Senior Fullstack Developer (Frontend Focus) - Part-time - EMEA/APAC

About Us

scheef.tech is a nimble, 2.5-year-old software company founded by Nik and Yannic. With a lean and technical founding team, we're looking to scale our development capacity while maintaining high-quality engineering standards. As a small, agile team, you'll have the opportunity to work across various domains, directly influencing our growth and technological direction.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer with a strong frontend focus to join us on a part-time (20 hours/week). Your current workload will be primarily frontend development, but we're looking for someone with a broader set of skills and experience who can comfortably handle diverse tasks when required. You'll work directly with the founding team to build modern, scalable web applications using SvelteKit, TypeScript, and a lightweight backend stack. Ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, clarity, and clean code over bureaucracy.

What You'll Do

• Lead frontend development using SvelteKit and modern tooling.
• Occasionally contribute across the stack (backend, infra, deployments).
• Build modular, scalable components and work with design systems.
• Integrate with APIs, databases, and cloud services.
• Help evolve internal architecture and development processes.

Our Current Tech Stack

• Frontend: SvelteKit, TypeScript
• Backend: Primarily serverless hosting using Cloudflare Workers, Hono framework
• Infrastructure: Cloudflare for DNS and serverless platform; AWS ECS for tasks not suited to serverless
• Deployment: Wrangler configuration for Cloudflare, SST (backed by Pulumi) for AWS deployments

What We're Looking For

Must-Have:

• 5+ years of experience in software development, with a strong frontend track record.
• Expertise in TypeScript and modern JavaScript.
• Strong Git and GitHub workflow proficiency.
• Deep knowledge of a frontend framework (SvelteKit ideal; React/Vue also great).
• Comfort working independently and driving tasks to completion.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with backend development (Node.js, HTTP routers like HONO).
• Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Docker, Cloudflare, and AWS.
• Exposure to infrastructure basics (DNS, CDNs, VPS).

We look forward to kickstarting the hiring process and welcoming you to the scheef.tech team!
