We’re self-funded, profitable, and sustainable. When you work with us, you get a stable and predictable long-running engagement, in a low-stress environment.
You have expertise in Node, APIs (OpenAPI), and SQL. Everything else is a nice-to-have, and can be picked up on the job.
Your first project:
We have a codebase in Flask/Python that we need to port to Express/Node with OpenAPI. The project uses Postgres as a database.

About the engagement:
Fully remote. Work in a place you prefer. Most of the work can be done async. However you need to be available with approximately 4 hour overlap during UTC+2 office hours for sync work. We'll sometimes do video calls to discuss code and work together, but most of the time you'll work on your own. We're flexible on the day you want to work, and on the office hours.

We'll sometimes do video calls to discuss code and work together, but most of the time you'll work on your own. We're flexible on the day you want to work, and on the office hours.
Initially about 2 days/week (64-80 hours/month), with occasional additional days according to our needs. You need to be available for occasional video calls, and we are flexible regarding the scheduling. You'll work together with the main developer in improving code and building new things.
6 month engagement, moving to an ongoing commitment if both sides are satisfied with the initial engagement. There is a chance of increasing the monthly hours in the future, but this is not something we can promise.
The engagement will be a contractor engagement, and you are responsible for your own taxes and insurance.
We welcome applications from within and outside of the EU.
Things you’ll do:
- Regularly update dependencies
- Fix bugs
- Develop with OpenAPI and other APIs
- Write tests, e.g. E2E tests
- Make sure our code is secure, e.g. dive into OAuth
- Code new features and improve existing features
- Clean up the existing code
- Discuss, decide, and implement new technology with us: currently we're looking into a distributed db, and a queue system.
Our tech stack:
- Node 16
- Express and Atlassian Connect Express
- Vue, looking into Quasar
- Postgres and SQLite
- S3
- many APIs
- Heroku and Scalingo for hosting, and we will add other hosting providers soon.
Tools we use:
- Email - the preferred way to communicate
- Git, gitlab - for version control and issues
- Gitpod for online editing (WIP)
- Nextcloud
- Orgmode - for task management. We probably move to something else soon.
- Emacs, however we're open to your favourite editor.
- Slack and Video - because sometimes synchronous communication is necessary.
About us:
We’re a small, fully remote team, mostly in Europe. Our company is based in the Netherlands.
Our attitude:
- Keep things simple: this goes for our product, our processes, and our code base.
- Get things done: finish tasks, test and integrate before starting the next thing.
- Work in a low-stress environment: We get our work done, but without unrealistic, strict deadlines and without undue pressure.
About you:
- You are smart and get things done.
- You speak good English.
- You have solid experience in Node, APIs and SQL. Some experience with vue is a plus.
- You are able to demonstrate past work.
- You enjoy learning new technologies.
- The time zone where you live is within +/- 4 hours of Central European Standard Time.
