// Open Role at PartyHat
We aren’t looking for a passive developer who just waits for tickets to be assigned and writes isolated lines of code. We need a "Product General" to take absolute ownership of our software ecosystem from initial design to production lifecycle. Your job is to architect, build, test, deploy, and monitor large-scale, highly available web platforms that can handle intense global velocity. This is a remote, high-availability role for a polyglot engineer who can move effortlessly across full-stack paradigms and thrives in an engineering environment focused on continuous delivery, architectural freedom, and rapid growth through calculated experimentation.
We value supreme ownership, systemic thinking, and engineering velocity over corporate credentials. You will join an elite team of competent, talented operators who view failure simply as the raw education required to unlock the next massive technical breakthrough. If you have the cross-functional communication skills to align stakeholders, the technical depth to mentor junior engineers, and the drive to ship code multiple times a day, we will give you the complete autonomy to build our technical future.
End-to-End Product Ownership: Own features and systems from inception to production rollout—determining exactly how they are best built, rigorously tested, horizontally scaled, and proactively monitored.
Full-Stack Systems Architecture: Collaborate closely with domain architects to map, design, and implement robust, highly decoupled server and client architectures that eliminate single points of failure.
Continuous Delivery Execution: Maintain and optimize automated CI/CD deployment pipelines, enabling clean, low-risk software releases to production multiple times a day.
Data Layer Management: Design, optimize, and maintain highly performant relational database schemas and queries, ensuring absolute data integrity under concurrent user loads.
Engineering Leadership & Mentorship: Take proactive responsibility for high-level system designs, manage technical communication loops with cross-functional stakeholders, and aggressively mentor junior engineers to scale team capabilities.
You must possess deep hands-on expertise and deployment experience across the following stack:
Frontend Ecosystem: JavaScript / TypeScript, React, Next.js (SSR/SSG), and Redux / Redux-Toolkit Query (Advanced client-side state architecture and data fetching loops).
Backend Layers: Node.js with Express.js (High-velocity APIs) and Java 17 with Dropwizard (Robust, high-throughput backend service logic).
Content Management: Strapi (Headless CMS architecture and custom plugin/API orchestration).
Database Engines: MySQL and PostgreSQL (Advanced indexing, schema migration tracking, and performance tuning).
Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (Core infrastructure services), Ubuntu environments, Docker containerization, and GitHub Actions (Automated testing and deployment workflows).
The "Full-Stack Generalist": A proven track record of designing, scaling, and maintaining large-scale, highly resilient modern software systems under real-world traffic patterns.
Continuous Deployment Instinct: Deep experience operating in modern agile environments utilizing automated testing, containerized pipelines, and high-frequency production deployments.
The Growth Mindset: You possess an environment-first philosophy. You are ready to succeed, fail, and learn alongside a world-class team, treating engineering friction as an opportunity for structural growth.
Hyper-Availability: This isn't a 9-to-5 corporate job. Our systems run 24/7/365, and major feature rollouts happen fast. You must be available 7 days a week to handle real-time system maintenance, backup confirmations, and emergency incident responses.
Elite Communication: Exceptional verbal and written articulation; you can deconstruct complex technical problems for non-technical stakeholders and guide cross-functional teams toward execution.
Location: Fully Remote.
Schedule: On-call 7 days a week (Requires high flexibility to handle real-time production hotfixes, deployment validation, and global engineering alignment).
Payment: All compensation is processed in digital assets (USDC/USDT).
We offer more than just a standard software engineering seat; we offer the runway to drive the technical destiny of a global powerhouse.
Extreme Architectural Sovereignty: We value raw execution, system health, and clean code over bureaucratic red tape. If your design framework is robust and ready, you deploy it.
A Culture of High-Talent Momentum: Work alongside a highly competent, autonomous team that moves at lightspeed, actively supports your professional growth, and celebrates breakthroughs.
High-Growth Upside: We value "potential over pedigree." For a Senior Software Engineer who takes relentless ownership of end-to-end problems and systematically scales our platform's capacity, there is a clear, unrestricted runway into senior architecture and engineering leadership.
