Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer at Katapult Labs, Inc., you will play a pivotal role in building and scaling a mission-driven platform that supports vulnerable populations through accessible, reliable housing solutions. Working at the intersection of product innovation and technical excellence, you will collaborate directly with US-based founders to design and implement end-to-end features that streamline complex compliance workflows, enhance user experiences for applicants and property managers, and strengthen the core infrastructure of a growing SaaS platform. Your contributions will directly impact the usability, scalability, and integrity of systems that power real-world housing access, making this role both technically challenging and socially meaningful.
• Day to day, you will work with an AI-first mindset to identify opportunities to automate and simplify administrative and compliance-heavy processes, leveraging modern tools to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy. You will design and build intuitive user interfaces using modern front-end frameworks like React, ensuring accessibility and clarity for diverse user types including applicants, property managers, and state entities. On the backend, you will develop and maintain robust services and APIs that support complex data workflows, compliance tracking, and property management functions, while contributing to architectural decisions that ensure long-term scalability, reliability, and performance as the platform evolves.
• You will collaborate closely with the lead engineer and US-based stakeholders, communicating technical progress, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly in English, fostering alignment across distributed teams. This role emphasizes ownership and craftsmanship — you will uphold high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and system observability, helping to establish engineering best practices across the team. By working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment typical of early-stage product development, you will exercise strong judgment and initiative, shaping not only what gets built but how it’s built.
• Katapult Labs operates as a nearshore software development agency with a team-augmentation model, partnering with PMF+ startups and businesses in the United States to deliver world-class engineering talent from LATAM. The company combines deep technical expertise with an AI-first approach to product engineering, enabling rapid innovation while maintaining rigorous standards. As part of this culture, you will benefit from working alongside experienced engineers and leaders who prioritize impact, continuous learning, and technical excellence, all while contributing to products that address real societal needs in housing and compliance.
• In this role, you will have the opportunity to grow into a technical leader, influencing platform architecture, mentoring peers through code reviews and collaboration, and gaining deep expertise in regulated industries such as proptech and compliance-heavy SaaS. You will sharpen your ability to balance user empathy with technical rigor, learning how to build systems that are not only scalable and secure but also intuitive and equitable for underserved communities. Over time, you may take on greater ownership of product direction, technical strategy, and cross-functional coordination, positioning yourself for advancement into senior engineering or architectural roles within a purpose-driven organization.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer building production-grade web applications
• Good English communication skills (spoken and written): able to interact with US-based founders and stakeholders comfortably
• Front-end / UI: modern frameworks (React or equivalent), ability to build clean and functional interfaces for non-technical end users
• Backend: API design, database management, workflow automation, and compliance-related data handling
• Experience building SaaS platforms or marketplace products
• Ability to think in end-to-end systems: understanding how applicant flows, property management, and compliance connect into a single platform
• Empathy for the end user: this platform serves vulnerable populations product sensitivity matters
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with strong ownership

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity to work on mission-driven technology that supports accessible housing solutions for vulnerable populations
• Collaboration with US-based founders and stakeholders in a global, distributed team environment
• Exposure to AI-first product development and workflow automation using LLMs
• Professional growth in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment with influence over architecture and product decisions
• Work with modern full-stack technologies including React and scalable backend systems
• Contribute to platform evolution in proptech and compliance-heavy domains with real-world impact
