Role Description We are seeking a senior backend developer to shape and implement the core architecture of LangQuest, an offline-first, open-source app that enables language data collection with AI-assisted features for low-resource Bible translation.

Experience with Supabase, PowerSync (or similar sync engines), and CRDTs is a big plus. Contract cycle follows the calendar year (full-time preferred), competitive pay DOE, fully remote.
