DESCRIPTION
Lead Full-Stack Developer (Reliability Engineer)
Full Time · Remote · Americas Only
If you’re a senior engineer who wants true autonomy, zero bureaucracy, and the chance to own a critical part of a fast-growing SaaS product, this role is for you.
We’re a profitable, bootstrapped workflow automation SaaS serving transportation finance companies. In just one year, we’ve captured 10% of the entire market, entirely through referrals — and we have zero churn.
We’re a small team of highly experienced generalists who focus on building product, not managing layers.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Lead Full-Stack Developer (Reliability Engineer) to own the Stability \& Operations track of the platform.
This is a Senior Individual Contributor role:
No junior team, no people management, no micromanagement. Pure ownership.
What You Will Do
Turn business requirements into shipped code with full autonomy
Spend 80–90% of your time coding
Build and improve internal tools for monitoring, reliability, and stability
Fix bugs and handle tightly-scoped features
Work directly with B2B clients on L2/L3 technical issues
Own Sentry logs, queue health, and implementation-quality decisions
Write deployment/setup documentation for future senior hires
Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor) to eliminate boilerplate — you’re the pilot, AI is the co-pilot
In short: you will lead reliability end-to-end and ensure the product never breaks.
Who You Are
10+ years in startups or small, high-performance teams
A true senior generalist who thrives without handholding or bureaucracy
Strong problem-solving skills and deep experience owning production systems
Comfortable making technical decisions quickly and cleanly
Someone who learns new technologies fast and ships reliably
Fluent in spoken and written English
Based anywhere in the Americas (to align with US business hours)
