Full-Stack Engineer

The ideal candidate will possess strong problem-solving skills, solid front-end and back-end experience, and the communication skills to work independently with minimal support.

You'll be the sole engineer on this contract, which means you're also effectively the product owner for your own work. You should be comfortable defining the problem, proposing the solution, and owning end-to-end delivery.

Timezone: This role requires working Eastern Time hours (ET). normally 8:30am-6:00pm, with some extended hours and weekends for urgent projects. We recognize this is a significant ask for candidates. That said, it's a firm requirement; we've found that overlapping hours are essential for the pace and collaboration this role demands.

One more thing

Data is vital to the success of our organization and a significant aspect of every role we have. If your default reaction to "can you pull that data?" is "that's a data analyst job," this probably isn't the right fit.

**Candidates should live within 3 hours +/- of the EDT time zone.

• Provide realistic time and effort estimates (and flag early when something is off)
• Propose alternative approaches when a better path exists
• Pull and interpret data from the systems you're building and maintaining, including our database, integrations, and third-party platforms
• Collaborate closely with leadership, product, and operations teams
• Help shape technical direction and engineering best practices as the platform evolves

Hourly Rate: $20-40/hour, depending on experience

Engagement Structure

This contract starts with approximately 1-2 months of near full-time work to implement critical feature enhancements, then transitions to a reduced, as-needed arrangement for maintenance and incremental improvements. It's a good fit for someone between primary roles who wants consistent, ongoing supplemental work once their primary roles change.
