Job Overview
We are looking for a backend-focused Full-Stack Developer to become a core technical builder on our team.
Your primary responsibility will be building and scaling our backend systems using TypeScript in Convex. However, this is a startup environment — when needed, you’ll also contribute to the frontend (React Native) and help wherever the product needs support. This is not a narrow role. We want a jack-of-all-trades builder with a strong backend foundation, someone who thinks outside the box, moves fast, solves problems creatively, and takes ownership.
If you’re the type of developer who likes wearing multiple hats and building real systems from the ground up, this role is for you.
Core Responsibilities
Backend Development (Primary Focus)
- Architect and build backend systems using TypeScript and Convex
- Design scalable APIs and data models
- Implement business logic and core infrastructure
- Integrate and manage supervision tools (ideally using Go or similar technologies)
- Support MDM integrations and backend logic related to device management
- Ensure performance, reliability, and security of backend services
Full-Stack Contributions (Secondary)
- Contribute to frontend development when needed using React Native
- Work with Expo-based mobile apps when required
- Collaborate closely with mobile and product teams to ship features end-to-end
