Fullstack Developer (React+Node)

We're The Digital Bunch, a cross-disciplinary digital consultancy with offices in Warsaw, Riyadh, Sydney, and London. We combine strategy, design, and technology to help companies grow. Software development is one of our core verticals, and we embed with product companies long-term as part of their engineering teams.

This role is for our work on a cyber risk reporting platform. The product scans networks, endpoints, and cloud environments (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace), checks breach databases, and generates risk reports with an AI layer on top for analysis and recommendations. The reports are sold to MSPs in the US who use them to show clients where they stand on security. It's cyber tooling, nothing else.

The platform has been live for 5+ years, was acquired last year by a larger company (100+ people), and is actively growing. New features ship every sprint. The codebase is mature but moves fast.

You'd join a small team on our side: our CTO and one other developer. On the client side in Dallas there's a PM, QA, support, and two engineers, plus people from the parent company who rotate in when needed. Flat setup, a lot of independence.

We write code with Cursor and Claude Code every day. Not as a gimmick, that's how we actually work. If you're already using AI tooling, good. If not, you'll pick it up in the first week.

⚠️ Read this first, this is a backend-heavy role

Most of the interesting work lives on the server: job queues, third-party integrations, data modeling, async scans, report generation. The frontend matters, but it's not where you'll spend most of your time.

If your experience is mostly React with some REST calls, this isn't the right role. We need someone who's actually built and owned Node/NestJS backends in production, schemas, queues, integrations, migrations, the whole thing. We're happy to consider someone with ~2 years of experience if those two years are genuinely backend-heavy. We're not happy to consider 6 years of frontend with a skills-list backend section.

⏰ Working hours, read this too

The client team is in Dallas, Texas (UTC-6). You need to be available in the evenings:

- Daily standups happen between 19:00–21:00 Polish time, 30–45 minutes

- Monday planning runs at 23:00 Polish time

- The rest of the day is yours. Most people work something like 12:00–20:00 or 14:00–21:00

- No weekends, no on-call

If you can't do evenings, this isn't the right fit. Wanted to be upfront about that.

📌 The work

You'll ship features across the full stack, weighted toward the backend: NestJS on the server, PostgreSQL and Redis underneath, React on the frontend. The backend integrates with 15+ external services (breach intelligence APIs, cloud provider APIs, PSA systems like ConnectWise), runs BullMQ job queues, and uses TypeORM and Auth0. There's always something new to wire up.

About 10% of your time goes to triaging production issues reported by customers. That's engineering debugging, not answering support tickets.

Small team means you have real input into what gets built and how. Nobody's handing you pixel-perfect Jira tickets. We ship behind feature flags, get it in front of users fast, and iterate. If you're the type who spends three weeks perfecting architecture before writing a line of code, this isn't your pace.

First-day commits. Our CTO onboards you personally, but we expect you shipping from the start.

👉 What we're looking for

- At least 2 years of commercial backend work in Node.js / NestJS (or a close equivalent, Express or Fastify with real production ownership). We'll ask about it.

- You've designed schemas, written migrations, debugged queues, and integrated third-party APIs, not just consumed them from a frontend

- Solid TypeScript and React. You don't need to be a CSS wizard, you need to be comfortable moving across the stack

- Hands-on with PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker

- You use AI tools for development (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, whatever works for you)

- Fluent English, spoken and written. You're on daily video calls with Americans

- Actually okay with working late Polish hours (see above)

- Self-directed. Nobody assigns you tasks step by step

👍 Bonus points

- Worked in cybersecurity, SOC/SIEM tooling, or compliance before

- Know your way around BullMQ, TypeORM, Auth0, or Swagger codegen

- Built integrations with PSA systems (ConnectWise, Autotask, Kaseya) or MSP-facing tooling

- Worked with US-based teams or in product companies

🚫 Probably not for you if

- Your CV lists React/Next/Tailwind projects and the backend section is a skills list with no project evidence

- You've mostly consumed REST APIs, not built them

- Your backend experience is a single side project or a bootcamp module

- You want to spend most of your day on UI polish

🎉 What you get

- 20,000–26,000 PLN net/month, B2B

- Fully remote, or Warsaw office in central Warsaw (dogs welcome)

- Long-term product work on a single platform, not project hopping

- Latest hardware and tooling

- Multisport card

- Regular salary reviews

- Referral bonuses

💃 Hiring process

1. Intro call with Alex (CTO). 15–30 min. We talk about the role, you ask questions, and we see if it makes sense for both sides.

2. Take-home task. Build a small full-stack app (React + NestJS). The NestJS side carries most of the weight. Capped at 2 hours. Use AI tools, we don't care how you get there, we care that it works and you understand it.

3. Live review. 60 min. You walk us through your code, we ask you to add a feature live (should take minutes with AI, not half an hour), then we talk architecture and how you think about systems.

4. Meet the client team. Short call with the Dallas side before we finalize.
