About Us

At Zappyrent, we’re revolutionizing the long-term home rental market. Our mission is to make renting easier, safer, and more efficient for both tenants and landlords—from first contact to the end of the stay. By automating the rental process, we remove the friction traditionally associated with renting and create a smoother experience for everyone.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Junior Full Stack Developer to join our growing engineering team. This role has a stronger focus on the back end, while still offering exposure to front-end development. You’ll work closely with more experienced engineers, contributing to the development and maintenance of our platform while learning best practices around scalability, performance, and clean architecture.

This is a great opportunity for someone with around 1 year of experience who wants to grow fast in a modern, international tech environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Write and maintain clean, reliable code using TypeScript.
• Contribute to backend development, primarily using NestJS (training and support provided).
• Support frontend development with React and Next.js, building scalable user interfaces.
• Work with MySQL and/or PostgreSQL databases.
• Assist in developing and maintaining microservices-based systems.
• Help integrate and work with messaging systems like RabbitMQ.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver features.
• Debug, investigate, and fix technical issues with guidance from the team.
• Learn and use AWS or other cloud services as part of day-to-day development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Around 1 year of experience in software development (internships or junior roles count).
• Basic understanding of TypeScript and backend development concepts.
• Familiarity with React and modern frontend fundamentals.
• Some exposure to NestJS, Next.js, or microservices (professional or personal projects).
• Basic knowledge of relational databases (MySQL and/or PostgreSQL).
• Interest in cloud technologies such as AWS.
• Willingness to learn, ask questions, and grow within a team.
• Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Nice to Have

• Basic knowledge of PHP or Python.
• Curiosity about AI tools for development and prototyping (e.g. Cursor, Replit, Devin AI, Bolt New).
• Experience with side projects, open-source contributions, or startups.

Why Join Us

• Join a fast-growing, VC-backed startup transforming the rental market.
• Learn from experienced engineers in a supportive, collaborative environment.
• Real opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
• Fully remote work with an international team.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
