About the Role
We're hiring a Full-Stack Web Developer to build and ship web products for US-based clients at Bolder Apps. You'll own features end to end, from the database and API to the React interface users actually touch. Our stack is React and Next.js on the frontend and Node.js on the backend. We use AI coding tools every day, and we still need people who have built real backends and real frontends with their own hands, and who can tell when generated code is almost right but wrong. If you've shipped full-stack products to production and want to work directly with founders, we want to talk.
Responsibilities
•Build and ship full-stack features for client web products, from data model and API through to the React and Next.js interface
•Design and maintain backend services and APIs in Node.js, including auth, integrations, background jobs, and database work
•Build fast, accessible, responsive frontends in React and Next.js, including server rendering and routing where it fits
•Turn product briefs and designs into working software, and push back early when scope or technical approach is wrong
•Use AI coding tools to move faster, then review, test, and own every line before it reaches production
•Keep code clean, tested, and documented so the next engineer can pick it up
•Work directly with PMs, designers, and US clients on estimates, trade-offs, and launch risk
•Deploy, monitor, and fix production issues on the apps you build
Requirements
•3+ years building production web applications where you personally wrote both the backend and the frontend. Your portfolio or work history shows shipped products, not only tutorials or demos
•Strong hands-on React experience
•Production experience with Node.js, or another popular backend language such as Python, with a clear path to Node.js. You have designed APIs, worked with relational databases, and handled auth and third-party integrations
•TypeScript and modern JavaScript fluency
•Git, code review, testing, and careful production deploys
•You use Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or similar daily, and you can catch and fix what they get wrong
•English at C1 or above. Client calls and written updates go out in your voice
•Available through roughly 5 PM EST for live client coordination
•Honest estimates, early blockers, finished work
Nice to Have
•Next.js in production is a strong plus
•Agency or multi-client experience
•Cloud and hosting experience (Vercel, AWS, or similar)
•Experience with Postgres, Prisma, or Supabase
•Some React Native or mobile exposure
Conditions
•Full-time, fully remote role, with overlap into US Eastern time for client coordination
•Opportunity to build exciting products for the US market
•Steady pipeline of client work as part of a growing team
•Real autonomy over how you design and build, with no rigid playbook
•Direct line to decision-makers, no extra layers between you and the people who own the outcome
•A peer network of product-minded engineers working on overlapping projects
