Our work spans across:

Easton Digital – scaling eCommerce businesses through data, automation, and performance systems

The Alliance – a business community focused on mentorship, collaboration, and growth

First Tuesday – a platform organizing recurring service initiatives that connect businesses with community impact

We focus on building real systems that get used , not prototypes that sit unused. Everything we ship is intended to be reliable, scalable, secure, and production-ready .

From an engineering perspective, we are actively building systems that include:

Modular web applications with clear separation of concerns (frontend, backend, services)

API-first architectures for integrations across tools and platforms

AI-powered workflows embedded into real business processes

Internal tools and dashboards that operate as lightweight operating systems for teams

Event-driven and automation-based systems connecting multiple services

Our development team is currently lean:

1 business analyst

About the Role

Conversational English is required

We’re looking for a Software Engineer (3+ years of experience) based in Colombia who can take ownership of building and maintaining production-grade systems with solid architecture and engineering discipline .

This role is focused on:

Turning ideas into reliable, production-ready applications

Designing and improving system architecture (frontend, backend, and integrations)

Ensuring code quality, performance, security, and scalability

Bringing structure to how we design, build, review, and ship software

You will work across multiple products and internal systems, helping define how they are architected, deployed, and evolved over time .

Compensation

Bonuses: Based on delivery, milestones, and outcomes

What You'll Do

Design and build production-ready applications and systems

Architect solutions with clear patterns (modular design, separation of concerns, reusable components)

Define and improve backend structures, API layers, and data flows

Ensure systems are scalable, maintainable, and secure

Review and process pull requests with strong engineering standards

Help define and execute technical roadmaps for each product

Improve system reliability (error handling, logging, performance optimization)

Design integrations between services (APIs, webhooks, automation flows)

Deploy and manage applications in cloud environments

Integrate AI into workflows in a structured and production-ready way

Collaborate closely with founders, operators, and stakeholders

You will be responsible not just for writing code, but for ensuring what gets shipped works well in production .

You don’t need to know everything, but you should be comfortable across most of this stack:

Development

Next.js (or similar frameworks)

API design (REST or similar patterns)

Data handling and basic database interactions

AI & Development Workflow

Integration with AI APIs into real systems

Infrastructure & Deployment

Docker (basic understanding is sufficient)

Environment configuration and basic DevOps practices

Architecture & Systems Thinking

Understanding of frontend/backend separation

API-first thinking

Basic understanding of scalability, performance, and fault tolerance

General

Code reviews, PR processes, and engineering best practices

What Makes This Role Meaningful

You won’t just be writing code — you’ll be building systems that:

Help business owners operate more effectively

Support entrepreneurs scaling their companies

Enable communities to organize and create impact

Power real-world tools used by teams and organizations

You will see the direct impact of what you build.

Beyond Engineering

This role naturally evolves into more than just development.

Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Advise business owners on systems, architecture, and technical decisions

Mentor junior developers and interns

Help define engineering standards, architecture patterns, and workflows

Take ownership of products and lead technical initiatives

This is a role where you grow into a technical leader and systems thinker , not just a developer.

Who This Is For

Conversational English is required

3+ years of software development experience

Are based in Colombia

Have experience shipping and maintaining production applications

Understand system design, not just coding tasks

Care about code quality, structure, and long-term maintainability

Can work independently and take ownership

Contract Type

Location: Remote (Colombia)

This is an independent contractor role working with a U.S.-based company

You will manage your own schedule within agreed working hours and deliverables

Long-term opportunity with potential for increased responsibility and compensation over time

We are building a small, high-trust engineering team where:

Engineers take ownership of systems and products

There is a clear path to senior and leadership roles

You’ll work across multiple ventures and real-world applications

You’ll be joining early, which means high impact, real ownership, and fast growth .
