Replit developer

Build, iterate, and maintain applications in Replit: from basic dashboards to multi-step workflow/CRM tools.

• Work outcome-first: understand the real business need, design a sensible solution, and keep the implementation as simple as possible.

• Use AI and vibe-coding to move faster, while owning the final quality, architecture, and reliability of what ships.

• Collaborate on requirements, UX, and iteration with a small, technical founder-led team.

Core responsibilities

• Design and implement front-end interfaces in React with strong UX and visual clarity.

• Build and maintain Node-based APIs, integrate multiple third-party services, and manage data flows end-to-end.

• Use Replit as your main environment for development, collaboration, and deployment.

• Break fuzzy requirements into small, testable increments and ship vertical slices rather than big-bang releases.

• Debug, refine, and extend existing codebases, including AI-generated code, to keep them robust and understandable.

• Add basic observability: logs, simple monitoring, and clear error handling so issues are easy to spot and fix.

Replit, AI, and workflow mindset

• You are comfortable living inside a cloud dev environment (Replit) for editing, running, and deploying apps.

• You work naturally in small steps: define the outcome, ship a minimal version, validate, then iterate.

• You know how to use AI to scaffold and refactor, but you always review the output, simplify where needed, and keep the design coherent.

• You treat Replit projects as long-lived applications, not disposable prototypes: structure, naming, and organisation matter to you.

Do you have experience in UX?, You have enough real coding experience to know when AI is wrong, over-engineering, or drifting away from the core outcome, and you can correct course yourself.

• You can confidently read and edit JavaScript/TypeScript: functions, async/await, data structures, and control flow are comfortable.

• You have strong API experience:

• Reading and understanding API documentation.

• Handling auth (keys, tokens), pagination, rate limits, and error responses.

• Mapping and transforming data between systems.

• You are comfortable integrating several APIs into a single workflow (e.g. CRM, email, payment, reporting) and keeping the design maintainable.

• You understand environments and deployment basics: environment variables/secrets, staging vs production, and simple build/release flows.

Front-end / UI & UX

• You can build clean, component-based UIs in React with hooks and modern patterns.

• You think in terms of user journeys: navigation, multi-step flows, and meaningful states (loading, empty, error, success).

• You have a good eye for UI: spacing, hierarchy, typography, and consistency-even if you're not a pure designer.

• You are comfortable iterating visuals and UX based on feedback and can explain why you chose a given interaction or layout.

Back-end / data and integrations

• You can build and extend Node/Express (or similar) APIs: routes, middleware, JSON in/out, and validation.

• understand basic schema design and CRUD operations.

• You can design simple, sensible data models for workflows (e.g. leads, tasks, stages, approvals, logs) and evolve them as requirements change.

Problem-solving and mindset

• Outcome-first: you focus on business value (e.g. fewer manual steps, clearer reporting, better conversion) rather than tech for its own sake.

• Pragmatic: you can distinguish "must have" from "nice to have" and choose simple, robust approaches over clever but fragile ones.

• Critical thinker: you question unclear requirements, surface risks and edge cases, and propose practical alternatives.

• Ownership: you take responsibility for what you ship-testing, debugging, and tidying up

Experience we'd like to see

• A portfolio or repo history showing applications you've personally built, debugged, and deployed

• At least a couple of examples where you:

• Integrated non-trivial APIs.

• Designed or refined a UI/UX flow.

• Made trade-offs to keep a solution simple and maintainable.

• Prior work in Replit or similar cloud-based dev environments is essential.

Links to 2-4 projects (live or repos) you've built that best show your end-to-end problem-solving, API work, and UI/UX.

• A short note on a time when you simplified an over-engineered solution or caught an AI/code-gen tool doing the wrong thing, and what you changed.

• Your typical hourly rate or salary expectations and availability (hours per week, time zone).
