We're looking for a Custom Software Developer to join MeanPug's dev team and help build the internal tools, automations, and data solutions that power our work for law firm clients. This is not a client-facing role. You'll work closely with and take direction from our lead developer, building custom software that our teams use day-to-day to deliver better results at scale.
The scope is intentionally broad. One week you might be building a scraper to pull competitor data, the next you're spinning up a dashboard to visualize client performance metrics or automating a workflow that used to take the team hours to do manually. If you're someone who likes variety, enjoys solving practical problems with code, and wants to work in a fast-moving agency environment where your output directly impacts client results, this role is for you.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain custom web scrapers and data collection tools to support client research and competitive intelligence
- Develop data visualizations and reporting dashboards that surface insights for internal teams and client accounts
- Build automation workflows that eliminate repetitive manual tasks across the agency
- Work across the full stack as needed, from backend data processing to front-end interfaces
- Take direction from the lead developer on scoping, prioritization, and technical approach
- Write clean, documented code that other developers can understand, maintain, and build on
- Troubleshoot and maintain existing tools as they evolve alongside client and team needs
- Stay current on relevant tools, libraries, and approaches that could improve how we build
Requirements
- 2 to 5 years of software development experience with a demonstrated ability to ship real, working tools
- Comfortable working across both frontend and backend, you're not precious about which side of the stack you're on
- Solid Python skills for scripting, data processing, and automation
- Strong JavaScript and Node.js skills for frontend interfaces and API integrations
- Experience building web scrapers or data collection tools
- Comfort working with APIs, webhooks, and third-party data integrations
- Strong attention to detail and good documentation habits
- Comfortable working independently in a remote environment once a project is scoped
- Clear communicator who can flag blockers and ask the right questions without waiting to be chased
Bonus skills (nice to have)
- Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3.js, Chart.js, or Plotly
- Familiarity with automation platforms such as Make, Zapier, or n8n
- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or similar for deploying lightweight services
- Comfort with SQL or working with structured datasets
- Any exposure to digital marketing tools or platforms (Google Ads, GA4, SEO tools, etc.)
Benefits
