Full Stack Developer (RegTech SaaS Platform) - Part-time - Worldwide

Role Overview

We’re PrimeComply, an early-stage (pre-seed) RegTech startup building an MVP to simplify regulatory compliance tracking for financial institutions. The initial product is a SaaS web platform using Next.js (frontend) and NestJS (backend).

Responsibilities

• Manage repository and CI/CD (we use GitHub and Actions)
• Handle storage (S3), authentication (Auth0), and database (Prisma + Neon)

• Infra: GitHub Actions, Docker (light usage), S3, Auth0, pnpm
• Testing: Vitest, Playwright (future)

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years full-stack experience with Next.js + NestJS
• Experience acting as tech lead or solo dev in early-stage startups
• Strong communication skills—can explain tradeoffs clearly
• Ability to make architecture decisions, not just follow tickets
• Writes clean, tested, modular TypeScript code

Logistics

• Project Scope: 6–8 weeks MVP, can extend If successful
• Time: ~20–30 hrs/week
• Rate: Competitive based on experience
• Timezone: Flexible, but founder is based in Dubai (GMT+4)
