #171 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies.
Today, their rapidly growing platform includes coaching programs, digital products, bestselling books, a podcast reaching millions of listeners, and major live experiences bringing together thousands of entrepreneurs and leaders.
Their founder is more than a motivational speaker and coach; he is an entrepreneur and an early pioneer of SEO and e-commerce, where he led the sales team that sold the first motorcycle online, generating $70M in less than 2 years.
The Senior Full Stack Engineer will be working on a custom community platform built for personal development, coaching, courses, community forums, and daily engagement. The product is currently in private beta.
This is an opportunity to join at an important stage. There is already a substantial product and codebase, but meaningful engineering work remains before it is taken public. You'll initially work closely with the engineer who designed and built the platform, while progressively taking greater responsibility for its architecture, production readiness, and technical operations.
Beyond strong technical skills, we need someone who can take ownership of engineering delivery, support the existing technical lead, and step in to manage technical priorities and execution when needed. This includes working with multiple departments, handling competing requests, making decisions independently, and keeping projects moving in a fast paced environment.
The team also relies heavily on AI coding agents to accelerate software development. We're looking for an engineer who knows how to use these tools effectively while maintaining responsibility for code quality, testing, technical judgment, and successful delivery.
Work closely with the existing technical lead and take ownership of engineering delivery when needed. Coordinate development work, make technical decisions, resolve blockers, and ensure projects move forward without constant supervision.
Own features from architecture and database design through development, testing, deployment, and production support. Work across Vue.js, Nuxt, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and AWS, with a strong backend focus.
Work with product, operations, and other departments to understand requirements, manage competing priorities, estimate work, communicate progress, and deliver against tight deadlines.
Use AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools to accelerate development. Write clear instructions, review generated code, identify mistakes, validate functionality, and ensure changes meet requirements without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Assess and improve the platform's security, scalability, performance, and reliability. Own technical QA, testing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and release readiness while prioritizing essential improvements over unnecessary redesigns.
Review and validate work from external engineering partners, support technical knowledge transfer, and maintain integrations such as Stripe Connect, LiveKit, Twilio, Zoom, Anthropic, and pgvector. Contribute to production AI architecture, including LLM integrations, RAG, and agents, when needed.
8 to 12+ years of software engineering experience, with strong production experience in Vue.js, backend development, and relational database design. PostgreSQL is preferred, while Nuxt and Prisma experience are a plus.
Proven experience leading engineering delivery, owning complex technical projects, making independent decisions, and taking responsibility for results. Must be capable of stepping in for an existing technical lead when needed.
Experience managing multiple priorities, coordinating with different departments, communicating with stakeholders, and delivering work under tight deadlines in a fast moving environment.
Proven experience using AI coding agents on production software, including directing AI tools, reviewing generated code, identifying errors, and validating results. Experience with LLM architecture, RAG, or AI agents is a strong plus.
Strong experience with backend architecture, APIs, databases, infrastructure, security, scalability, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support. Able to evaluate existing systems and make practical improvements without unnecessary rewrites.
Highly organized, self sufficient, and comfortable working in a startup environment with changing priorities. Able to balance development speed, technical quality, and business needs while collaborating effectively with internal teams and external engineering partners.
