Full Stack Web Developer Jobs in Waco, TX (NOW HIRING)

Job Description - Software Engineer (Mid-Level)

Reports To - Engineering Manager

Summary

AxisCare is hiring a full-time, fully remote mid-level Software Engineer to join a team that's actively rethinking how software gets made.

Does this sound familiar? You're a skilled developer, and you can see where things are heading. The engineers who arejustcoders - the ones whose value came from being the person who could translate a spec into working code - are the ones AI is going to eat up first. You don't want that to be you. You want to get ahead of this by going deep on the things that still matter: system architecture, software design, and a real understanding of the problems you're solving. This is a senior-track position, and you'll find a team of senior and staff engineers deeply invested in your growth.

We're no longer building the car by hand, so to speak. We're building the factory that makes great cars, with humans in the loop where the human touch matters most. We want engineers who are genuinely energized by that shift and want to help figure out what it means in practice. (Read more about how we think AI is changing product development.)

You'll join an autonomous project team working on our market-leading home care SaaS, built on a PHP web stack with a React/TypeScript frontend. You'll ship real features for real agencies whose operations depend on our software.

There will always be a need for people who deeply understand our customers' most important problems, solve them with high-quality software, and run that software reliably in production. That's the work that endures, and that's the work we're hiring for.

No egos here. Just a handful of humble, talented, and conscientious builders who play well with others and work as a team to ship great things.

What This Role Actually Looks Like

You'll be building well-scoped features with oversight and mentorship from senior and staff engineers who are deep in this work. But a mid-level engineer is something very different in 2026 than it was two years ago. Concretely, we expect you to:

• Use AI as a core part of how you build.Not as a novelty or a copilot for autocomplete, but as a primary tool for prototyping, exploring, refactoring, writing tests, and shipping. We want to hear about the workflows you've developed, where agents work well for you, and just as importantly where they break down.
  
• Push the tools until they fail, then tell us about it.We're actively mapping the frontier. An engineer who tries something ambitious with AI, hits a wall, and writes up what they learned is more valuable to us than one who sticks to what's comfortable.
  
• Care about the problem, not just the code.Since writing code is no longer the scarce resource, understanding what we should build and why it matters to home care agencies matters more than ever. The engineers who thrive here get curious about customers and operations, not just tickets.
  
• Ship quality software that's easy to change. High-quality software is valuable nowandeasy to change later. Moving fast with AI only works if the work holds up.
  
• Manage your time to ship on time.Make meaningful progress on what matters and avoid getting lost in unimportant details. This is more important than ever when AI makes it easy to chase rabbit holes.
  
• Share what you're learning.This is a team sport, and the team only gets better if wins and lessons travel.
  
• Write well.Good writing matters here. Remote work demands it, clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking is how you get the biggest impact from AI.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of professional experience on teams building web apps with the full PHP stack, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  
• Experience building React apps in TypeScript
  
• Working knowledge of object-oriented programming and relational databases (MySQL or similar)
  
• Comfort with Git and collaborative development
  
• Demonstrated, substantive use of AI coding tools in real projects.We don't need you to have mastered every agent on the market, but we do need concrete examples of what you've built with them, how your workflow has evolved, and a point of view on where they help and where they don't. "I use Copilot for autocomplete" isn't what we mean.
  
• A mindset of software development as a team sport, preferring team success over personal achievement
  
• A humble, always-a-student attitude. The ground is moving under all of us. The people who do best here assume they have a lot to learn and act on it.
  
• Based in the US (Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones) and authorized to work in the US or Canada

What We'd Be Excited to Find

• A habit of pushing AI tools past their comfort zone and thoughtful opinions about what you've seen. Agent-driven development, non-trivial refactors, prototyping throwaway versions to learn, etc.
  
• Experience building for cloud-native environments
  
• Familiarity with HIPAA-compliant software
  
• Experience designing RESTful APIs and integrating third-party APIs
  
• A blog, a GitHub with substantive projects, recorded talks, discussions about tough product development decisions you've had to make, or anything else that shows how you think about building software in this moment

Working Conditions

• Manual dexterity required to use desktop computer and peripherals

Compensation and Equipment

• Salary (TBD based on job experience and skill level)
  
• Medical insurance is covered in full for the employee (Medical, Dental and Vision)
  
• Company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment

How to Apply

Apply with a brief resume and either a written or video cover letter.

We review the cover letter before anything else in your application, so this really matters. This is your single biggest opportunity to improve your chances, and video submissions go right to the front of the line.

Prompt: Tell us about something you've built recently where AI was a meaningful part of how you built it. What did you try? Where did the tools shine, and where did they fall short? What did you learn about your own role as an engineer in the process? Then tell us why thisteam, atthismoment, is where you want to be.

Written:No more than 600 words. We're looking for clarity of thought and strong communication. Use AI if you want, but don't send slop.

Video:1-2 minutes, linked in the "Website, Blog, or Portfolio" section of your application. Doesn't need to be highly produced. We care about how you think and communicate.

We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds and every walk of life to apply. Every person on our team brings their own unique perspective, and it's what makes our products better and our work more rewarding. We're eager to support you so that you can ship work you're proud of.

Candidates only. No recruiters, please.
