Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

We’re seeking a Full Stack Engineer to help build scalable, intelligent infrastructure from the ground up. This is a 0-to-1 opportunity to shape how our platform operates, integrates, and scales—combining backend services, enterprise integrations, and AI-powered capabilities.

You’ll work directly with the Principal Architect & Engineer, Data Engineer, Frontend Engineer, and Product/Design team as a foundational technical leader. This is a generalist role where you’ll flex across domains based on company priorities—not operate in a silo.

Responsibilities

Core Services & Backend

  • Design and build secure, scalable backend services powering user-facing features.
  • Develop APIs, authentication systems (OAuth, JWT), and distributed processing workflows.
  • Implement storage, processing, and versioning systems for core product functionality.

Integrations & Data Pipelines

  • Build connectors to enterprise systems and third-party software.
  • Design and implement data ingestion, migration, and synchronization pipelines.
  • Optimize relational and NoSQL database performance and query efficiency.

Platform & Infrastructure

  • Architect secure, multi-tenant systems aligned with SOC 2 and compliance standards.
  • Manage AWS infrastructure (ECS, Lambda, Aurora/RDS, S3, CloudWatch).
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, observability, and production reliability.
  • Ensure performance, scalability, and operational excellence at scale.

Frontend & Product Collaboration

  • Develop frontend workflows using React and TypeScript.
  • Integrate AI-powered features into user-facing workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with product and design to influence roadmap decisions.

Requirements

Must Have

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
  • 2+ years at an early-stage startup (0-to-1 build experience).
  • Proven experience building production-ready systems at scale.
  • Strong ownership mindset with end-to-end initiative leadership.
  • Strong fundamentals in APIs, distributed systems, databases, security, and cloud architecture.
  • Product mindset—ability to influence what gets built, not just how it’s built.
  • Must be located in Latam.

Technical Requirements

  • React, HTML, CSS
  • TypeScript/Node.js and/or Python
  • PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases
  • AWS (ECS, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, CloudWatch)
  • API design and authentication (OAuth, JWT)
  • Observability and monitoring tools
  • Security best practices and compliance awareness

Nice to Have

  • Mobile application development experience
  • B2B SaaS or enterprise software background
  • Experience with AI/ML applications or knowledge management systems
  • Data migration tools or enterprise integration systems
  • Experience building multi-tenant architectures

Benefits

  • Work remotely Monday - Friday, 40 hours a week (no weekends)
  • Vacation: 10 business days a year
  • Holidays: 5 National Holidays a year
  • Company Holidays: 5 Company Holidays a year (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Zipdev Day)
  • Parental Leave
  • Health Care Reimbursement
  • Active Lifestyle Reimbursement
  • Quarterly Home Office Reimbursement
  • Payroll Deduction Purchase Plans
  • Longevity Bonus
  • Continuous Learning Bonus
  • Access to Training and Professional Development Platforms

Our Story

Why was Zipdev Founded?

Zipdev’s co-founders, Mike Lenny and Daniel Altenburg, first met while living in Lima, Peru, where they earned each other’s trust playing rugby and traveling around Latin America together. Zipdev was born after they had both moved back to San Diego, when Mike asked Daniel for help finding solid software engineers to help develop an app he wanted to build.

At first they struggled to find the right option. Trying to build out a full team software development team in California was costly, and a couple false starts with teams in disparate time zones was discouraging. But soon they realized that they had a resource that they knew well right in their own backyard: Latin America.

So after much searching and relationship building, Mike and Daniel found some very talented software engineers to work with. They then spread the word about their experience with members of the San Diego startup community, some of whom convinced them to start Zipdev and became its first customers in 2015.

Zipdev has since grown into a multidisciplinary team of recruiters, software engineers, designers, QA testers, project managers, product owners, and more spanning multiple cities in the United States and Latin America and all dedicated to providing its clients with dependable technology professionals whether remote or onsite.
