Role Overview
We’re hiring a Mid-Level to Senior Full-Stack Developer to help refine and optimize a custom-coded web platform for a lifestyle and events brand in a major Latin American city. The codebase is roughly 75% complete and in need of professional cleanup, bug fixing, and performance improvements to reach production level. The platform is fully custom-coded from scratch — no templates — and includes a backend where users can submit events, deals, and venues, which are reviewed through internal admin tools. On the frontend, listings are dynamically displayed and filterable by things like date and category. Editorial content is managed in-house, and we’re planning CMS and API integrations (e.g. Mailchimp). Spanish and English proficiency is required, and we’re open to remote candidates worldwide.

- Integrate CMS solutions for efficient management of the editorial section.
- Refactor legacy code and improve data flow from backend to frontend.
- Develop and ship clean, scalable features on the custom-built architecture.
