About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to support the ongoing development of model-scouting.com, a platform built on Strapi that requires strong technical execution, scalability, and new feature development. The role involves both core application development and the creation of web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extensions, so a strong understanding of modern JavaScript ecosystems is essential.

This role is ideal for someone with solid experience in React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and who has worked on complex, high-traffic platforms similar to the profile shared by the client (e.g., experience in multi-module platforms, APIs, integrations, architecting features, and mentoring teams). Candidates who can contribute to architecture, performance optimization, and hands-on development will be prioritized.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement new features for model-scouting.com, built on Strapi.
• Design and build web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extension tools.
• Collaborate on architectural decisions, technical design, and planning.
• Ensure strong code quality, performance, and scalability.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve technical issues across the stack.
• Optimize applications for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
• Work with APIs, data pipelines, and integrations as needed.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience with React and its ecosystem (Hooks, Redux, testing libraries).
• Advanced experience with Node.js, NestJS, Express, GraphQL, and REST APIs.
• Proficiency with PostgreSQL and relational database modeling.
• Hands-on experience with Strapi or similar headless CMS.
• Ability to build web scrapers (e.g., Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio).
• Experience integrating AI tools, plugins, or OpenAI APIs is a plus.
• Strong understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred), CI/CD, containers, and deployment pipelines.
• A track record of working on complex platforms, building features end-to-end, and collaborating with product/engineering teams.
