Timesact is a Built for Shopify certified app serving 16,000+ merchants with preorder and back-in-stock solutions. We help Shopify stores capture revenue from out-of-stock situations through reliable, no-code tools that handle catalogs from a few SKUs to 20,000+ products.

We're a small, focused team that values technical excellence, fast execution, and direct customer impact. Our infrastructure choices prioritize reliability over cost-cutting, and we ship features weekly.

We're looking for a full-time senior or strong mid-level full-stack developer to work alongside our CTO as a production-focused partner. This isn't about grand architecture debates—it's about shipping features every week while maintaining quality.

You'll receive clear, detailed instructions on what to build, implement functional patterns based on reference examples, turn customer feedback into working prototypes in days (not weeks), and help us build micro-apps within our main platform.

This is B2B collaboration (PFA/SRL contract), not employment, and includes a 1-month trial period.

• Week 1: CTO shows you a desired app feature. You analyze it, propose implementation approach, build a working prototype by Friday.
• Week 2: Refine based on feedback, launch beta version.
• Ongoing: Ship 1-2 customer-facing features per week, mostly front-end heavy with solid back-end fundamentals.
• Work directly with CTO on scoping; he handles high-level architecture, you handle execution and tactical problem-solving.
• Minimal design work (we'll provide designs or you adapt existing patterns).

• Strong React and Node.js experience — production-grade, not just tutorials
• Solid JavaScript fundamentals — ES6+, async/await, promises, modern patterns
• HTML5 & CSS3 — semantic markup, responsive design, cross-browser compatibility
• SQL databases — PostgreSQL or MySQL (queries, indexing, schema design)
• GraphQL — queries, mutations, schema design, resolver patterns
• RESTful APIs — design, implementation, authentication, error handling
• Git version control — branching, PRs, collaborative workflows
• OAuth 2.0 & webhooks — authentication flows, secure API integrations
• Google Cloud Platform — deployment, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, basic DevOps

• Shopify app development experience is a significant advantage — if you've built Shopify apps before (Admin API, webhooks, OAuth, embedded apps), you'll ramp up much faster
• Shopify Admin API (REST/GraphQL)
• Shopify App Bridge / Embedded App SDK
• Shopify Billing API
• Liquid templating and theme integration
• Metafields and metaobjects

If you have Shopify experience, highlight it prominently — we're building for the Shopify ecosystem and familiarity accelerates onboarding significantly.

Frontend: React, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML5/CSS3, Shopify Polaris (if applicable)

Backend: Node.js, GraphQL, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), GCP

Shopify (bonus): Admin API, Webhooks, Embedded App SDK/App Bridge, Billing API, OAuth

✅ Results-driven: We care about shipping, not theoretical perfection.

✅ Strong communicator with deep work respect:

• Daily syncs (30-60 min) to align and unblock, then 7-7.5 hours of focused deep work.
• You ping us anytime during deep work when blocked—we want engagement, not silence.
• You don't sit on problems overnight—speak up quickly when stuck.

✅ Critical thinker: You come with solutions, not just questions.

✅ Engaged partner: You work shoulder-to-shoulder with our CTO, not waiting for assignments.

✅ Resilient: You thrive in environments where priorities shift based on customer needs.

✅ Portfolio shows production apps you've built — bonus if Shopify apps or e-commerce tools (agencies building custom Shopify integrations count).

• Competitive B2B rates based on experience level
• Full-time commitment, Romanian time zone preferred (we're Romanian-based)
• Direct collaboration with CTO — no bureaucracy, fast decisions
• Real impact: Your work goes to 16,000+ merchants immediately
• Technical autonomy within clear business goals
• Weekly shipping cycle — see your features live every week

• Romania strongly preferred (Eastern Europe acceptable)
• English for documentation, some customer interactions, and team communication
• Remote-first, but timezone overlap with Romanian hours required
