Junior Full Stack Engineer

WHO WE ARE

Bags.fm is the development company that builds and operates the entire technology stack behind bags.fm https://bags.fm, the leading launchpad for new projects and ideas. The systems are low latency, high throughput, live under constant load, and break if you get them wrong.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Full Stack Engineer at Bags.fm, you’ll work on production systems operating at real scale, alongside a team of highly experienced engineers. This is a hands-on role with immediate responsibility and fast feedback.

- Build, ship, and iterate on production features that reach hundreds of thousands of users

- Work across the stack, from backend services and data pipelines to frontend interfaces, gaining deep exposure to how large systems are built and operated

- Learn to design for performance, reliability, and scalability by working on systems under real-world load

- Prototype quickly, test ideas with real users, and refine based on data rather than opinion

- Tackle ambiguous, technically challenging problems and learn to reason from first principles with guidance from experienced engineers

- Collaborate closely with a small, high-caliber team where code quality, clarity of thought, and execution speed matter

- Own features end to end, from initial idea and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration

WHO YOU ARE

- An exceptional early-career engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and the ability to ramp quickly on new systems and codebases

- Studied at a top university or demonstrated equivalent ability through competitive programming, Olympiads, open-source contributions, or substantial personal projects

- Comfortable working across the stack, with hands-on experience in technologies like TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js (or adjacent modern frameworks)

- Curious and intellectually rigorous - you enjoy understanding why systems work, not just how to use them

- A strong problem solver who can break down ambiguous problems, reason from first principles, and iterate toward solid solutions

- High-agency and ownership-oriented, eager to take responsibility for features end-to-end while learning from more experienced engineers

- Motivated by fast feedback, real users, and an environment where what you ship matters immediately

- Hungry to learn from exceptional peers and grow rapidly by working on challenging problems at real scale
