We’re seeking a senior full-stack engineer with a proven track record of delivering production-grade applications using Next.js/React/TypeScript. You should be comfortable with PostgreSQL and an ORM (Drizzle preferred) and have strong experience with tRPC and end-to-end type safety. You’ll work with Vercel for hosting and Supabase for DB/storage/auth primitives, and you should have prior AI integration experience (prompting, evaluation, and background tasks). Excellent English communication (C1/C2) and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset are essential.
Golden Navigator is building a lean MVP to help older adults and their families navigate complex tasks with a secure, simple, and accessible experience. The project combines a modern frontend (Next.js, React, TypeScript) with a robust backend (tRPC, Postgres via Supabase, Drizzle ORM) and AI-assisted workflows. You will partner directly with founders to ship an MVP end-to-end, owning frontend, backend, database, deployments, and quality. The platform emphasizes secure, audit-friendly data flows, accessible UI, and cost-aware infrastructure on Vercel and Supabase, with AI integration through OpenAI/Anthropic through an AI SDK. You’ll contribute to architecture, data modeling, robust APIs, and scalable features that can evolve beyond an MVP.
- Translate product requirements into technical plans and concrete deliverables for an MVP and beyond.
- Implement secure authentication, role-based access, and audit-friendly data flows.
- Model data with Drizzle ORM, design scalable schemas, and maintain migrations.
- Build typesafe tRPC procedures and integrate with React server/client components.
- Integrate AI SDKs for assisted workflows (non-chat-first patterns welcome) and manage cost-efficient AI usage.
- Instrument logging and metrics; guard against cost spikes with thoughtful Vercel configurations, caching, and rate limiting.
- Ship small, frequent increments; write pragmatic tests and ensure accessibility.
- Collaborate closely with founders and stakeholders to align technical and product goals.
Experience with React Native/Expo, GDPR/HIPAA-adjacent practices, and previous healthcare or senior-care domain exposure. Familiarity with security best practices, cost-conscious cloud configurations, and building accessible UIs with Tailwind is a plus.
