Our Stack
TypeScript / Node.js · Next.js · React · Apollo Server · Express · PostgreSQL · GCP · Docker · Python (ML/data workloads). We’re pragmatic — the right tool matters more than the familiar one.

Working Arrangements:
This role is a full-time contract position. You’ll work closely with our core engineering team — embedded in our sprints, standups, and Slack channels — but employment is managed through the agency. We’ve built this model successfully with engineers in Latin America, and it’s been a great fit for both sides.
