About Penbrothers Penbrothers is an HR & remote talent management partner and one of the fastest-growing companies in the Philippines. We provide talented Filipinos with global opportunities in high-growth startups and dynamic companies, from the comfort of their own homes. About the Client Our client builds a control plane for software engineering. As AI makes code cheap, the bottleneck shifts to consequence what breaks, what drifts, and what any given change means for the system as a whole. The team is building the system graph that lets AI agents act with constraints rather than guesswork. About The Role We are looking for a product-minded Full Stack Engineer who can build and ship end-to-end product experiences while leveraging AI tools to accelerate development. This role will work across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and product execution — taking ownership from idea validation and prototyping through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. As an early-stage company, this engineer will play a key role in shaping engineering practices, improving development velocity through AI-assisted workflows, and making thoughtful technical decisions that balance speed, scalability, and maintainability. The ideal candidate is not only technically strong but also demonstrates product ownership, curiosity, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to independently drive solutions. Work Set-up: 100% Work from home Work Schedule: Day Shift - 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Philippine Time) with flexible working hours.

This is a fully remote, asynchronous work environment with no mandatory daily stand-ups, emphasizing autonomy, ownership, proactive communication, and results over hours worked. What you’ll do (Duties and Responsibilities) Build and deliver end-to-end product features across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and cloud environments. Develop modern web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. Design and implement backend services, APIs, and integrations with consideration for scalability, reliability, and performance. Build and deploy applications using AWS cloud services and modern development practices. Work with serverless architectures and event-driven systems where applicable. Use AI development tools as productivity multipliers — breaking down problems, generating solutions, validating outputs, and maintaining code quality. Prototype and iterate quickly by translating product ideas into working solutions. Collaborate closely with product stakeholders to understand user needs and make effective engineering decisions. Own the full development lifecycle including implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, debugging, and continuous improvement. Contribute ideas around architecture, engineering standards, and development processes. What You Bring (Skills, Qualifications or Experience) Minimum 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably with experience owning or leading end-to-end software development projects across the full project lifecycle. Strong experience with: + React + Next.js + TypeScript + Node.js Experience working with cloud environments, preferably AWS. Understanding of APIs, databases, and modern software development practices. Comfortable using AI-powered development tools. Strong problem-solving skills with a product-oriented mindset. Ability to independently take ownership of features and deliver solutions. Experience building and maintaining web applications from frontend to backend. Nice to Have Experience with: + AWS serverless technologies (Lambda, S3, IAM, queues, event-driven systems) + SST framework + Infrastructure-as-code concepts + Rust or other systems programming languages + CI/CD pipelines + Observability and monitoring tools Startup or early-stage company experience. Experience contributing to UX decisions, prototypes, and product discovery. Our Hiring Process We utilize AI tools to enhance hiring efficiency and ensure a fair evaluation.
