Hey everyone, I'm looking for a Senior Software Engineer. It's a full-time, fully remote role for people based in LATAM.

The day-to-day is full-stack work across several services, mostly Rails and React, running in Docker on AWS (ECS, RDS, S3). You'd also be leading code reviews and system design, and keeping an eye on monitoring, alerting, and performance. We use PostgreSQL plus some NoSQL, so comfort designing data models that scale matters.

Ideally you have 8+ years of experience and have shipped this kind of stack in production.

If it sounds interesting, send me a DM 

Hi all,

I'm a backend developer from Pune with about 2 years of production experience in Node.js, Express and MySQL on AWS. I'm looking for backend roles that are either remote (from anywhere in the world) or onsite in Pune.

What I've built:

• A WhatsApp bot used by 2,000+ students, with JWT login via PWA and Gemini OCR for document extraction
• A scholarship automation platform for a 2-college government pilot (REST APIs, S3 uploads, EC2 deployment)
• A Cashfree/eNACH payment deduction system with a reconciliation dashboard

I left my dev role in Dec 2025 and have been doing operations work at a catering business since, and I'm now returning to engineering full-time.

Looking for:

1. Resume feedback (happy to DM a redacted copy)
2. Leads on remote backend openings, or companies hiring in Pune

Thanks! Happy to answer questions about any project.

Hi everyone,

I'm 18 and I'm currently in my last year of an IT school in Italy. I'm trying to find my first real job/work experience in software development and I'd appreciate some advice on where to look.

I'm mainly a backend guy. I know Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, PHP, C/C++, MySQL and Git/GitHub. I've also worked with Angular, React, TypeScript, HTML and SCSS, although backend is definitely what I enjoy the most.

I also did a 3-week internship at an Italian software company.

I'm currently working on two projects for my GitHub: one is a school project with an ESP32 and the other is a personal project about AI agents.

My English is C1, so I'm completely fine working with people in English. Since the job would be remote, I'm also not really limiting myself to Italy.

I can dedicate around 3 hours a day to work.

At this point I'm honestly much more interested in getting experience and learning how real software development works than in making a lot of money. I'm also fine with starting small.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a software company either. If a small business needs someone to build a simple internal tool, automate something, make a website/backend, etc., I'd be interested in that too.

For people who started working young: how did you find your first opportunity?

Where should I actually be looking?
