Location: Remote Type: Full-time, permanent Salary: 60000 BDT per month Start: As soon as possible About the Role I'm a product founder building a portfolio of apps on the Atlassian Marketplace (Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management). I'm looking for one skilled developer to own the technical side of this work long-term — from building and launching new apps to maintaining and improving existing ones. This is not a short-term project. I'm looking for someone who wants to grow with a product business and take genuine ownership of what they build. What You'll Be Working On - Building new apps for the Atlassian Marketplace using the Forge platform - Managing the full development lifecycle — from spec to deployment - Maintaining and iterating on live apps based on user feedback - Keeping up with Atlassian platform updates and requirements - Communicating clearly on progress, blockers, and timelines What I'm Looking For - 3+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development - Solid experience with JavaScript or TypeScript (required for Forge) - Familiarity with the Atlassian ecosystem — Jira, Confluence, or Forge is a strong plus - Strong logical thinking and problem-solving — you should be comfortable breaking down complex requirements independently - Experience working remotely and asynchronously — you manage your own time well - Clear written communication in English — this is how we work day to day - Someone who flags problems early rather than going quiet What This Is Not This is not a role for someone who needs constant hand-holding or close technical supervision. I am a non-technical founder, so I need someone who can read a product brief, ask the right clarifying questions, and then execute. I'll handle product direction. You handle the technical execution. What You Get - Stable, permanent monthly salary paid on time every month - Fully remote — work from anywhere - Flexible hours — I care about output, not when you work - Long-term engagement — I'm building a portfolio, not a one-off project - Direct communication with the founder — no corporate layers - Working Hours: 5 days per week, 40 hours expected How to Apply Send me the following — applications missing any of these will not be considered: - Your CV — including your educational background. A degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is strongly preferred. - At least 3 projects you have built — for each one, briefly describe what it does, what your role was, and what technologies you used. Links to live projects or GitHub repositories are required where available. - Your GitHub profile — so I can see your code history and activity. No lengthy cover letter needed. Let your education and your work speak for themselves.
