Employment Type: Freelance/Independent Contractor (40 hours/week)

Project duration: 2-4 months

Project Overview:

We are kicking off a short-term, high-impact project focused on integrating a partner application with our platform. The main goal is to seamlessly migrate users and their data to our cloud infrastructure, ensuring the existing frontend and backend operate flawlessly within the new environment.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and optimize scripts/services for secure and efficient user data migration.

  • Integrate the external application’s backend with our cloud platform’s internal APIs.

  • Ensure data consistency, integrity, and security during the migration process (handling sensitive user data).

  • Cover critical integration points with integration and unit tests to prevent data loss.

Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience with Node.js and TypeScript (NestJS / Fastify / Express).

  • Strong database skills (PostgreSQL / MongoDB / MySQL): writing complex queries, optimization, and managing schema migrations.

  • Proven experience building backend integrations (REST, gRPC, or message queues like RabbitMQ / Kafka).

  • Comfort working with legacy codebases and performing "on-the-fly" refactoring.

  • Readiness to dive in and deliver code from week one.

Nice to have:
  • Prior experience in projects involving system integration or user base migration.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive Full-Time Project Rate: Competitive compensation based on a 40-hour work week, paid monthly.

  • Remote & Autonomy: This is a full-time commitment (40 hours/week), but you have the freedom to build your own daily schedule. Our core team operates in the CEST timezone (GMT+02:00), so you'll just need to ensure a few hours of overlap with us for daily syncs and collaboration.

  • Zero Bureaucracy: Fast onboarding, direct communication with the team, and no unnecessary corporate meetings. You are here to build.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
