This is a remote, project-based role for software engineers with 1–3 years of professional experience. You will complete tasks spanning software development, debugging, code review, and technical implementation across a variety of stacks and applications. Work is over the next 2–3 weeks, asynchronous, and assigned on a project-by-project basis, with an expected commitment of 10–20 hours per week for the projects you accept. This position offers exceptional pay, exposure to real-world engineering problems, and a strong addition to your professional portfolio.
What you'll do
- Design, implement, and ship clean, well-tested code across a variety of projects and technology stacks
- Debug, refactor, and optimize existing codebases for performance, maintainability, and scalability
- Participate in code reviews, providing and incorporating constructive technical feedback
- Collaborate asynchronously on technical specifications, architecture decisions, and implementation plans
- Document code, APIs, and technical approaches clearly and reproducibly
Requirements
- 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience in a full-time or equivalent role
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language and its associated ecosystem
- Demonstrated ability to independently scope, implement, and deliver software features or fixes
- Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and system design
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)
Preferred qualifications
- Experience working across multiple layers of the stack — frontend, backend, APIs, or infrastructure
- Familiarity with version control workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development practices (e.g., Git, GitHub Actions, or similar)
- Exposure to cloud platforms and deployment environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar)
