JOB OVERVIEW

We're building a portfolio of SaaS products (cybersecurity, AI, education, supplements/e-commerce), all sharing one tech stack: Python/FastAPI backend, Next.js 14 frontend, PostgreSQL on Railway. Looking for a part-time engineer to help build real features across these products, working alongside Claude Code (an AI coding assistant) under a structured, safety-focused workflow.

What you'd do:
- Work on real feature branches, following a proper PR-based Git workflow (never pushing directly to production)
- Build backend endpoints (FastAPI) and frontend features (Next.js) following our existing patterns
- Follow strict guardrails around tenant isolation, secrets management, and safe rollouts, we take this seriously even at small scale
- Read and understand existing code before making changes, ask when something's ambiguous

What we're looking for:
- Real, demonstrable experience with Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, even from personal projects or coursework
- Comfort using Git and following a PR-based workflow
- Comfort using AI coding tools like Claude Code, or genuine willingness to learn quickly
- Careful, safety-conscious approach, we'd rather you ask a question than guess on anything touching real data or production

Pay: part-time, $ ---------- /month depending on experience and hours, similar range to our other part-time technical roles. This is a real opportunity to grow with a multi-product portfolio, not just script maintenance.
