Description
Penbrothers is an HR & remote talent management partner and one of the fastest-growing companies in the Philippines. We provide talented Filipinos with global opportunities in high-growth startups and dynamic companies, from the comfort of their own homes.
Our client is a New York-based company managing multiple projects across diverse client engagements. The team partners closely with third-party agencies and cross-functional stakeholders to drive successful project delivery and meet evolving business needs.
We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer with strong experience in React and Next.js to build, enhance, and maintain modern enterprise web applications. This role focuses on developing scalable, user-focused software products rather than marketing websites or campaign pages. The ideal candidate is a product-minded engineer who can contribute across the full application lifecycle, from designing technical solutions to building, testing, deploying, and improving production systems. The role also requires hands-on experience working with Content Management Systems (CMS), particularly headless CMS platforms. Experience with platforms such as Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, Ghost, or similar CMS solutions is highly relevant. The specific CMS platform is flexible, but practical experience working with headless CMS environments is required. You will collaborate with engineers, product managers, designers, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable and scalable applications that support evolving business needs. As part of a globally distributed engineering team, you will work during the Philippines daytime schedule to provide broader engineering coverage and collaboration.
