Zofwe Hack Day: Full Stack (Frontend Focused)

No DSA. No whiteboard. No “what’s your biggest weakness.”

We’re hiring differently. Instead of grinding through interview rounds, you’ll spend a paid Saturday building something real with us. By the end of the day, we’ll both know if this is a fit.

We’re looking for frontend-focused full stack developers with 1-2 years of experience. Strong in JavaScript/TypeScript. Curious. Ready to ship.

The role

This is a full stack position with a frontend focus. You’ll build real products, make real decisions, and see your code in production. Not six months from now. From day one.

We’re a small, focused team. No layers. No waiting for approvals. You’ll work directly with the founder, ship features weekly, and grow faster than you would at a larger company.

Tech you’ll work with:

React and TypeScript (the core)
Node.js, APIs, and databases (you’ll learn as you build)
Modern tooling and AI-assisted development

What matters to us:

1-2 years of hands-on experience building things
Strong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
You’ve worked with React or similar frameworks
You’ve shipped something real, not just followed along with tutorials
You’re curious and you like figuring things out

Location: On-site, Aluva, Ernakulam

Who can apply: This role is for candidates from Kerala or currently based in Kerala.

How we hire

Traditional interviews don’t work. We’ve all seen people ace algorithm rounds and struggle with real code. We’ve seen talented builders freeze up in artificial interview settings.

So we do something different. We call it Zofwe Hack Day.

Step 1: Apply

Fill out the form below. Tell us what you’ve built, share your GitHub or portfolio, and let us know why you’re interested. We read every single application.

Step 2: Get invited

If your application stands out, we’ll invite you to Hack Day. It happens on a Saturday at a co-working space in Ernakulam. We’ll share the exact location once you’re confirmed.

Step 3: Build with us

You’ll spend the day working on a real project with us. Bring your laptop (BYOD).

The day looks like this:

10:00 AM / Kick off. You get a project brief.
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM / You build. Ask questions. Think out loud. We’re right there with you.
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM / Lunch together. On us.
2:00 PM to 6:00 PM / Keep building. Wrap up. Show us what you’ve made.

By the end of the day, you’ll have built something real. And we’ll both know if this is a fit.

Step 4: Get paid

Your Saturday is valuable. We’re not asking you to work for free. Everyone who joins Hack Day gets a stipend for the day, regardless of the outcome.

Why this works

Hack Day shows us things interviews can’t. How you approach a new problem. How you ask for help. How you handle ambiguity. How you write code when no one is timing you.

And it works both ways. You’ll see how we communicate, what we value, and how we actually work. You’ll leave knowing whether Zofwe is the right place for you.

No guessing. No surprises. Just a day of real work.

What you get at Zofwe

Real ownership. You won’t be a cog. You’ll own features end-to-end.
Fast growth. Small team means more responsibility, more learning, more impact.
No nonsense. We build and ship. Meetings are rare. Politics don’t exist.
Great tools. Modern stack, AI tooling, good hardware. We invest in developer experience because it matters.

Let’s talk about pay

We’re an early-stage product studio. A small team building real products, growing step by step.

The people who join now are joining early. You’ll have access to tools and opportunities that most developers wait years to get. AI-assisted development, modern infrastructure, clean codebases with no legacy baggage. You’ll own features end-to-end. Your code ships. Your decisions shape the product.

The pay range is ₹20,000 to ₹35,000 per month, based on your experience and what you bring to the table.

What we can promise is this: as Zofwe grows, you grow with it. The early team shapes everything. How we build. What we build. How the company evolves. That’s the trade-off, and we think it’s a good one for the right person.

If you see the opportunity in that, we’d love to hear from you.
