Senior Full Stack Developer (React / Node / AWS) – Remote | High-Growth Product Team

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer to build, scale, and optimize modern web applications end-to-end.

This is a hands-on role — you’ll write production code daily while also:

  • Shaping architecture
  • Improving performance
  • Mentoring developers

You’ll work across the full stack:

👉 Frontend → Backend → Database → Deployment

If you enjoy shipping real features (not just planning them), this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

1. Full Stack Development (Core Focus)

  • Build end-to-end features across:
    • Frontend (UI)
    • Backend (APIs, logic)
    • Database
  • Deliver clean, scalable, production-ready code

2. Frontend Development

  • Build responsive UIs using:
    • React
    • Angular
    • Vue.js
  • Implement state management:
    • Redux / Context API / Vuex
  • Ensure:
    • Performance
    • Accessibility
    • Cross-device compatibility

3. Backend Development

  • Build APIs using:
    • Node.js
    • Django / Flask
    • Spring Boot
  • Design:
    • REST APIs
    • GraphQL endpoints
  • Optimize backend performance and scalability

4. Database & Data Layer

  • Work with:
    • PostgreSQL
    • MySQL
    • MongoDB
  • Design schemas and optimize queries
  • Implement caching:
    • Redis

5. Testing & Code Quality

  • Write tests using:
    • Jest
    • Cypress
  • Maintain:
    • ≥ 80% code coverage
  • Conduct peer code reviews

6. DevOps & Deployment

  • Use:
    • Git (GitHub / GitLab)
  • Deploy via:
    • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
  • Work with cloud platforms:
    • Amazon Web Services
    • Microsoft Azure
    • Google Cloud Platform

7. Mentorship & Technical Leadership

  • Mentor junior developers
  • Review code and enforce best practices
  • Contribute to architecture and roadmap decisions

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You ship features end-to-end (not just one layer)
  • You balance speed + clean architecture
  • You’re comfortable debugging complex systems
  • You communicate well with product/design teams
  • You raise the level of engineers around you

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 5+ years full stack development experience
  • Strong experience with:
    • JavaScript / TypeScript
    • React + Node.js
  • Experience with:
    • Relational DB + NoSQL DB
  • Familiarity with:
    • Git workflows
    • CI/CD pipelines

Nice to Have

  • SaaS or product-based company experience
  • Microservices or serverless architecture
  • Experience with:
    • Docker
    • Terraform
  • Experience in high-growth environments

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Join standup and align on priorities
  • Build features across frontend + backend
  • Review and merge PRs
  • Debug performance issues
  • Collaborate with product/design
  • Deploy updates via CI/CD
  • Document technical changes

In short:
You are both a builder and technical leader — shipping features while keeping systems scalable.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Features delivered on time
  • Application uptime ≥ 99.9%
  • Code coverage ≥ 80%
  • Reduced technical debt
  • Positive peer + stakeholder feedback

Why This Role Stands Out

  • True full-stack ownership (not siloed work)
  • High impact on product and architecture
  • Opportunity to mentor and lead
  • Fast-paced environment (real shipping, not bureaucracy)
  • Growth into:
    • Tech Lead
    • Engineering Manager

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Recruiter Interview
  • Technical Assessment (build feature end-to-end)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification

View company profile

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
