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
