About zipBoard

zipBoard is a lean, profitable SaaS company used by engineering, AEC, and content teams to streamline document and content reviews across stakeholders — from internal teams to external collaborators. We’ve helped global firms save time, improve quality, and reduce the chaos of email-based feedback loops.

We’re now rebuilding key parts of our platform with AI-first workflows, better automation, and a cleaner dev foundation. You’ll help lead that charge.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to take ownership of our core platform, work closely with the founder, and bring structure, clarity, and momentum to the product.

You'll be inheriting and improving a Meteor-based stack. Your job isn't just to build features — it’s to lead modernization, automate intelligently, and help us scale with confidence.

Responsibilities

• Lead backend and frontend development across Meteor, Node.js, and MongoDB
• Translate high-level product priorities into sprint-ready dev plans
• Use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT) to accelerate development and test coverage
• Mentor junior devs and review code when needed
• Improve architecture, performance, and documentation
• Collaborate with the founder and EA asynchronously across time zones

Requirements

• 7+ years experience as a full stack developer, ideally in fast-paced or startup environments
• Deep proficiency in JavaScript (Node, MongoDB, REST APIs)
• Experience working with or refactoring legacy codebases (Meteor a major plus, or willingness to learn fast)
• Hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or AI tools in your dev workflow
• Excellent async communication and the ability to work independently
• Familiarity with writing or reviewing automated tests (Cypress, Jest, or similar)

Bonus Points

• Experience leading or mentoring small technical teams
• Exposure to PDF rendering, annotation tools, or B2B SaaS platforms
• Interest in performance optimization or DevOps automation

What You’ll Get

• Remote-first flexibility (async, timezone-tolerant)
• Founder-level visibility and impact
• A team that values calm productivity over hustle skills
