Full-Stack Developer (Junior)

Headquarters: United States URL: http://www.leadupgym.com

The Role You build the majority of the user-facing application. You work from a detailed specification and follow patterns set by the senior developer. AI coding tools are a core part of your workflow. This is a fast-moving environment. You’ll have clear specs, but priorities will shift as the product meets real users. We need someone who treats that as normal. Why this is different from most junior roles: You're not joining a 50-person engineering team where you'll spend six months on a button. You work directly with the senior developer and the CTO - both hands-on builders. You'll get real code reviews, real architectural conversations, and real mentorship. The product is being built now, with pilot clients coming within months. Your code ships to actual users, fast. What You’ll Do

Build the full user-facing web application: dashboards, reports, settings, onboarding

Build admin views: user management, configuration, aggregate data

Implement supporting systems: notifications, emails, exports

Write tests against defined error scenarios

Contribute to database schema design alongside the senior developer and the CTO

Daily sync with senior developer; PR review on every merge

Required

1–3 years of professional development experience (internships and freelance count)

React (or Next.js) for frontend, Python for backend (FastAPI experience is a strong plus)

Basic PostgreSQL: can write queries, understands joins, can contribute to schema design

Active AI coding tool user (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) — part of your daily workflow

Can read a spec and ship features without hand-holding

Comfortable with changing priorities

Asks questions when unclear rather than guessing

Solid written and spoken English

Preferred

FastAPI experience

Tailwind CSS, responsive design

Authentication flows (OAuth, JWT)

Dashboard or report-style interfaces

Portfolio or GitHub showing end-to-end projects
