Long-Term JavaScript/TypeScript Developer for Retool & API Automation (SQL)
Budget: $10 – $35 USD
**Why this project is worth your time**
We’re offering a long-term opportunity to join a small, agile team working on meaningful automation tools. You don’t need prior Retool experience. You’ll learn it as part of the job while applying your strong core development skills. Here’s why this project stands out:
• Learn Retool on the job — a fast-growing low-code platform that makes developers dramatically more productive.
• Core tech focus — you’ll work daily with JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, and APIs, solving real data and integration problems.
• Long-term collaboration — not a one-off gig; we’ll continuously expand and improve automation over the coming years.
• Growth potential — as the project evolves, there may be opportunities to expand into React, fullstack, or even AI-driven automation.
• Direct impact — your work won’t disappear into a big codebase; it will immediately improve processes and be used by real people. You will be leading the technical development of this project.
**What you should know before applying**
This role is not for everyone. We run a structured recruitment process with multiple steps: a code reasoning challenge, culture fit interview, skills test, and a paid mini-project. Above all, we value problem-solving ability and mindset. If you’re looking for quick, low-effort gigs, or you’re not comfortable explaining your reasoning and constructively challenging ideas (and being challenged in return), this role won’t be a fit.
We’re open to starting at a lower hourly rate for the right candidate, with the clear expectation that the rate will increase as trust is built and responsibilities grow. This is a long-term collaboration, and we want the developer who joins us to feel valued and fairly compensated as the project evolves.
Answer these at the very top of your bid:
1. A time you proposed a different approach that improved the outcome.
2. Link to your GitHub and/or website (mention repos you’re proud of).
3. Your working hours in GMT+0.
