Role Overview
As an
Intermediate JavaScript Full Stack Developer, you’ll help build and evolve Rebel’s customer-facing products and internal services that power our domain and hosting platform. You’ll contribute across the stack—
React on the front end and Node.js (with some legacy .NET) on the back end—delivering well-scoped features and improvements.
You’ll work closely with Product and cross-functional partners to turn requirements into reliable, scalable solutions, and you’ll strengthen quality through clean code, automated testing, and participation in deployments and production support.
This role is ideal for someone who can work independently on most tasks, collaborates well through reviews and pairing, and is ready to grow their technical depth and impact within a modern cloud environment.
What You’ll Do-
Contribute to technical initiatives across software development and operations teams, supporting alignment with business goals and engineering best practices.
-
Work with product and engineering teammates to translate business requirements into practical, scalable solutions, considering architecture, security, and performance.
-
Participate in knowledge sharing through peer reviews, pairing, and documentation, while continuously building your own skills and expertise.
-
Collaborate with cross-disciplinary partners (Engineers, Product Owners, Marketing, Customer Service, and stakeholders) to design, build, and deliver high-quality product improvements
-
Build and improve reusable UI components using modern front-end technologies (React) to create clear, accessible, and engaging user experiences.
-
Develop and maintain back-end services and APIs using Node.js (and .NET where applicable), focusing on reliability, scalability, and clean integration patterns.
-
Write clean, modular, and reusable code by following established standards, patterns, and best practices in the codebase.
-
Contribute to feature design, implementation, and iteration using agile practices, incorporating feedback, monitoring results, and improving over time.
-
Support testing and deployment activities by writing automated tests, following release processes, and helping ensure quality and stability in production.
-
Stay current with relevant technologies and best practices, bringing forward ideas and suggestions to improve the product and development workflow.
-
Explore and apply AI-assisted tools (where appropriate) to improve productivity, quality, and delivery speed.
-
Participate in active system support, bug fixing and incident resolution as needed.
What You Bring-
3–8 years of professional software development experience working with modern application stacks (Node.js, React).
-
Strong JavaScript/TypeScript proficiency, including modern ES6+ features and common patterns.
-
Hands-on experience building and maintaining Node.js services (e.g., Express.js) and designing/consuming RESTful APIs.
-
Practical experience working in AWS (or a comparable cloud platform), including deploying and operating cloud-based applications.
-
Exposure to cloud architecture concepts such as microservices, event-driven patterns, and distributed systems, with the ability to implement features within existing architectures.
-
Experience working in Scrum/Agile teams and contributing effectively to sprint-based delivery (planning, estimates, demos, retros).
-
Ability to contribute to modernization efforts (refactoring, improving reliability/performance, incremental migration) with guidance.
-
Solid experience with Git and collaborative workflows (pull requests, code reviews, branching strategies).
-
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and contributing to automated testing (unit/integration), quality checks, and release processes.
-
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code concepts/tools (CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform) and the ability to make safe changes with support.
-
Container experience (Docker; ECS/EKS is a plus) and understanding of how containerized apps are built and deployed.
-
Familiarity with legacy systems (e.g., .NET Framework and/or Java) and comfort making small updates when needed.
-
Desire to learn and grow your career
What We Offer-
A collaborative, high-performance workplace that recognizes hard work and creative thinking, with competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for growth.
-
A smoke-free, downtown office with thoughtful perks, including a fully stocked staff fridge.
-
Comprehensive training in domain registration, web hosting platforms, and troubleshooting tools.
-
A dedicated workspace, a supportive team environment, and ongoing professional development.
-
A people-centered culture that values your expertise, ideas, and long-term career growth.
Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need to know every acronym (yet), but you should love learning, solving problems, and keeping cool when tech gets tricky. If you’re kind, curious, reliable, and maybe a little cheeky—you’ll fit right in.
