Senior Full Stack Developer

Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku. We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Founded in 2004, we now have 15 employees. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Kennedy Cloud is a small engineering shop and the operations team works across the whole stack. You might write React on Monday and SQL migrations on Tuesday. The Senior Full Stack Developer will build internal tools and customer-facing features on a TypeScript stack (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL). This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

• Deploy changes through GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines.

• Set up admin and reporting screens for internal teams.
• Investigate bugs reported by support and fix them at the right layer.
• Participate in sprint planning, estimation and retros.
• Create and maintain REST or GraphQL endpoints.

Required qualifications

• 5-7 years of full stack development experience.
• Solid SQL and experience with at least one relational database.
• Understanding of HTTP, authentication, sessions and cookies.
• Server-side experience in Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI) or C# (.NET)
