Remote 1099 Software Developer Contractor Jobs in Kansas

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with deep expertise in Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/Supabase, and AI-assisted development to design, build, and deliver the scalable, secure systems behind our cybersecurity platform.

This is a hands-on, product-focused role for an engineer who:

• Thrives at the intersection of secure software engineering, data-heavy systems, and product innovation
• Is fluent in AI tooling (Cursor, Devin, Copilot, etc.) and knows how to turn them into real velocity - not toys
• Can design full-stack solutions, think strategically about risk and performance, and help us move business logic closer to the data layer (Postgres + Supabase)

• Full-Stack Development: Build and maintain secure, scalable web applications using Next.js/React, TypeScript, and Node - backed by PostgreSQL on Supabase (and AWS RDS during migration). Own features end-to-end from UI to database.
• Database-Centric Application Logic: Design and implement business logic close to the data using Postgres functions, views, triggers, Row-Level Security (RLS), and Supabase Edge Functions, minimizing unnecessary middleware and enabling high performance and strong data isolation.
• AI-Accelerated Development: Treat tools like Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and agent frameworks as core parts of your workflow. You'll use them to scaffold and refactor full-stack features, generate and evolve schemas, migrations, and RLS policies and build internal agents that automate repetitive engineering tasks and glue systems together
• Application Security First: Embed security best practices into every layer of development - from secure coding and dependency management to data protection and authentication/authorization (Supabase Auth, OAuth2/OIDC, SSO). Collaborate with security researchers to ensure features align with threat models.
• Product Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to translate customer pain points into impactful, intuitive features. Participate in product discovery and help shape roadmaps with a strong technical and data-informed perspective.
• Architect & Scale: Design and optimize API contracts, edge endpoints, and event flows using Next.js (server components, API routes) and Supabase (Edge Functions, real-time). Consider performance, resiliency, and multi-region deployment (read replicas, data partitioning) as first-class concerns.
• Data Expertise: Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL for large, multi-tenant workloads. Own indexing strategies, query performance, and data partitioning approaches to support 10x-30x growth in customers and data.
• Security-Integrated DevOps: Support automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, database migrations, and vulnerability scanning throughout the development lifecycle. Work closely with infrastructure engineers on Supabase + AWS environments, observability, and performance tuning.
• Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide guidance and thoughtful code reviews to peers, fostering a culture of quality, security, and ownership. Help raise the bar on full-stack, data-centric, and AI-native engineering practices.
• Continuous Learning: Stay ahead of trends in AI-assisted engineering, agentic systems, application security, Next.js, and modern Postgres/Supabase practices, and share what you learn with the team.

• Senior Full-Stack Engineer with experience building and shipping production web apps using Next.js/React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and a Node-based backend
• AI-native developer who regularly uses AI-assisted dev tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Devin) to move faster, improve code quality, and explore design options, and knows when to verify output
• Strong backend and data modeling skills in Postgres; experience with Supabase (Auth, RLS, Edge Functions, migrations) or similar Postgres-based platforms is a plus
• Security-conscious engineer with a solid understanding of secure web application development, authentication/authorization, and modern security best practices; familiarity with software supply chain security or interest in learning quickly
• Experience deploying and operating applications in the cloud (ideally AWS), with working knowledge of Docker, CI/CD, and modern managed or serverless platforms
• Product-minded and collaborative, balancing technical rigor with user and business needs, caring about testing and maintainability, and communicating clearly in a remote, cross-functional team

• 30 Days: Ship small full-stack features in our Next.js + Supabase stack; learn our security and data architecture; demonstrate effective use of AI tools + agentic workflows in your day-to-day work.
• 60 Days: Own and deliver secure, high-impact features end-to-end; contribute to schema and API design; help refine patterns for RLS, migrations, edge functions, and internal AI/agent tooling.
• 90 Days: Lead new initiatives, drive improvements in performance and security posture, shape our full-stack and AI-native architecture, and mentor peers on Next.js, Supabase, and AI-accelerated development.

• Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python
• Frontend: Next.js, React
• Backend / Platform: Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, Edge Functions, Storage), Node/TypeScript services
• Data: PostgreSQL (Supabase + AWS RDS during migration), Redis
• Auth & Security: Supabase Auth, OAuth2/OIDC, GitHub, Trivy, Snyk
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (for supporting services), modern CI/CD
• AI Tools: Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and modern agent frameworks where appropriate

• Be a part of building the leading platform for connected device cybersecurity.
• Join a fast-moving team that values transparency, innovation, and impact.
• Work fully remotely with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
• Comprehensive Benefits
• Investment: We offer learning stipends to support your professional development
• Equity: We offer equity so you can share in our growth and success
• Help solve some of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges facing connected device  manufacturers and the millions of people who depend on them

• $227,000 - $270,000
