This is the role that will turn Tutorbase from a validated prototype into the go-to SaaS for tutoring centers. If this seat is empty:
- Features won’t ship at the speed our early customers expect.
- There’s no one owning the codebase, setting the bar for quality, reliability, and velocity.
- The product risks staying an idea instead of becoming a category-defining business.
This role is the difference between “good start” and “real company.”
Who Shouldn’t Apply
Let’s be clear — this won’t be a fit if you:
- Need heavy management before you start building.
- Prefer long planning cycles over learning by shipping.
- Only want to “write code” without caring about product impact.
- Feel most comfortable in a big corporate team with layers of support.
- See this as just another remote gig, not something to really own.
Who We’re Looking For
- Someone who thrives in a small startup vibe — fast iterations, constant learning, and real ownership.
- A developer who can drive features end-to-end, from database to UI, and ship consistently.
- A builder who enjoys taking full responsibility for the codebase and cares deeply about product quality.
- A pragmatic engineer who moves fast, but also makes thoughtful architectural decisions.
Core Responsibilities
- Own the Tutorbase codebase — maintainability, architecture, and velocity.
- Ship features fast — we have a clear backlog, and execution speed matters.
- Collaborate directly with the founder (me) to align product decisions with customer needs.
- Shape the future of the product — your technical input directly influences roadmap and UX.
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-stack development
- Strong TypeScript skills
- Next.js/React experience
- PostgreSQL/database expertise
- API development experience
Preferred
- Experience with Supabase
- Experience with SaaS / multi-tenant applications
- Familiarity with modern authentication systems
- Work with component libraries like shadcn/ui or Material-UI
Bonus
- Background in scheduling, education or tutoring platforms
- Experience with real-time applications
- Prior work on API integrations
Our Stack (so far)
- Next.js / React (TypeScript)
- PostgreSQL (hosted on Supabase)
- Supabase Auth & Storage
- Tailwind, shadcn/ui
- Node.js backend services
This isn’t locked in stone. You’ll have real influence over how we evolve.
