Original posting

Prophet Town | Software Engineer | Full/Part-time | Full Remote, USA Pacific time zone | All Cash, $25/hr ($50K/year) - $180/hr ($360K/year) (multiple roles) | English fluency You: Quick learner, experienced with 1+ of: Node/Typescript, React, Next.js, MySQL/Postgres, iOS/Android, AWS, cloud-native architecture, serverless patterns. I’m the founder - small, boutique, indie tech agency, all staff remote, different from soul-suck corporate or drive-till-drop startup - a place where engineers can grow and find community, working for friendly clients doing good things in the world, and have some freedom to choose their projects, choose their weekly hours (a few required weekly meetings), and take long breaks if and when they want. Halfway between a 9-5 engineering job and full-on freelancing - Great Resignation freedom, minus solo practice risks. Fully self-funded. Our core team are several ex-Google/Microsoft/Amazon/eBay friends who joined forces and quit our day jobs - everybody codes. Eclectic mix of existing clients; examples: a poker webapp, healthcare startup solving physician well-being, HR startup pairing mentors and mentees, VR startup doing large virtual concerts. Interested parties, AMA, james@ptown.tech.
