If your idea of “full stack” is tweaking a WordPress theme and writing two lines of JavaScript… don’t bother.
We’re hiring someone who can actually build, debug, optimize, and ship — not someone who needs StackOverflow to survive every 10 minutes.
Pekaabo is a fast-paced marketing agency working across AI, tech, SaaS, hospitality, e-commerce, and global brands. We’re lean, we move fast, and we don’t have patience for slow thinkers or sloppy work.
Who We’re Looking For
A developer who is :
- Writes clean, readable, maintainable code — not spaghetti chaos.
- Uses AI tools intelligently to accelerate workflows — not to generate garbage code.
- Understands design enough to avoid creating ugly UX nightmares.
- Can build high-performance, responsive websites without relying on a thousand plugins.
- Knows how to Google intelligently but doesn’t depend on it for every function.
- Can take ownership of tasks without asking for “step-by-step instructions.”
- Executes fast and fixes bugs without excuses.
- Cares about page speed, SEO-friendliness, security, and real-world usability.
