Senior Software & Data Engineer, JavaScript

Back in 2012, we were a group of engineers and designers who decided we wanted to build things, so we did. Able started as an engineering and product hub building for a portfolio of early-stage startups. We built many relationships while developing products that were thoughtful, effective, and genuinely useful. But, since then, we’ve grown… and so has our ambition.

Now, we’re entering our next chapter, defined by applied AI. AI is a powerful force in the end-to-end software development cycle, and we’re creating practices that allow us to deliver software fast and more effectively than traditional approaches, creating meaningful value for our partners. Today, our builder mindset is driving us to become an AI-native organization across every function. We’re still evolving, and that’s part of the opportunity. If you want to build, learn, and tackle challenges alongside an ambitious team, let’s build together.

This position is 100% remote within LatAm.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design and build high-quality products using Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. You will operate across architecture and delivery, taking ownership of systems while also guiding teams and driving technical direction.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years building production-grade applications with real-world complexity.
• Experience operating as a technical lead or owning significant parts of a system.
• Strong expertise in JavaScript or TypeScript, React including Next.js, and Node.js.
• Experience building full-stack applications across frontend and service layers using modern TypeScript frameworks such as React, React Native, or NestJS.
• Experience designing and building APIs using REST and GraphQL.
• Strong experience working with databases and data modeling across systems such as PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.
• Strong understanding of system design, application architecture, and scalable system patterns.
• Hands-on experience with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with deployment, CI/CD, and infrastructure practices such as Terraform or similar.
• Ability to clearly explain technical decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience producing clear architecture documentation and guiding implementation.
• Strong ownership with the ability to drive problems end-to-end.

Nice to Have

• Experience operating as a technical lead or owning end-to-end systems
• Experience building AI-enabled product features or integrating ML systems
• Experience working in client-facing roles or multi-project environments

About Able

Able builds technology products in a portfolio model. We believe that people, teams, and processes are more important than the ideas themselves, so we’ve focused on bringing great people together, and investing in their growth.

We’ve built products in a variety of industries. Everything from media to finance to toys to healthcare. Sometimes we work with management teams to help their businesses grow faster or unlock value using technology. Other times we start or buy businesses outright.
