Senior Full Stack Engineer (Node/React) - Remote
Kake is a remote-first company and a people-first global community of senior engineers. Kake engineers are behind some of the world’s most innovative products (Brands you’ve heard!), from Fortune 500 to fast-growing companies. We believe it’s not where your table is, but what you bring to the table that matters. Our community spans 45,000+ engineers across 55+ countries; join a culture where great people stay, grow, and thrive (and love eating kake!).
We’re looking for Senior Software Engineers specializing in Node.js/React, skilled in building high-performance, scalable systems that support millions of users, and committed to solid architectural judgment and engineering best practices. It's a great fit for people who enjoy owning problems end-to-end, working across the stack, and collaborating closely with product and design to ship reliable, well-crafted software.
What you’ll build and own Build and ship production features end-to-end across Node.js backends and React frontends, owning your work from implementation through deployment. Design, build, and version REST or GraphQL APIs that serve as the contract between frontend and backend systems. Make architecture decisions around data modelling, service boundaries, and component design, applying event-driven thinking where it fits. Model and query data across relational and NoSQL stores, choosing the right database and structure for each use case. Write clean, well-tested code and set up the observability needed to catch and debug issues in live systems.
Core Requirements 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with hands-on work in Node.js and React. Hands-on experience designing and versioning REST or GraphQL APIs. Experience with modern git workflows, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure such as GCP, AWS, or Azure. Strong system-design instincts: data modelling, component architecture, and event-driven thinking. Comfortable with relational databases and SQL, plus familiarity with NoSQL such as MongoDB or similar. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills across distributed systems. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced environment.
Nice-to-Have AI-forward mindset with active use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to accelerate delivery, while staying the engineer who judges correctness. Experience with e-commerce, payments, video platforms, or other correctness-critical domains is a strong plus. Availability to work aligned with the partner's time zone.
