About Mars Based

Mars Based is a boutique development consultancy based in Barcelona, focused on delivering high‑quality, end‑to‑end web and mobile applications. We build solutions primarily using Ruby on Rails, React, and JavaScript, and strongly believe in remote work, clean code, and quality over quantity.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer with solid experience in Node.js, React, and Next.js to join our Martian crew. At Mars Based, you’ll work with a small, senior, and highly collaborative team that values autonomy, transparency, and craftsmanship. We care about doing things the right way, with clean architectures, thoughtful design, and deep, focused work (not endless meetings). If you love elegant code, solving real problems, and being part of a kind, experienced, and fully remote team, your next orbit might just be with us.
