Junior Full-Stack Developer (React/Node.js)

Our client is a fast-growing healthcare company operating multidisciplinary clinics across the United States. They rely on a proprietary platform to manage thousands of sessions, staff schedules, and operational constraints each day. As part of their continued growth, they are seeking a Junior Full-Stack Developer to build cloud-based web applications that power the clinical scheduling platform.

It's a long‑term opportunity without an end date. The engagement is fully remote. The candidate can be located anywhere in Latin America. You'll need strong English communication skills (B2+ or higher) for this role.

Role Summary

We are looking for a Junior Web Developer (2+ years of experience) to build cloud-based web applications that power a clinical scheduling platform. You will take existing desktop-based Python scheduling algorithms and create the web application layer that makes them accessible, scalable, and executable in the cloud.

This role works in tandem with a Data Scientist/Algorithm Engineer who owns the Python scheduling logic. Your job is to build the web application "shell" around that algorithmic "heart." You'll be supported and mentored by a senior engineer who will guide you on architecture decisions and best practices.

What You'll Do Web Application Development

Build the web layer: Create web applications using Node.js (backend) and React (frontend) that wrap and expose the Python scheduling algorithms
Desktop to cloud migration: Transform desktop application functionality into cloud-native web applications
Full-stack work: Handle both backend APIs and frontend interfaces, with emphasis on backend
Create features independently: Own the implementation of new features with guidance and support from senior team members

Cloud Infrastructure

Deploy to GCP: Learn and work with Google Cloud Platform services (Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, BigQuery)—you'll be taught the basics
Job orchestration: Implement systems to handle concurrent scheduling runs asynchronously

Collaboration

Partner with the algorithm engineer: Define clear interfaces between your web application and the Python scheduling code they maintain
Get support from a senior engineer: who will mentor you on architecture and best practices—asking questions when you're stuck, getting guidance on approach
Work within a team dynamic: Function effectively in a collaborative environment where you can lean on more experienced developers while still owning your deliverables

What We're Looking For Required

2 years of professional experience: You've worked through real-world challenges that come with building and maintaining web applications
JavaScript / Node.js proficiency: Good backend skills with Node.js—this is the primary tech stack for the web application
React experience: Ability to build frontend interfaces in React
Full-stack fundamentals: Experience with both backend and frontend development—you've built both parts at some point in your career
Team experience: You've worked in a team environment (preferably a larger team) where you collaborated with more experienced developers, asked questions, and received code review. We prefer candidates who understand this dynamic over solo developers.
Feature development experience: You've created features and supported existing applications—you don't need to have built something from scratch, but you've contributed meaningfully to production systems

Nice to Have

GCP or cloud experience: Helpful but not necessary—we can teach you the cloud basics
Python familiarity: Useful for understanding the algorithms you're wrapping, but the web app itself will be JavaScript-based.
Healthcare or HIPAA experience
CI/CD and containerization (Docker) experience

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you'll progress from supporting and learning to independently creating:

Early on: Learn the codebase, ask lots of questions, implement features with guidance
Mid-term: Own feature development end-to-end, with architectural guidance from senior team members
Long-term: Build new applications from scratch as we expand scheduling to additional clinician types

Of Note:

Company laptop is provided.
Completed background checks will be required before the start date if you are selected as a winning candidate.
HIPAA compliance training is required before the start date.
As a winning candidate, you will be required to disclose your engagement with DevEngine as a primary client on your professional LinkedIn profile.
