Company OverviewStay'd is a rapidly growing vacation rental collective built to redefine hospitality at scale. We bring together high-performing local brands under one umbrella, combining best-in-class operations, design, and revenue management to create standout guest experiences and stronger returns for homeowners.With thousands of properties spanning multiple markets, Stay'd is building a scalable platform designed to unify brands, systems, and performance while maintaining a high-touch, locally driven experience.We're not a marketplace. We're operators. And we're building something meant to last.The OpportunityWe are looking for a contract software developer to help us build and harden StaydOS, the internal software platform that powers how our portfolio runs. This is a focused, 60-day engagement with a clear mandate: bring real engineering discipline to software we've been building fast.A lot of our current tooling has been built quickly with AI assistance. We need someone who can come in behind that work, clean it up, and turn it into something we can confidently scale: solid architecture, sound data modeling, and proper security. This is hands-on, senior-judgment work. You won't manage anyone; you'll ship, refactor, and make the codebase production-ready.We operate with urgency and precision. Our culture is built around three core values:Solutions Oriented – you solve problems, not point them outMove Fast – you operate with urgency and bias toward actionNo Ego – you collaborate, take feedback, and prioritize the team over individual creditWhat You'll OwnCode Quality & RefactoringReview, refactor, and harden rapidly built ("vibe-coded" / AI-generated) software into clean, maintainable, production-grade codeIdentify technical debt and weak points, and proactively propose and implement fixesEstablish patterns and standards the team can build on after the engagement endsSupabase Architecture & SecurityOwn and improve our Supabase architecture, including schema design, row-level security, auth, and access policiesImplement security best practices across our custom internal tools (auth flows, secrets handling, data protection)Audit existing data models and access controls and close gapsStaydOS Feature DevelopmentBuild and extend features for StaydOS as priorities requireWork across backend and frontend in modern JS/TS stacksShip quickly and reliably with strong attention to qualityDocumentation & HandoffDocument what you build so the work is maintainable after the contract endsCollaborate async and on calls with the Stay'd team, with reliable overlap during US working hoursWhat We're Looking ForAI-native developer: you use AI coding tools daily and know their failure modes; you can tell solid AI-generated code from code that will break in productionStrong on architecture: you can take messy, fast-built software and turn it into something structured, scalable, and secureSupabase / Postgres fluent: real experience with Supabase (or comparable Postgres-backed stacks), including schema design, RLS, auth, and APIsSecurity-minded: you think about auth, permissions, secrets, and data protection by defaultFull-stack capable: comfortable across backend and frontend; modern JS/TS stacks preferredSelf-directed: you operate well remotely with minimal hand-holding and a strong bias toward actionAvailable immediately: you can start now and commit to the full 60-day engagementSomeone who embodies our core values: Solutions Oriented, Move Fast, No EgoExperience hardening or rescuing AI-generated / no-code / low-code codebases is a strong plusRole DetailsLocation: Remote, Pakistan (with overlap during US working hours)Term: 60-day contract (possibility of extension by mutual agreement)Start: Immediate (high priority)Engagement: Independent contractorCompensation: $8,000 to $10,000 USD for the full 60-day engagement.Why Join Stay'dDirect impact on the core software that runs a fast-scaling hospitality companyHigh-ownership role with real autonomy; you set the technical barWork with a team that moves fast and values results over processPotential to extend or expand the engagement based on fit and resultsHow to ApplyIf you can take fast-built software and turn it into something solid and secure, we want to hear from you.Please include:A short note on a codebase you've cleaned up or hardenedRelevant work, repositories, or projects (especially Supabase / AI-assisted builds)Your availability and confirmation you can commit to the 60-day term
