Senior Full-Stack Developer (Node.js / React / AWS)

Progressive83 is hiring a Full-Stack Developer (Remote, Pakistan)

Company: Progressive83 (P83) — a live B2B SaaS platform used by home service businesses to manage bookings, contractors, payments, and customer communications.

Location: Remote — Pakistan
Type: Full-time, independent contractor
Salary: $2,000 USD/month
Hours: 40 hours/week, with minimum 3-hour overlap with UK business hours (11am–6pm PKT minimum)
Start date: ASAP

About the Role

You'll work directly with the founder on a live SaaS platform serving real paying customers. This is a hands-on, product-focused role — you'll ship features across backend, web apps, and mobile on a daily basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong mid-level developer (3–5 years experience) who wants to level up into a senior role while working on a production platform end-to-end.

We use AI-assisted development (Claude Code) as part of daily workflow — so you'll be building with modern tools that 10x your productivity.

What You'll Do

• Build new features across backend (API), web apps, and mobile
• Fix bugs and improve existing functionality
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code
• Participate in code reviews and daily async standups
• Deploy through our development → staging → production pipeline
• Monitor production for issues and respond during your working hours
• Work closely with the founder on priorities and roadmap
• Use Claude Code (AI pair programming) as part of daily workflow

Our Tech Stack

Backend:

• Node.js 20 + NestJS + TypeScript
• PostgreSQL + TypeORM
• Redis, Bull queues
• Socket.io (WebSocket real-time)
• Auth0 (JWT authentication)

Frontend:

• Next.js 14 + React 18 + Ant Design (business dashboard)
• Vite + React 18 (booking widget)
• Vite + React Admin (admin panel)

Mobile:

• React Native 0.74 + Redux Toolkit
• Firebase (push notifications)
• Fastlane (builds)

Infrastructure (AWS):

• ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL, ElastiCache Redis, S3, SQS, Route53
• Managed via Terraform
• GitHub Actions CI/CD

Integrations:

• Stripe Connect (payments)
• Auth0, SendGrid, Twilio
• Google Maps, Firebase

Required Skills

• 3+ years of full-stack development experience
• Strong Node.js and TypeScript
• Working knowledge of NestJS (or willingness to learn quickly)
• React experience (Next.js preferred)
• PostgreSQL — writing queries, understanding joins, basic optimisation
• Git — branches, PRs, code review workflow
• Docker basics
• Strong written English — most of our communication is async
• Reliable internet and backup power — production work requires you online consistently

Nice to Have (Big Plus)

• React Native experience (we'd rely on you for mobile work)
• AWS experience — ECS, RDS, S3 at minimum
• Stripe API experience (Connect especially)
• WebSocket / Socket.io for real-time features
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot)
• Previous SaaS product experience

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Curious and self-directed — you Google, read docs, and try things before asking
• Clear communicator — you explain your work in writing, not just code
• Quality-focused — you test your work before marking it done
• Reliable — you show up when you say you will and deliver what you commit to
• Growth mindset — you want to learn AWS, DevOps, and architecture along the way
• Honest about blockers — you flag problems early rather than hiding them

Who This Role Is NOT For

Being honest to save everyone's time:

• Junior devs under 2 years — you'll be overwhelmed with the scope
• Developers who only want to work on one narrow area (frontend-only or backend-only)
• People who can't work independently without constant supervision
• Anyone who hasn't worked in production environments before

Our Workflow

• Remote, work from home — flexible hours within overlap window
• Daily async standup (written Slack message, 2 mins)
• Weekly 1:1 video call with the founder
• Ship to production multiple times per week
• Code review on every PR — we don't merge without review
• AI-assisted coding encouraged (Claude Code provided)
• Local development with docker-compose

Compensation & Benefits

• $2,000 USD/month (fixed monthly, paid via Wise or Payoneer)
• Independent contractor — you handle your local taxes
• 21 paid days off per year (standard + Pakistan public holidays)
• Performance-based raises — real possibility of $2,500-3,000 within 12 months based on delivery
• AI tools covered — Claude Pro subscription provided
• Learning support — $300/year for courses, books, or conferences
• Potential equity discussion after 12 months for standout performers

Why Join Progressive83

• Work directly with the founder — no layers of management, no politics
• Real ownership of features you ship
• Modern stack — you'll level up fast working across NestJS, React Native, AWS
• AI-native workflow — learn to build with Claude Code (a genuine career skill multiplier)
• Growth path — prove yourself in 12 months and there's room to grow to senior with significant raise
• Small team — your work has visible impact on real customers every week

Pay: Rs200,000.00 - Rs300,000.00 per month

Work Location: Remote
