About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to support the ongoing development of model-scouting.com, a platform built on Strapi that requires strong technical execution, scalability, and new feature development. The role involves both core application development and the creation of web scrapers and AI-powered Chrome extensions, so a strong understanding of modern JavaScript ecosystems is essential.

This role is ideal for someone with solid experience in React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and who has worked on complex, high-traffic platforms similar to the profile shared by the client (e.g., experience in multi-module platforms, APIs, integrations, architecting features, and mentoring teams). Candidates who can contribute to architecture, performance optimization, and hands-on development will be prioritized.

• Ability to build web scrapers (e.g., Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio).

• Experience integrating AI tools, plugins, or OpenAI APIs is a plus.
