Lead Developer

About Rampartflow IT

Every tech does a bit of everything, from printer jams to firewall rules. Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call.

Rampartflow IT has an opening for a Lead Developer. Looking for an engineer comfortable with both API work and front-end polish, with a bias toward shipping. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

Your responsibilities

• Build features end to end across React front ends and Node.js, Python or.NET back ends.
• Create and maintain REST or GraphQL endpoints.
• Refactor older code when you touch it rather than working around it.
• Design database tables and write migrations in PostgreSQL or SQL Server.
• Turn wireframes and Figma mockups into working, responsive screens.
• Integrate third-party services such as Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid or Auth0.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of full stack development experience.
• Ability to work with little supervision and ask questions early.
• Server-side experience in Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI) or C# (.NET)
• Solid SQL and experience with at least one relational database.
• Familiarity with Git, code review and CI pipelines.

Nice to have

• Stripe or other payment integrations.
• Docker and Docker Compose for local development.
• Next.js, Remix or another full-stack React framework.
