Full-Stack Software Engineer (Commission-Based Only)Uptick | Remote | Contract / Commission
We’re looking for a highly capable Full-Stack Engineer to join Uptick — a boutique software development studio that builds end-to-end web and mobile products for real businesses.
This is not a learning internship or a junior dev role.
This is for someone who can own small-scale projects independently — from architecture to deployment — and deliver production-ready results.
About the Role- You’ll take on full client projects: design scalable architecture, set up front- and back-end systems, implement features, and see them through to launch.
- Work closely with the founder (senior engineer, NYU CS grad, and product architect) on strategy and technical direction.
- Handle both greenfield builds and rebuilds of existing applications.
- Collaborate with our intern team when needed, but you’ll primarily be leading the build yourself.
- You’ll have autonomy, clear deliverables, and revenue-linked pay on every project you help ship.
Tech Stack (varies by project)- Frontend: React / Next.js / React Native / TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js / Firebase / Firestore / Suapbase
- Infra: Vercel / Railway / Stripe / Google Cloud
- (Experience in equivalent frameworks is fine — we care about execution, not buzzwords.)
What We’re Looking For- Proven ability to deliver full projects start-to-finish — design, dev, deploy.
- Confidence with both front-end and back-end stacks.
- Strong problem-solving and architectural thinking.
- Someone who’s fast, reliable, and detail-oriented — not afraid of ownership.
- You thrive in autonomy, don’t need hand-holding, and enjoy building elegant solutions that actually get used.
CompensationThis is a commission-based role — meaning you earn a direct percentage of the development fee for each project you work on.
You get paid when the project gets paid. The better the delivery, the more you make.
