Senior Fullstack Developer (Next.js + Node.js) – Musictech Startup to $2000

Location: Remote

Type: Contract-to-Hire (Part-Time, 30+ hrs/week or Full-Time)

About Exibeat

Exibeat is building a marketplace for discovering and sharing electronic music. We help DJs, producers, and labels connect and exchange music.

We are a small team of 1 product owner, 1 UX/UI designer, 1 tech lead and 1 junior fullstack dev. We’re looking for a senior fullstack developer to help finalize and launch our MVP. This is a full-time role (or 30h+/week), depending on availability and agreement on compensation.
 

Compensation

We’re currently pre-funding, so we can’t offer full market-rate salaries yet. Here’s what we can provide for now:

• €1,000/month for full-time involvement during the pre-funding phase
• An additional €1,000/month (for past and ongoing work) to be paid after our next funding round
• Compensation will be reviewed and adjusted after fundraising (expected end of 2025–early 2026)
• You’ll also receive virtual stock options (VSOP) post-funding

What You’ll Be Working On

We’re close to launch, so the MVP is mostly built. You’ll help improve features, add new ones, and support the tech foundation as we grow:

• Build and refine features using Next.js and MongoDB
• Help to improve backend architecture (we’re exploring Nest.js)
• Work on audio features (music listening and sharing)
• Support infra, caching (Redis), and deployment (DigitalOcean, possible AWS migration)
• Develop ML-based music matching features (if you have some skills in the topic)

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of full-stack experience
• Strong with JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js/Nest.js
• Experience with MongoDB, Redis, and cloud platforms
• Bonus: experience with ML or a passion for music (especially electronic)
• Independent, proactive, and accountable, with a strong sense of ownership

Why Join Us?

• Build for a global electronic music community
• Clear ownership of tech – we handle product and design
• Flexible remote work
• Opportunity to grow into a tech leadership role with us
