Senior Software Engineer

DEPLOY has been retained to find a senior-level Software Engineer to join us on an hourly, flexible contract basis and help build the next generation of AI-first web and SaaS products. You'll own significant workstreams across a portfolio of active client engagements — front-end first, with real full-stack range — and you'll operate with a high degree of independence: scoping your own work, making sound technical decisions without waiting for direction, and shipping polished, performant, accessible product remotely and largely on your own. This role is ideal for an exceptionally self-motivated engineer with deep production experience in TypeScript and Next.js, the ability to extend into APIs, data layers, and infrastructure when the work calls for it, and AI-first tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor already woven into their daily workflow. What You Will Do Own the design, build, and delivery of user-facing features and full-stack slices of AI-first web and SaaS products using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Node.js Take engagements from ambiguous requirements to shipped product with minimal guidance — scoping, sequencing, and driving the work yourself Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible interfaces that hold up across browsers and devices Integrate headless CMS platforms — Sanity or other headless CMS — wiring up schemas, structured content, and preview environments Design, build, and consume REST and GraphQL APIs, including authentication
