I'm working with a SaaS start-up in the B2B retail space they've just closed Series A and are kicking off a new payments platform for their client base. They're building smart tools for retailers to manage suppliers, stock, and payments all in one place.
They need a strong full stack JavaScript contractor to help lead this greenfield build. You'll be working closely with the CTO and product team to bring the new feature to life.
The stack:
* Frontend: Vue3, TypeScript
* Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe API, GraphQL exposure, RESTful API design
* Infrastructure: Docker, AWS, CI/CD Pipelines
What they need from you:
* 5+ years of full stack JavaScript experience with strong commercial use of Vue and Node
* Ability to design, develop and document scalable APIs and microservices
* Comfortable integrating third-party services (Stripe experience essential)
* Experience managing PostgreSQL databases and designing relational data models
* Strong TypeScript fundamentals and ability to enforce typing and testing standards
* Familiar with containerised environments and deploying via AWS
* Confident in handling security, authentication and role-based access at scale
* Ability to work independently and make architectural decisions when needed
* Experience in Agile teams and communicating directly with product/CTO maintainable code
Why this one's worth a look:
* Fully greenfield project
* Direct influence over how it's built
* Outside IR35
* Clean, modern stack
* Fast feedback loop and minimal red tape
