Junior Full-Stack Developer
About Us
Focus.AI is a small, AI-first consultancy. We don’t just build AI products for clients - we run the company with AI. Claude Code is our primary development environment. We use AI for everything: code generation, project management, client communications, research. We push the boundaries of what’s possible and expect you to do the same.
We’re fully remote, async-first, and move fast. Our clients include Samsung, Perplexity, and funded startups across fintech, events, and media.
If you’re excited about working with AI rather than being replaced by it, this is the place.
The Role
We’re looking for a junior full-stack developer to join us on a contract basis (part-time to start, potential for more). You’ll work directly with our lead developer on client projects, starting with a two-sided marketplace platform that needs UI polish and feature completion.
This is a great opportunity if you want exposure to real client work across multiple industries and tech stacks.
What You’ll Do
- Build and polish features in Next.js/React applications
- Work with Supabase (PostgreSQL, auth, storage)
- Implement UI designs from Figma
- Fix bugs and close out GitHub issues
- Write clean, tested code
- Participate in async standups and code reviews
Tech Stack
Primary (must know):
- TypeScript
- React / Next.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Git/GitHub
Secondary (will learn on the job):
- Supabase (PostgreSQL, Row Level Security)
- Clerk or similar auth providers
- Vercel deployment
- AI/LLM integrations (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google)
Requirements
- 0-2 years of professional experience (bootcamp grads welcome)
- Portfolio or GitHub showing React/Next.js work
- Comfortable working independently with async communication
- Based in US timezone (EST/CST/PST)
- Available 15-25 hours/week to start
Nice to Have
- Experience with Supabase or Firebase
- Familiarity with Figma
- Previous agency or consulting experience
Mindset
We’re looking for someone who wants to be at the bleeding edge of AI-assisted development. You should already be using AI tools daily - Cursor, Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT - and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t. If you’re the kind of person who tries new models the day they drop, we’ll get along.
Compensation
- Rate: $35-50/hour depending on experience
- Hours: 15-25 hours/week (flexible)
- Duration: 3-month initial contract with potential to extend
- Growth: Opportunity to take on more responsibility and projects
How to Apply
Send an email to [email protected] with:
- Your resume or LinkedIn
- Link to your GitHub or portfolio
- Which AI model is your favorite and why (Opus, Gemini, qwen3:30b-a3b, deepseek)
- Your hourly rate expectation and availability
No cover letter needed. We’ll review and get back to you within a week.
