[Hiring] Senior Full Stack Developer @Apex Wheels

Role Description

Looking for a team where AI supports the routine work, but your judgment on what's correct and what's fast still carries the weight? Do you want real influence over how a platform evolves, not just tickets handed down from someone else's roadmap? Want to help build a tool that will actually accelerate a business? If this sounds like you, keep reading because Apex is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our growing team.

The Senior Full-Stack Developer builds and evolves Apex Wheels' internal operations platform, ensuring the data flowing from our NetSuite ERP stays fast, accurate, and trustworthy for the teams who run on it every day. This role focuses on shipping features across inventory and purchasing and strengthening the systems beneath them.

We're looking for a senior full-stack developer to help build and evolve our purpose-built internal operations platform. Today it powers inventory and purchasing, working from live data synced out of NetSuite, our ERP - but that's just the starting point. As we move through a broader digital transformation, this platform will extend across the organization, becoming the place where more and more of the business runs day to day.

Our CIO and CEO are bringing this internal platform to life, and it’s time to add support to supercharge our development. You'll be joining an established codebase, not starting from a blank page, with the chance to help shape a system that's steadily growing in scope and ambition.

We envision this role reporting to a Technical Lead in the future. This is a senior individual-contributor role. Most of your time goes into writing and reviewing code - reading existing implementations closely before changing them, refactoring what holds the platform back, and helping set the patterns the rest of the work follows. You'll make meaningful technical decisions and contributions and have real influence over how the platform evolves, working alongside the rest of the implementation team and stakeholders within the company.

Close collaboration with the people across the business who rely on these tools is a core part of the role - and with it comes the opportunity to help shape the outcomes you're working toward.

We use AI tools to enhance how we build - accelerating the routine work and freeing us to focus on the hard problems. But we stay fully responsible for the code we ship: AI is a multiplier, not a substitute for judgment. This is a business that runs on accurate data and sound operational decisions, so we hold a high bar for reliability and correctness in everything that reaches production.

There's real satisfaction in this work. You'll be building the tools a genuinely passionate team relies on every day - people who care deeply about their products and how they perform.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship features across the platform - inventory and SKU workspaces, purchasing and planning workflows, dashboards and data-heavy tables, and beyond - in Next.js and React with TypeScript.
• Work in the NetSuite sync layer - writing and maintaining the SuiteQL queries and sync pipelines that bring inventory, sales, and stock data into PostgreSQL.
• Model and evolve the database schema in Drizzle - writing and reviewing migrations, and keeping queries correct and performant as the data grows.
• Debug the ERP-to-platform path end to end when it misbehaves - implementing the fix rather than routing around it.
• Keep heavy pages and queries fast - instrumenting hot paths, tuning queries and indexes.
• Build background and queue work reliably (BullMQ / Redis) - idempotent jobs that don't duplicate work or leave data half-synced.
• Keep the codebase healthy - a clean, reusable component architecture (Tailwind + shadcn/ui), permission-aware server actions, test coverage as you go, and a real part in code review.
• Contribute to technical decisions and to the direction of the platform.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional full-stack development, shipping and maintaining production web applications end to end.
• Deep, hands-on experience with React and Next.js or equivalent in large production applications.
• Fluency in TypeScript, writing clean, type-safe code end to end.
• Solid command of relational databases with PostgreSQL - writing and reasoning about SQL directly.
• Production experience with a type-safe ORM and migration workflow - Drizzle specifically, or clearly transferable experience (e.g. Prisma).
• Confidence integrating with third-party and backend APIs.
• Security-conscious by default - SQL injection and parameterization, input validation, and enforcing authentication and permissions on every server-side mutation.
• Experience writing and maintaining tests and extending an existing suite.
• Comfort owning an inherited, partly-documented codebase.
• Solid command of Tailwind CSS and a component library (shadcn/ui or comparable).
• Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English to C2/C1 proficiency.

Nice to have

• Experience integrating with an ERP or another large third-party system - NetSuite / SuiteQL especially.
• Background-job / queue experience (BullMQ, Redis, or similar) with a feel for idempotency.
• Schema-driven form and validation patterns (Zod + React Hook Form or equivalent).
• RBAC / permission-model experience (resource + action authorization).
• Experience in inventory, purchasing, supply-chain, or ERP-adjacent domains.
• Experience with error monitoring and performance tooling (e.g. Sentry).

Benefits

• Long-term contract. Annualized compensation ranges from $5,800 - $6,600 monthly USD depending on experience.
• Motorsports lifestyle benefits to get you involved in the community as deeply as you’d like.
• Huge employee discounts on our products and free merch!
• A modern professional work environment supported through remote work, almost anywhere in the contiguous U.S. and Europe.
• Casual in-office dress (t-shirts and jeans are normal for us).
• In-person company events often include sim-racing, karting, spectator events, and visits to some of our favorite places in Northern California.

Our selection process is rigorous with the goal of finding the best overall fit for each position. We use Predictive Index, an EEOC-compliant assessment tool, to measure behavioral drives and cognitive ability as one of many indicators of potential job fit.

We meet virtually with candidates multiple times because, while first impressions matter, mutual alignment and capabilities matter more. We often engage our finalists in a short-term paid work assignment before making the final determination to extend an offer.
