Location: This role can be done remotely
KORE1, a nationwide provider of staffing and recruiting solutions, has an immediate opening for a Full-Stack Product Engineer React, Next.js, TypeScript, UI/UX & Design Systems with the option to be fully remote.
This role is centered on product-driven full-stack development with a strong emphasis on frontend craft, design systems, and user experience. You'll work across a broad product surface, including creator tools, public profiles, community features, and internal systems-owning features end-to-end while shaping how the product looks, feels, and represents the brand.
This is a true full-stack role with equal ownership across frontend, backend, and product experience. You will be expected to move fluidly across the stack-designing data models, building APIs, and delivering polished UI-while contributing to a cohesive, high-quality product experience.
We're looking for someone who doesn't just build functionality, but obsesses over product quality-balancing technical execution with strong design and UX instincts.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship end-to-end product features, from database schema through to polished, production-ready UI
- Lead the evolution of a large-scale design system (500+ components), ensuring consistency, scalability, and strong visual identity
- Drive the overall look and feel of the product, including typography, color systems, spacing, animations, and micro-interactions
- Develop full-stack experiences across the product lifecycle, including onboarding flows, media management, user profiles, and subscription/billing interfaces
- Contribute to and support shared systems across the platform, including occasional overlap with payment-related UI (checkout, subscriptions, billing flows) and light backend debugging where needed
- Contribute to product direction by identifying opportunities to improve user experience, engagement, and conversion
- Develop and maintain backend functionality, including API endpoints, database queries, and real-time features
- Support quality and reliability through testing and documentation, including visual regression testing, end-to-end testing, and component documentation
- Leverage AI tools where appropriate to accelerate development, prototyping, testing, and overall product iteration
Work style:
- Small, high-ownership team - you'll own entire systems, not just tickets
- Pre-commit validation runs 19,600+ tests on every commit
- Self-hosted infrastructure (DigitalOcean), not serverless
- Staging -> production deployment flow with manual production gate
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree from a competitive university OR a proven track record of delivering high-impact, real-world products at meaningful scale
- 5+ years of experience building production web applications, including hands-on backend/API development
- Strong expertise in React and modern CSS frameworks (e.g., Tailwind), with the ability to build complex, responsive interfaces from scratch
- Experience working with design systems or component libraries at scale
- Solid backend fundamentals, including REST API design, relational databases, authentication, and asynchronous processing
- Familiarity with modern frameworks and tools such as Next.js and Node.js-based backends
- Experience with testing and documentation tools such as Storybook, Playwright, or similar
- Strong product mindset with attention to detail in UX, visual hierarchy, and brand consistency
- Ability to make design decisions independently for smaller features, while collaborating and incorporating feedback on larger feature sets
- Comfort operating across the full stack, with the ability to contribute to adjacent systems (e.g., payment UI flows, shared platform components)
- Ability to balance speed, quality, and ownership across multiple competing priorities
- Experience leveraging AI tools in your workflow (e.g., development, testing, system design, debugging, or documentation), including clear examples of tools used, in which roles/companies, and for what functions
- If applicable, ability to articulate the extent to which AI-assisted coding has been utilized (e.g., percentage of code or workflow supported by AI tools)
Nice to Have
- Experience with Radix UI, CVA, Zustand, React Query, Prisma, or Temporal
- Background in building or scaling design systems
- Experience contributing to or influencing product and brand direction
- Experience working with subscription or billing-related UI flows
What we value:
- Ship working software over perfect architecture
- Own your domain end-to-end (design -> implement -> deploy -> monitor)
- Write tests that catch real bugs, not tests for coverage numbers
- Communicate clearly when things break - incidents happen, silence is the problem
Technology Stack
- React 18, Next.js 14, TypeScript monorepo
- Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, Storybook
- NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Redis
- Temporal, Playwright, Chromatic
- Self-hosted infrastructure (DigitalOcean), not serverless
- Cloudflare R2
With all applications, please provide the following:
- Details on any AI tools/platforms you have used in your work, including which companies/roles you used them in and for what functions (e.g., development, testing, system design, debugging, documentation)
- Proof of work: Please share a couple of example links to your work (live websites or systems in production) that you can confidently say you owned end-to-end.
- Scale: For the examples above, provide a rough metric of how much traffic, users, or usage they experienced (e.g., number of users or system volume).
- AI/LLM usage: Provide a rough estimate of what percentage of the work on those examples was done with the help of LLMs or coding agents.
Compensation depends on experience but is typically $120-150K
Note: This engagement does not include a benefits package.
