About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to support the ongoing development of model-scouting.com, a platform built on Strapi that requires strong technical execution, scalability, and new feature development. The role involves both core application development and the creation of web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extensions, so a strong understanding of modern JavaScript ecosystems is essential.
This role is ideal for someone with solid experience in React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and who has worked on complex, high-traffic platforms similar to the profile shared by the client (e.g., experience in multi-module platforms, APIs, integrations, architecting features, and mentoring teams). Candidates who can contribute to architecture, performance optimization, and hands-on development will be prioritized.

- Design and build web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extension tools.
- Collaborate on architectural decisions, technical design, and planning.
- Ensure strong code quality, performance, and scalability.
- Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve technical issues across the stack.
- Optimize applications for speed, reliability, and maintainability.
- Work with APIs, data pipelines, and integrations as needed.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong experience with React and its ecosystem (Hooks, Redux, testing libraries).
- Advanced experience with Node.js, NestJS, Express, GraphQL, and REST APIs.
- Proficiency with PostgreSQL and relational database modeling.
- Hands-on experience with Strapi or similar headless CMS.
- Ability to build web scrapers (e.g., Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio).
- Experience integrating AI tools, plugins, or OpenAI APIs is a plus.
- Strong understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred), CI/CD, containers, and deployment pipelines.
- A track record of working on complex platforms, building features end-to-end, and collaborating with product/engineering teams.
