founding fullstack engineer (MERN)

We’re a fast\-growing B2B SaaS startup serving a US customer base — including US city governments and exciting global brands. Small team, big impact. Teams at organizations like **Adidas, Prada, and Yale** use our software every day. We’re hiring a **Founding Engineer** — someone who wants to build the product, shape the company, and operate like an owner from day one. What you’ll do * Build and ship production features using **React.js, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and Next.js** * **Own problems end\-to\-end: discovery → solution design → implementation → deployment → iteration** * **Work directly with customers and see your impact in real time** * **Collaborate across product, growth, and business — you’ll be close to everything** * **Help define engineering culture, quality bar, and how we build** What makes this role different This is not a “follow instructions” role. We’re looking for someone who: * Thinks like an owner — not an employee * Doesn’t wait for perfect specs * Challenges assumptions and asks *why* before jumping into *how* * **Questions everything (product decisions, UX, technical choices, go\-to\-market ideas)** * **Brings strong opinions, but holds them loosely** * **Wants to shape** *what* we build, not just *how* we build it Who you are You’re a strong full\-stack engineer — but you’re not “just” an engineer. You’re **interdisciplinary** and curious about how great products get built. You might find yourself thinking about: * **UI/UX and design systems** * **Product strategy and customer experience** * **Growth** (activation, onboarding, funnels, retention) * Storytelling, brand, and positioning * Or even “non\-traditional” areas like **art, aesthetics, and creative tooling** You enjoy wearing many hats because you care about the *whole product* , not just the code. You’ll thrive here if you’re inherently international Our team is fully remote and globally distributed — and we genuinely love working across countries, cultures, and time zones. This role is especially great for someone who: * Enjoys collaborating with people from different backgrounds * Loves travel, exploration, and meeting new people * Is excited by the idea of being **digital\-nomad friendly** * **Wants to work from different countries over time** * **Values team chemistry and enjoys building with others** Requirements * Strong full\-stack experience shipping real software * Entrepreneurial mindset required (bonus if you’ve founded or co\-founded a startup) * High agency: you can take vague problems and turn them into shipped solutions * Builder/craftsperson energy — speed *and* quality matter to you Why join * **Team of \<10** , fully remote \& globally distributed (US, Canada, Germany, India, South America) * Experiment\-driven “startup lab” culture * Travel encouraged: team trips \& meetups (Thailand, Dubai, South America, US) * Digital\-nomad friendly * High ownership, real customer impact, zero bureaucracy
