Full Stack Web Engineer

Remote | Full-time

Sched powers thousands of events worldwide professional development programs, academic conferences, industry gatherings, and community meetups.

When our platform works well, people connect, learn, and move forward. When it doesn’t, those experiences break down.

We are a profitable, established SaaS company with real users and real production systems.

The features you build will be used immediately by organizers and attendees around the world.

We’re looking for a hands‑on full stack engineer who can build across Vue 3 frontend systems and PHP backend services, own features end to end, and move comfortably between product needs, code, and production realities. The right person has strong experience with modern frontend development, production PHP, REST APIs, debugging, and improving legacy systems without setting the building on fire. They should be thoughtful, reliable, and collaborative, with the judgment to handle ambiguity, participate in on‑call, and connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes.

This is a hands‑on engineering role that spans Vue 3 frontend systems and PHP backend services. You will own features end‑to‑end, from understanding the customer problem through deployment and monitoring. You will work across frontend, backend, API, and infrastructure systems depending on what the team needs. You will also participate in an on‑call rotation and respond to production incidents when they arise.

• Build and maintain frontend features using Vue 3, Type Script, and Tailwind CSS
• Write clean, semantic, accessible HTML and responsive CSS
• Improve rendering performance, browser compatibility, and load times
• Debug production UI issues, edge cases, and cross‑device inconsistencies

• Develop and modify backend services in a frameworkless PHP 8.3 monolith and newer Laravel services
• Work with MySQL‑backed systems and production data with care for data integrity and security
• Maintain stability of core functionality while supporting modernization efforts

• Participate in an on‑call rotation to respond to production incidents
• Work with production server infrastructure, containerized services, and deployment tooling
• Contribute to monitoring, alerting, and observability across the platform
• Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and release processes

• Participate in and conduct code reviews with constructive, specific feedback
• Write and improve automated tests to reduce regressions and build deployment confidence
• Document your work: technical decisions, system behavior, and operational runbooks
• Identify and implement improvements to team development workflows
• Participate in incident triage and post‑incident review when production issues arise

• Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to align on priorities and scope
• Communicate status, blockers, and technical tradeoffs clearly in writing and in conversation
• Make prioritization decisions within your work, connecting tasks to customer and business outcomes
• Help teammates grow through knowledge sharing, pair programming, and constructive review
• Push back when needed, propose alternatives with evidence, and commit to the path the team selects

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building production applications in Vue.js or a comparable component framework
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript/Type Script
• Strong debugging skills across frontend and backend, including browser behavior and rendering performance
• Experience building and consuming REST APIs backed by relational databases (MySQL or similar)
• Experience working with PHP in production, including codebases that run without a framework
• Demonstrated ability to work within, improve, and modernize existing systems without breaking them
• Experience writing automated tests at one or more levels (unit, integration, end‑to‑end)
• Comfort navigating ambiguity: scoping work from unclear inputs, making tradeoffs, and adjusting…
