Remote
Indochina Timezone
Full-time
Bangkok Core Team
We're building an online home for handmade footwear, clothing, and accessories. Looking for an engineer drawn to what we're building, not only how it's built.
Our goal: a community that cares about well-made, long-lasting things, and about the small makers who still make them. Owning fewer, better things. Giving makers the tools and audience to keep their craft alive.
This is a family business, founded and run by a husband and wife who both write code. We work with a small group of trusted collaborators who care about craft and the people behind it. You'll work directly with us, with the full technical and business context to do your best work.
Tech stack
React Native + Expo (iOS, Android)

What you'll do
- Ship full-stack features across our React Native app (iOS, Android, web)
- Plan, build, and release work alongside the founders
- Write tests as part of each feature. Verify reliability before release
- Watch production. Respond to issues that affect stability
- Improve the codebase and architecture as the product grows
- Build product capabilities on top of large language models
- Become a Patina Project user to experience your own work first hand and identify areas of improvement
What we're looking for
- Production software experience
- Strong TypeScript (or another typed language)
- Comfortable on mobile web, native mobile, and desktop web
- MongoDB or another NoSQL database
- Frontend and backend
- You plan, build, test, and finish features as part of a team
- Testing mindset — you write tests as part of the feature, not after
- AI-assisted development in your daily workflow
Nice to have
