Senior Developer – Nestology

Nestology is building a 360° digital ecosystem that supports parents through the first 1,000 days of their child’s life, from tracking milestones and routines to accessing experts, learning programs, and community. As a Senior Developer, you will own major parts of this platform and help craft a reliable, scalable, and intuitive product for young families.

About Nestology

Nestology combines early childhood science, Montessori philosophy, and technology to give parents structured guidance and tools for their child’s 0–3 journey. The platform brings together learning content, tracking, expert support, and community features in one place, with a strong focus on simplicity and trust.

Role overview

As a Senior Developer, you will design, build, and maintain core platform features across backend, APIs, and front-end/app surfaces (exact stack can be customized to your current technology choices).

Key focus areas include:

• Owning end-to-end delivery of critical features and modules.
• Ensuring performance, security, and reliability of the platform.
• Providing technical leadership, code reviews, and mentoring to junior developers.

Key responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain scalable services and APIs that power Nestology’s core experiences such as child tracking, content delivery, and expert interactions.
• Translate product requirements and user journeys into robust technical designs, implementation plans, and high-quality code.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and content teams to ship features that are intuitive for new and expecting parents.
• Set up and maintain best practices for code quality, testing, documentation, and version control.
• Optimize existing modules for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency, including database queries, caching, and background jobs.
• Integrate with third-party services where needed (authentication, payments, notifications, analytics, etc.).
• Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, and help shape the engineering culture and standards.
• Contribute to technical roadmap planning, estimation, and prioritization with founders and product leads.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years of hands-on software development experience building production-grade web or mobile products.
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language and framework (e.g., Node.js/Express/Nest, Python/Django/FastAPI, Ruby on Rails, Java/Spring, etc.) and familiarity with RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
• Solid understanding of relational or document databases, schema design, and query optimization.
• Experience with front-end or mobile development (e.g., React, React Native, Flutter, or similar) is a strong advantage for owning end-to-end features.
• Good grasp of cloud deployment, CI/CD, basic DevOps practices, and application monitoring.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and system design skills.
• Experience working in product/startup environments with iterative releases and close user feedback loops is preferred.
• Comfort working in a small, fast-moving team and willingness to take ownership beyond a narrow job description.
• Alignment with Nestology’s mission and sensitivity to building for parents and caregivers.

What you will gain

• Opportunity to shape the architecture and technical direction of a mission-driven product from an early stage.
• Close collaboration with founders, product, and domain experts in early childhood and parenting.
• End-to-end ownership of impactful features used by families daily.
• A culture that values craftsmanship, learning, autonomy, and thoughtful work-life balance.
