Full Stack Developer (Backend Heavy, Node.js / AWS Serverless) - 100% Remote

Read this before you click apply

Answer the three questions below in the field "What interests you about working for this company?" of the application form. Start your answer with the word "Schaffhausen". Applications without the answers or without that word are rejected without review.

1. Name one backend feature you built on AWS Lambda in production. Which company, what the endpoint did, and how you deployed it.
2. Where have you used React and Next.js in production? Name the company, describe how you handled state management and rendering (SSR / SSG / client-side), and name one decision you would make differently today.
3. Confirm you have read the compensation and the notice period: $1,000 / ₹90,000 net per month, fixed, no negotiation, and a notice period of 30 days at most. Yes or no.

If you have not done 1 or 2 in production, say so. An honest no is fine. Answers that do not match your CV end the application. Write the answers yourself.

Do Not Apply If

• Your AWS work is server or container based (EC2, ECS, EKS, Fargate) rather than Lambda
• Node.js is not your primary backend language
• You have never shipped React and Next.js to production
• You have less than 3 years of professional development experience
• Your notice period is longer than 30 days
• You run a company, freelance on the side or hold a co-founder role. This position is full time and exclusive

About the Role

We're looking for a full stack developer who respects existing architecture. Gumb has a production codebase that works, and we need an engineer who takes ownership of it rather than rewriting it in the latest framework. If you're uncomfortable working with legacy systems, this role isn't for you.

Most of your work is on our serverless backend on AWS, with the remainder on our React frontend. The split is roughly 60% backend, 40% frontend. The architecture is set and the deployment pipeline exists. Your job is shipping features inside it, not designing it from scratch.

This is a mid-level position alongside a senior backend engineer. The senior role owns the architecture and the Serverless Framework configuration. If your background is deep AWS serverless architecture with no frontend work, apply to our Backend Developer posting instead, which sits at a higher compensation band.
