Mid-Senior Full Stack Developer - Core Platform and AI Integrations

Full Stack Developer — Core Platform & AI Integrations (Contract-to-hire)

NIM Labs builds NIM, a production management platform used by creative teams worldwide. We’re a small, focused team shipping real features into a mature product — and expanding it with practical AI capabilities that help users work faster and make better decisions.

Role Snapshot

• Mid-level (3–5 years)

• Contract-to-hire: initial 3 months, strong chance of extension / full-time

• 40 hrs/week

• Fully remote (US or international contractors welcome)

• Async-friendly + flexible overlap (we’ll align on a window with some PT overlap)

• $45–$70/hr (USD equivalent), based on experience and fit

What you’ll do (50/50 split)

Core Platform (PHP/JavaScript)

• Ship product features and improvements across the core platform

• Refactor and modernize existing areas (maintainability, performance, reliability)

AI Services & Integrations (Node.js/TypeScript)

• Build and maintain TypeScript/Node services that integrate AI capabilities into the product

• Collaborate on API design and integration patterns between services

Also

• Debug production issues and ship fixes with clear communication and follow-through

• Write documentation for non-trivial features/behaviors

• (Occasional) small Python utilities / automation (nice-to-have)

Must have

• 3–5 years professional development experience

• Production experience with PHP

• Production experience with Node.js + TypeScript

• Strong JavaScript fundamentals (frontend experience can be jQuery/Kendo or React)

• Relational database experience (MySQL/PostgreSQL)

• Strong APIs/integrations fundamentals (REST, auth, data modeling, error handling)

Preferred

• Strong enthusiasm for AI-assisted development workflows (agentic CLIs, prompt-driven refactors, AI-aided debugging/testing)

• Shipped an LLM integration (structured outputs/tool calling, reliability patterns, logging/observability)

• Docker familiarity

• AWS basics (reading logs, working with deployed services)

• Comfortable writing tests as part of “done” (unit/integration)

How we work

• You can take a scoped feature and ship it with good judgment — and you also bring ideas to improve the approach

• You use AI as a partner: increasing throughput while knowing what to verify carefully

Hiring process

1) Short intro call

2) Technical conversation (project deep-dive + practical scenarios)

3) Timeboxed ~2-hour take-home (representative, not busywork)

• You may use AI tools. We’re happy for you to — just be ready to explain decisions and tradeoffs.

4) Final review / decision

How to apply

Send:

• Resume/CV or LinkedIn profile

• A short note: (1) a feature you owned end-to-end, (2) any AI/LLM integration work (production or personal)

• GitHub/portfolio/code samples (if available)

Final candidates will be asked to sign a standard contractor agreement (confidentiality + IP assignment).
