Job description

Remote Leverage, a talent startup based in California, USA, is building and launching a new, independent SaaS platform backed by a proprietary talent dataset, and we’re hiring a Senior Full Stack MERN Developer to join as a founding engineer.

This is a remote role focused on building a standalone product with external customers, real scale, and long-term ambition — not client work and not internal tooling.

About the Product

We’re developing a proprietary software platform designed to transform how companies discover, evaluate, and hire remote talent at scale.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Taking an existing MVP and bringing it to market-ready, production quality

Designing and refining backend APIs and data models

Improving frontend UX, usability, and performance

Ensuring the system is stable, secure, and scalable

Identifying and resolving edge cases, bugs, and technical debt

Making pragmatic architectural decisions that support long-term growth

Working closely with the founder to move fast while maintaining engineering discipline

Writing clean, maintainable, well-structured TypeScript

Applying a product-minded engineering approach, not just feature delivery

Thriving in an environment with ambiguity, iteration, and evolving requirements

Must-Have Skills & Experience

5+ years of professional experience as a Full Stack Developer or similar role

Strong experience with TypeScript across frontend and backend

Solid React experience building production-grade user interfaces

Experience building Node.js / Express APIs

Experience working with MongoDB in production environments

Proven track record of shipping and maintaining real-world SaaS products

Ability to move a product from “it works” → reliable, scalable, and usable

Strong product-minded engineering mentality

Comfortable working without rigid specs and iterating quickly

Fluent English, written and verbal

Professional, collaborative, and proactive

Open to feedback and continuous improvement

This Role Is a Great Fit If You

Enjoy taking ownership of real products from early stages

Like working close to founders and decision-makers

Have shipped SaaS products before and know where MVPs tend to break

Care deeply about code quality, maintainability, and scalability

Want meaningful impact on a product with real market potential

Compensation

USD 3000 to 4000 per month

We value real-world production experience over polished portfolios. If you’ve built and shipped meaningful software — and can show it — we want to hear from you.
