Are you a senior full stack engineer who thrives on end-to-end ownership, rapid iteration, and building systems from scratch? Do you want to shape the architecture and foundation of a next-gen product with real-world impact? If so, let’s build the future together.

We’re KidGigs, a stealth-mode startup based in Silicon Valley, on a mission to redefine the local marketplace experience through a mobile-first platform that seamlessly connects people and services in a radically new way.

We’re currently looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer (Node.js / AWS / React Native) to lead critical parts of our backend and support mobile feature development. You’ll play a central role in building a high-performance, scalable platform used by thousands of users. If you’re ready to move fast, architect clean solutions, and work with a high-caliber team—this is the opportunity.

What You’ll Do

• Architect, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs using Node.js and AWS serverless services (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB).
• Support frontend feature development by collaborating with the React Native team and contributing to mobile logic when needed.
• Drive end-to-end feature development—from backend logic and data modeling to user-facing functionality—with attention to performance, reliability, and security.
• Work closely with product, design, and mobile teams to shape user experiences and define system architecture.
• Own and drive technical decisions, ensuring clean, maintainable code and scalable solutions.
• Establish best practices, conduct code reviews, and mentor junior developers across the stack.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in full stack or backend development, with strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js.
• Hands-on experience with AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, Cognito, S3).
• Solid understanding of REST API design, backend performance optimization, and scalable infrastructure.
• Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases (especially DynamoDB).
  
   
• Comfortable contributing to React Native (Expo) frontend when needed to support full stack development.
• Familiar with modern development practices, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
• Upper-intermediate or better English, both written and spoken.
  
   

Nice to Have

• Experience with TypeScript-first development across both frontend and backend.
• Familiarity with monorepos (e.g., Nx) and modern build tools like Webpack, Vite, or Metro.
• Exposure to React Native development and publishing apps to the App Store / Google Play.
• Understanding of event-driven architecture and AWS Step Functions.
• Experience working in early-stage startups or building products from 0 to 1.
•  

What We Offer

• Remote-first, flexible work—contribute from anywhere.
• Fast-moving environment where your ideas and work have a direct impact.
• Collaborative team of high-caliber engineers and founders.
• Competitive salary: $1,700–$2,000/month, based on experience and interview performance.
• Opportunity to grow into Tech Lead roles as we scale.
