About Apexti:
Join Apexti, a dynamic seed-round startup with a clear vision: to be the Apex of Technology Innovation. We're building novel solutions with bleeding-edge technology, all aimed at making people's lives genuinely delightful. We're a team of brilliant, high-integrity individuals who are passionate about innovation, value supportive collaboration, and believe in having fun while delivering results.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking a highly skilled and adaptable Frontend Full-Stack Developer to be a foundational member of our fully remote team. This is an initial contract-to-hire engagement with strong potential for a long-term partnership as a full-time employee.
You will directly impact our product's trajectory by owning the development of our web application, primarily leveraging Lit and Shoelace. Your expertise will significantly accelerate our core engineers' focus on product functionality by expertly handling all web-based development. This role demands a pragmatic problem-solver who embraces rapidly changing priorities and is proficient in rapid iteration – quickly delivering basic versions for validation and continuous refinement.
What You'll Do:
* Develop and maintain the web application's frontend and backend, prioritizing the delivery of highly delightful user experiences crucial for product success.
* Take immediate ownership of the UI (built with Lit and Shoelace), enhancing and extending its functionality and design.
* Immerse yourself in the product, using it personally and professionally, to inform and inspire UI development.
* Collaborate closely with our UX/UI designer and engineering team to translate concepts and business logic into compelling, functional interfaces.
* Implement necessary website changes and new features, adapting to evolving product requirements.
* Actively experiment with and integrate generative AI tools into your workflow to maximize efficiency and explore new possibilities.
What We're Looking For:
* 5+ years of full-stack web development experience, with a primary focus on frontend excellence.
* Mandatory expertise in Lit and Shoelace.
* Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and modern web development practices.
* Solid backend skills, including experience with a server-side language/framework and database systems.
* Proven capacity for high initiative, independent problem-solving, and thriving in a dynamic, remote startup environment.
* Exceptional communication skills (English) and proficiency with Notion, Linear, Slack, and Zoom.
* Comfort with asynchronous workflows and availability for collaboration across US (East Coast, Mountain, West) and German time zones.
* A genuine passion for delivering delightful user experiences.
Preferred: Experience with cloud platforms, specific CI/CD tools, or strong understanding of web performance optimization.
Compensation & Work Model:
* Hourly Rate: Competitive, ranging from $50 - $100 USD, commensurate with experience.
* Work Model: Full-time (40 hours/week), fully remote with significant autonomy. You'll manage your own schedule while ensuring availability for team collaboration.
* Equipment: We can provide necessary equipment to ensure you're set up for success.
* Potential for Full-Time: A successful contract period could lead to a long-term partnership as a full-time employee, where you'd be eligible for a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our team.
