About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to support the ongoing development of model-scouting.com, a platform built on Strapi that requires strong technical execution, scalability, and new feature development. The role involves both core application development and the creation of web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extensions, so a strong understanding of modern JavaScript ecosystems is essential.
This role is ideal for someone with solid experience in React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and who has worked on complex, high-traffic platforms similar to the profile shared by the client (e.g., experience in multi-module platforms, APIs, integrations, architecting features, and mentoring teams). Candidates who can contribute to architecture, performance optimization, and hands-on development will be prioritized.

Develop and implement new features for model-scouting.com, built on Strapi.
Design and build web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extension tools.
Collaborate on architectural decisions, technical design, and planning.
Ensure strong code quality, performance, and scalability.
Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve technical issues across the stack.
Optimize applications for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
Work with APIs, data pipelines, and integrations as needed.
Required Skills & Experience
Strong experience with React and its ecosystem (Hooks, Redux, testing libraries).
Advanced experience with Node.js, NestJS, Express, GraphQL, and REST APIs.
Proficiency with PostgreSQL and relational database modeling.
Hands-on experience with Strapi or similar headless CMS.
Ability to build web scrapers (e.g., Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio).
Experience integrating AI tools, plugins, or OpenAI APIs is a plus.
Strong understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred), CI/CD, containers, and deployment pipelines.
A track record of working on complex platforms, building features end-to-end, and collaborating with product/engineering teams.
Preferred Profile (based on client alignment)
React + Node stacks across multiple large-scale platforms,
API integrations,
database-heavy applications,
AI interactions,
mentoring or owning modules, and
experience working with U.S.-based teams. Juan Ordosgoite - React Node.js…
