SaaS Maintenance Developer

Part-Time

Remote

Ready To Apply?

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, dependable developer to maintain and support a handful of existing SaaS platforms. This is not a role focused on rebuilding our platforms or launching large new products from scratch. We need someone who is comfortable stepping into existing codebases, understanding how the systems work, resolving bugs, maintaining integrations, improving reliability, and occasionally developing small features. You will work directly with the CTO, Kyle Hendrix, who will provide priorities and product direction. You will be responsible for the technical execution and ongoing health of the platforms.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

  • Investigating and resolving customer-reported and internally identified bugs

  • Maintaining existing frontend and backend applications

  • Troubleshooting API, database, integration, and deployment issues

  • Developing occasional small features and platform improvements

  • Monitoring and improving application stability and performance

  • Maintaining third-party integrations and API connections

  • Managing deployments across staging and production environments

  • Reviewing logs and identifying the root cause of technical issues

  • Performing security, dependency, and framework updates when needed

  • Testing changes thoroughly before releasing them

  • Documenting technical decisions, fixes, and system changes

  • Keeping GitHub repositories, branches, and pull requests organized

  • Communicating technical issues and recommendations in clear, simple language

Technology Environment

Our platforms use a combination of technologies, including:

  • React

  • Next.js

  • Vue

  • Node.js

  • Python

  • Supabase

  • PostgreSQL

  • Cloudflare

  • Vercel

  • GitHub

  • Third-party APIs and webhooks

You do not need to be an expert in every technology listed. However, you should have strong full-stack experience, be comfortable working across multiple systems, and be able to learn an unfamiliar codebase without needing everything rebuilt in your preferred framework.

Who We’re Looking For

The right developer has demonstrated experience maintaining an existing SaaS application after its initial development.

You should be someone who:

  • Takes ownership of technical problems from investigation through resolution

  • Communicates clearly and responds consistently during working hours

  • Can independently diagnose issues across the frontend, backend, database, hosting environment, and integrations

  • Understands the difference between a temporary patch and a proper fix

  • Avoids unnecessary complexity and overengineering

  • Works carefully within an existing architecture

  • Tests changes thoroughly before deployment

  • Documents completed work so future maintenance is easier

  • Can explain technical issues to a nontechnical product owner

  • Is comfortable prioritizing reliability and maintainability over constantly introducing new technology

  • Can provide realistic estimates and communicate quickly when requirements or timelines change

    Role Structure:

  • Part-time

  • Remote and open to applicants worldwide

  • Paid hourly

  • Must have consistent availability during U.S. business hours

  • Normal business-hours support only

  • No regular overnight or on-call requirement

  • Work will include ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, technical improvements, and occasional small features


The number of hours may vary based on current development and maintenance needs. We are looking for someone interested in building a long-term working relationship rather than completing a single short-term project.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means:

  • Bugs are investigated and resolved efficiently

  • Production issues are communicated clearly

  • Changes are tested before release

  • The platforms remain stable and reliable

  • Technical debt is addressed thoughtfully without unnecessary rewrites

  • Small features are delivered without disrupting existing functionality

  • Documentation improves over time

  • The product owner always understands what is being worked on, what was completed, and whether any risks remain

How to Apply:

Please submit the following:

  1. A brief introduction describing your experience maintaining existing SaaS applications

  2. Examples of SaaS products or production applications you have maintained

  3. The technologies you are strongest in from the list above

  4. Your current hourly rate

  5. Your weekly availability

  6. The U.S. business hours during which you can consistently be available

  7. A brief example of a difficult production bug you diagnosed and resolved

  8. An explanation of how you test changes before deploying them to production


Please begin your application with the words “Maintenance First” so we know you read the complete posting.

We are not looking for an agency, project manager, or developer who wants to replace the existing platforms with a completely new architecture. We are looking for one reliable developer who can learn what has already been built, take ownership of its ongoing technical maintenance, and make thoughtful improvements when needed.
