You are experienced with modern best practices for automated testing, CI/CD, git, etc. and can help us improve where we need it
You have experience organizing large projects for reliability, testability, performance, and upgradeability and you have opinions on how best to do these things
You like to take ownership of projects and donโt need a lot of oversight or handholding
You understand the high-level goals goals of a project and create code that meets those goals, integrates elegantly with the rest of the codebase, and is ready for the future
You like to architect a project so it will be maintainable, testable, and extensible in the future. Thinking ahead is a key aspect of development for you

Work when and how you want - we care about results not your hours
Your work will go directly into the hands of users and youโll have a real impact
Work directly with the founders and get firsthand experience building and growing a bootstrapped SaaS company
Focus on deliberate growth and speed, not burnout-level pressure. Our goal is to build wonderful products over years, not push our team to the edge.

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
