Tapnote is looking for a Fullstack TypeScript Engineer to join as the second engineer and build the #1 AI study app. You’ll work directly with the founder, own entire systems end-to-end, ship full features independently, and have real impact on a product used by over 100,000 students.
What You'll Do
- Own and develop the backend (AWS Lambda, Supabase, Node.js)
- Build our web application from the ground up using Next.js
- Design, integrate, and improve AI-powered features (LLM pipelines, transcription, content generation)
- Ship full features independently
- Optimise and scale all parts of the system
What We're Looking For
- 2–4+ years of experience with TypeScript/JavaScript across the stack (Next.js, Node.js, AWS or similar cloud)
- You've shipped something real that people actually used — a side project, a freelance product, an app.
- You actively use AI coding tools (Claude Code) and see them as a multiplier
- You thrive with autonomy. When given a problem, you figure out the approach, make decisions, and ship without waiting for detailed specs
- Must be full-time
Technical Stack
- TypeScript, JavaScript
- Next.js, Node.js
- AWS, AWS Lambda
- Supabase
Team & Environment
You'll be the second engineer in a team of 1-10 employees, working directly with the founder. You will report directly to the founder.
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation: $5,500 – $8,400 USD net/month (B2B contract)
- Fully remote with flexible hours - we care about output, not when you're online
- Direct collaboration with the founder - no pointless meetings
- Massive ownership: you'll own entire systems and features, not just implement someone else's designs
- Real impact at scale - your code will be used by hundreds of thousands of students
- Performance-based profit sharing is on the table as we grow together — not promised on day one, but very much a possibility if we're a great fit and you deliver real value
Work Mode
This is a fully remote position open to candidates globally.
Tapnote is a profitable, fast-growing company built almost entirely by one person. We're looking for a builder who wants massive ownership, ships fast, and is excited to shape a product that's already working.
