Job Title: Remote Full-Stack Engineer – Frontend-Leaning (100% Work From Home)
Location: Remote from Latin America
Position Type: Full-time
Salary: $4,000 - 6,500 USD/month depending on experience
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Time
Our Client:
Our client operates two fast-growing, early-stage AI companies at the forefront of innovation—one focused on AI-powered video tools and the other on healthcare AI solutions for insurance verification.
This role offers a front-row seat to how startups are built.
You will work directly with the CEO across both companies, gaining exposure to product development, investor communications, customer acquisition, operations, and strategic decision-making. You’ll be involved in real conversations, real execution, and real growth.
If you aspire to build your own company one day, this role is a masterclass. You’ll gain more hands-on startup experience in one year than many professionals get in five at a large organization.
High performers will have opportunities to grow into operations, product, or other leadership paths as the companies scale.
Job Overview:
We are hiring a high-ownership Executive Assistant to support the CEO across both companies.
You will manage operations, communications, coordination, and system-building. This is not a passive admin role — it requires organization, judgment, and proactive execution.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy variety, and take pride in building structure where there is ambiguity, this is a strong fit.
Responsibilities:
Technical Ownership & Leadership (Core to This Role)
- Own projects from start to finish: clarify requirements, propose solutions, align stakeholders, execute, and ship
- Break down ambiguous problems into clear milestones and drive delivery
- Identify risks early and proactively resolve blockers
- Lead technical direction within your domain: set standards, guide architecture, and make pragmatic tradeoffs
- Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, code reviews, coaching, and unblocking
- Communicate clearly and proactively: document decisions (ADRs/specs), share progress updates, and align cross-functional teams
Hands-On Full-Stack Development
Frontend
- Build and maintain product features using React + TypeScript
- Contribute to Vue-based components when needed
- Apply strong component architecture principles
- Deliver polished, scalable UI experiences
Backend
- Design and implement backend services using Python/Django (or FastAPI/Flask) and/or Node.js
- Build and consume REST and GraphQL APIs
- Implement real-time features using WebSockets or streaming patterns
- Develop backend logic, data models, and integrations using:
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Celery or background processing systems
Infrastructure & Delivery
- Improve performance, reliability, scalability, and security across the stack
- Contribute to Docker-based development workflows
- Support CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployments
Bonus Domain: AI / LLM Work (Highly Desirable)
- Integrate LLM workflows and AI tooling (e.g., OpenAI APIs, LangChain, Hugging Face)
- Build production-grade AI features with attention to:
- Latency
- Observability
- Cost management
- Safety and guardrails
Qualifications, Skills and Key Competencies:
- 5+ years building production web applications in a full-stack capacity (frontend-leaning is ideal)
- Expert-level React + TypeScript experience
- Strong backend experience with Python/Django (or FastAPI/Flask)
- Solid understanding of:
- REST & GraphQL API design
- Authentication & authorization patterns
- Real-time systems (WebSockets, streaming)
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL, data modeling, and performance tuning
- Experience working with Docker and containerized development
- Availability during 9am–5pm Pacific Time core hours
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
We are specifically looking for candidates who can demonstrate that they have:
- Led complex projects with multiple moving parts and shipped them end-to-end
- Owned system design decisions and navigated tradeoffs across engineering, product, and operations
- Coordinated or mentored other developers (delegation, reviews, unblocking, technical direction)
- Built credibility through consistent delivery, clean execution, and thoughtful communication
This role requires both execution and leadership maturity.
Nice to Haves:
- Go (Golang) for backend services
- Infrastructure/DevOps experience (AWS, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability tooling)
- Messaging and streaming systems (Kafka, Redis Streams, background job architectures)
- UI/UX polish (TailwindCSS, Material UI, Framer Motion, design systems)
- Shipping AI/LLM features beyond prototypes (evaluations, prompt/versioning systems, monitoring, cost controls)
