Full-Stack Developer (Flask Backend, React/React Native, Scheduling System)
You will work on the heart of our operations platform, including:
• A Flask backend for scheduling logic, conflict detection, SMS handling, and API services
• An Admin dashboard used by dispatchers
• A React Native app for employees to receive schedules, confirm work, and communicate
• A real-time status and notification system for SMS progress, employee responses, and schedule updates
• A rule-based auto-scheduling engine with future expansion into scoring and AI-assisted recommendations
The system should scale to nearly 1,000 users across web and mobile without performance issues.

– messaging or responding
– viewing history of assigned work
* Implement offline-friendly behavior where appropriate
* Ensure smooth performance, simple onboarding, and clean UI
Quality Assurance & Debugging
* Create and follow a structured testing approach (unit tests, manual test plans, scenario-based testing)
* Identify edge cases in scheduling logic (overlaps, timezones, last-minute changes)
* Debug issues across backend, dashboard, and mobile app
* Ensure consistent performance and reliability as user load increases
* Collaborate on improving system stability and reducing production errors
Scalability & System Design
* Write code that remains stable with ~1,000 users

* Familiarity with background workers (Celery or similar)
* Experience with SMS APIs (RingCentral, Twilio, or similar)
* Ability to design clean data structures (SQL/NoSQL/JSON-based storage)
* Strong debugging ability across backend, web frontend, and mobile app
* Understanding of performance optimization and scalable code design
* Proficiency with Git and team collaboration practices
Nice-to-Have
* Experience building real-time interfaces (WebSockets/Socket.IO)
* Exposure to recommendation systems or basic ML logic (for future auto-scheduling phases)
* Familiarity with authentication flows for mobile and web apps
* Understanding of logging, monitoring, or test automation tools
Why Join Us?
* Build one of the core systems powering operations across multiple industries
* Work on scheduling, automation, SMS workflows, and real-time features
* Develop both a web admin portal and mobile app from scratch
* Contribute to future phases including scoring models and AI-assisted scheduling
