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.

The product already has a functioning MVP and early validation. Your role will be to take it from “working” to production-ready — ensuring it is stable, scalable, secure, and polished enough for a public launch and real-world usage.

This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role with significant ownership and influence over the product’s technical direction.

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.
