Must have skills required: High Academics, Night shift, SaaS Product Builds, Startup Mindset, Api integration, MVP, Nodejs, ReactJs, Firebase Cakes is Looking for: Full Stack Engineer As a Full-Stack Engineer, you’ll be working on new features from scratch on top of our existing React + NodeJS + Firebase platform. You’ll collaborate closely with the founders, designing and implementing solutions that improve workflows, handle complex payment integrations, and scale with our customers. This is not a role for someone who just executes — you’ll be expected to problem-solve, debug, and take ownership of the features you build. We are especially interested in candidates from good pedigree colleges, with strong high school scores and demonstrably high IQ/aptitude, who have experience in early-stage startups (companies with fewer than 10 employees) and are comfortable with high ownership and ambiguity. The role is full-time night shift, and you must be able to reliably work and stay active during working hours until 12 PM PST (noon Pacific time) / 1:30 AM IST, without overlap issues or sleep-related disruptions. Key Responsibilities • Build end-to-end features on our SaaS platform using ReactJS (frontend), NodeJS (backend), and Firebase (infrastructure). • Develop complex workflows like: • Kitchen task management: assign and track work among decorators, staff dashboards, and reporting. • Payment integrations with Stripe: handling multiple business models, fees, taxes, and splitting payments across parties with clear reporting. • Collaborate with founders on requirements, technical feasibility, and solution design. • Debug and resolve issues with minimal oversight. • Ensure features are scalable, tested, and production-ready for use by multiple bakeries. • Participate in technical discussions and defend your design choices. • Work independently in a remote-first environment, staying proactive and self-driven. • Maintain reliable attendance and communication in a full-time night shift aligned to U.S. morning hours (up to 12 PM PST / 1:30 AM IST). What We’re Looking For • 1–3 years of hands-on experience in ReactJS, NodeJS, and Firebase. • Experience in building and shipping products/features (professional work or personal projects). • Strong grasp of API integration, third-party services, and SaaS product development. • Ability to debug complex issues and get “unstuck” independently. • Balanced front-end + back-end capabilities (we’re not looking for front-end-heavy or back-end-heavy profiles). • Clear communication skills — capable of debating technical decisions confidently. • A proactive, problem-solving mindset that thrives in fast-moving, startup environments. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (preferred). Strong technical ability can substitute for pedigree. • Preference for candidates from strong academic backgrounds (good pedigree colleges, good high school scores) with good IQ/analytical ability. Prior early-stage startup experience (ideally at companies with <10 employees) where you have handled ambiguity, high ownership, and fast iteration. • Highly communicative and reliable, especially during night shift hours, with discipline to stay engaged and not sleep during working hours. Nice-to-Have Skills • Experience with Stripe or similar payment gateways. • Exposure to serverless architectures and microservices. • Knowledge of POS systems or restaurant tech. • Previous experience in SaaS startups. Work Environment & Team Structure • You’ll be reporting directly to the founders (CEO & CTO). • Day-to-day work will be primarily with the CTO (co-founder). • Remote role, but must have a few hours of overlap with the U.S. morning time zone (up to 12 PM PST / 1:30 AM IST). • Expectation to handle predefined requirements independently (while unpredictable, urgent work is handled in-house by the founders). • This is a full-time night shift position with a strong expectation of reliability, responsiveness, and professional behaviour throughout the shift. Why Join Us? • Be part of a scaling SaaS product used daily by bakeries and restaurants. • Opportunity to work on real-world, high-impact features (payments, workflows, integrations). • Direct mentorship from founders with strong technical backgrounds. • Remote-first with autonomy and ownership. • Long-term career opportunity with potential team expansion.
