Role Description

Most job ads describe a seat to fill. This one describes a problem worth solving. We are building a product that an IT services company in the United States depends on to run its entire operation: billing, ticketing, project management, and service delivery, all in one place. The company chose to build it themselves rather than accept a generic off-the-shelf tool, because they believe their operations deserve better. We agree. Now they need a developer who takes the same view of their own craft.

We are in the pre-sale stage of what we expect to become a 12-plus month engagement. The pilot is active. We are not posting this role to fill a pipeline spreadsheet. We are building a shortlist of people we would genuinely want on this team, so we are ready to move the moment the engagement confirms.

What You Will Own

• Delivering complete product features end-to-end, from data model to interface, without waiting for handoffs
• Building and iterating on core modules: automated billing, ticket management, time tracking, and project coordination
• Writing code that your teammates can read, extend, and trust
• Contributing to the shared codebase alongside an existing in-house developer and a Tech Lead who sets technical direction
• Surfacing problems early and proposing solutions rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Participating actively in planning and estimation so timelines reflect reality, not optimism

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience shipping production applications with React and Node.js
• Real ownership of features across the full stack, not just comfort on one side
• Experience with PostgreSQL or a comparable relational database in production
• The discipline to write maintainable code even when the deadline feels close
• Clear, direct communication in a distributed team context
• Availability to overlap with US CT for team calls (approximately 12:00 to 14:00 CT time)

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, Zustand
• Backend: Node.js deployed on Cloudflare Workers (serverless architecture)
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Auth and backend services: Supabase

How We Work

• The team is distributed. The client is based in Dallas, Texas.
• Expect one or two overlap calls per week in the 12:00 to 14:00 CT time window. The rest of your day is yours to structure.
• We trust people to manage their own time, because we hire people who have earned that trust.
• The Tech Lead owns architecture direction and stakeholder communication. Your focus is delivery. The two roles are designed to complement each other without competing.

What We Offer

• A real product with a real deadline and real stakes, not a maintenance backlog
• A Tech Lead who sets clear direction so you can focus on execution
• Full-time engagement for the right person once the pilot confirms
• Transparent communication throughout the process, including honest updates if circumstances change
• A team that treats engineering craft as a professional standard, not a talking point
