Hours: 5 days/week, ~40 hours (flexible scheduling, normal daytime hours — no night shifts)
Start: As soon as possible
About the Role
I'm a product founder building two things, and this role sits across both:
- A portfolio of our own apps on the Atlassian Marketplace (Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management), built on the Forge platform.
- A software developer staff-augmentation service (launching soon) — where we place our developers with external clients to work on the client's projects.
- Here's how that works in practice for you:
- When you're booked by a client, you work on that client's projects as part of their team.
- When you're not booked, you work on our own Atlassian Marketplace apps.
- That means there's always meaningful work — you're never idle between client bookings — and you get variety: real client products and our own product line. The client work runs on **normal business hours. No uncommon shifts, no late-night hours.
- I'm looking for one skilled developer to own the technical side of this long-term — from building and launching new apps to delivering solid work for clients. This is not a short-term project. I want someone who wants to grow with a product business and take genuine ownership of what they build.
What You'll Be Working On
On our own products:
- Building new apps for the Atlassian Marketplace using the Forge platform
- Owning the full development lifecycle — from spec to deployment to post-launch iteration
- Building Custom UI components in React that run inside Jira and Confluence
- Writing backend logic with Node.js / TypeScript using Forge resolvers and Forge storage
- Integrating with the Jira REST API, Confluence REST API, and external services (LLM APIs, webhooks)
- Maintaining and iterating on live apps based on real user feedback
On client work (staff augmentation):
- Delivering development work for client projects when booked, working as part of the client's team
- Communicating clearly and professionally with the client on progress, blockers, and timelines
- Across both: communicating clearly on progress, blockers, and timelines, and flagging problems early rather than going quiet.
What This Is Not
This is not a role for someone who needs constant hand-holding or close technical supervision. I'm a non-technical founder, so I need someone who can read a product brief, ask the right clarifying questions, and then execute. I handle product direction. You handle the technical execution.
If you need someone to review every line of code or answer technical questions daily, this role is not the right fit.
