About the role

Some clients need a working application alongside a marketing site. A booking system, a customer portal, a quoting tool, a dashboard pulling numbers out of four places. This role owns those, front to back.

It is deliberately separate from the site building roles. The work is longer, the state is real, and the failure modes are data problems rather than layout problems.

There is no closing date on this role. Applications are read in the order they come in.

People in this role work on Seed Light's Web Design & Development projects.

Responsibilities

  • Build web applications in Next.js and Node, with a real database behind them
  • Design the data model before the screens, and keep it honest as things change
  • Write and consume APIs, and handle the authentication around them
  • Add tests where a silent failure would cost the client money
  • Deploy, monitor and fix what you built, rather than handing it over and leaving

Requirements

  • You have shipped an application that people used daily, and can talk through its design
  • You are comfortable on both sides: React and TypeScript, plus a server and a database
  • You know how to model data, and when a schema change needs a migration
  • You think about authentication, permissions and what happens on bad input
  • You keep things simple enough that somebody else can pick them up

Nice to have

  • You have worked with Postgres or Supabase
  • You have built something on top of a payment provider
  • You have integrated an AI model into a product feature rather than a demo

Tools

Next.js, TypeScript, Node, Postgres or Supabase, Prisma or Drizzle, Git, Vercel. The licences and subscriptions the job needs are paid for, and knowing every one of these already is not expected.

Your first three months

  • Month 1. Features and fixes on an existing client application, so you learn how these are built here.
  • Month 2. You own a build from the data model to launch, including its deployment.
  • Month 3. You set how applications are structured here and review the ones others build.

Questions about this role

Questions candidates usually ask before applying. If yours is not here, add it to the message box on the form.

The vibe coder role builds marketing sites quickly with AI tooling doing much of the typing. The full-stack developer role builds applications with real state, real users and real data.

Yes, for interface decisions inside an application, especially when no complete design file exists. Dedicated design roles handle the main marketing pages.

Only where needed. Most projects use Vercel and a managed database, with a small VPS for self-hosted services. You should be able to diagnose each layer.

These projects run for months rather than weeks, and the applications continue running afterwards. A business that depends on an application still needs somebody who understands it a year later, so the work extends beyond the initial project period.

Some, and it is inherited from other agencies as often as it is written here. Making an unfamiliar codebase safe to change is a regular part of the work.

Choose one application you understand from end to end. Explain what it does, how the data is organised, which technical decision mattered most and what you would change now. A live product is useful, but a clear walkthrough matters more.
