Remote Full-Stack Product Engineer / App Manager
Location: Philippines – Remote
Hours: Initially 20–30 hours per week, with potential to become full-time
Position: Long-term
Industry: Technology / Medical Aesthetics
About the Platform
We have developed a new online professional community and platform for the medical aesthetics industry.
The platform is already built and operational and includes a professional forum/community, practitioner functionality and a growing range of features.
We are now looking for a technically strong and reliable person to take day-to-day ownership of the platform, maintain it and work with us to continue developing it.
The platform has been developed using modern web technologies with significant use of AI-assisted development, including Claude Code. We are therefore particularly interested in developers who are highly comfortable using AI coding tools to develop, troubleshoot and improve an existing application.
The Role
You will become the main technical person responsible for the platform.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Understanding and documenting the existing codebase and architecture
- Managing and maintaining the live application
- Fixing bugs and technical issues
- Developing new features
- Managing the database and backend
- Managing deployments and version control
- Maintaining GitHub repositories
- Monitoring application performance and errors
- Maintaining backups and security
- Managing APIs and third-party integrations
- Working with our existing website, marketing and design teams
- Improving UI/UX where required
- Testing changes before they are released
- Using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or GitHub Copilot to accelerate development
- Advising us when there is a better technical solution rather than simply implementing instructions
We do not expect every line of code to be written manually. We actively encourage intelligent use of AI development tools. However, you must have sufficient development experience to understand, review, test and troubleshoot AI-generated code rather than relying blindly on AI.
Skills We Are Looking For
Strong experience with several of the following:
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- React and/or Next.js
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL and modern database systems
- Supabase and/or Firebase
- REST APIs and third-party integrations
- Git / GitHub
- Cloud deployment and hosting
- Authentication and user permissions
- Database migrations and backups
- Application security
- Responsive web/mobile development
- Error monitoring and debugging
Experience with community platforms, forums, SaaS products, marketplaces, directories, social networks or membership platforms would be particularly useful.
Experience using Claude Code or similar AI coding agents in real development projects is highly desirable.
The Person We Want
We are looking for somebody who can take ownership rather than waiting for detailed technical instructions.
For example, we may say:
«“We want users to be notified when someone replies to their forum post.”»
We would expect you to understand the requirement, identify the best technical approach, implement it safely, test it and deploy it.
You should be:
- Technically capable
- Resourceful
- Reliable
- Good at problem-solving
- Comfortable working independently
- Able to communicate technical issues in simple English
- Organised and responsive
- Interested in a long-term position
Initial Project
Your first task will be to carry out a technical audit of the existing platform.
This will include reviewing:
- Codebase
- Application architecture
- Database
- Hosting
- Authentication
- APIs
- Security
- Backups
- Deployment process
- GitHub/version control
- Third-party services
- Performance and error monitoring
You will then provide recommendations and help us establish a stable development, staging and production workflow before continuing development.
How to Apply
Please send:
1. A brief introduction about yourself.
2. Your current location in the Philippines.
3. Your availability and preferred working hours.
4. Your expected hourly or monthly salary.
5. Links to 2–3 web applications you have personally worked on.
6. Details of exactly what you were responsible for on those projects.
7. Your experience with React/Next.js and backend/database development.
8. Your experience using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot or other AI development tools.
9. Your experience taking over and maintaining an existing codebase written by someone else.
10. Your GitHub profile, if available.
Please also answer this question:
You inherit a working web application that has been developed rapidly using Claude Code and several third-party services. Before adding any new features, what are the first five things you would check and why?
Please write your answer yourself rather than using AI to generate a generic response. We are more interested in your actual experience and thought process than a perfect answer.
This is intended to be a long-term role for the right person, with the opportunity to take increasing technical responsibility as the platform grows.
