Remote Junior Full Stack Developer

Armour Payments

Armour Payments is hiring a Remote Junior Full Stack Developer to support the continued development, stabilization, and modernization of an existing payments and donation technology platform.

This role is ideal for a developer who wants real ownership, practical hands-on experience, and the opportunity to help evolve a live production environment into a more scalable, modern architecture.

You will work across web, application logic, integrations, and infrastructure-related projects as we transition away from a fragmented legacy environment toward a more unified, web-based platform.

About the Role

We are looking for a junior developer who can assist with improving, maintaining, and expanding an existing platform that currently includes:

The successful candidate will help support technical planning and execution across several major initiatives, including:

• obtaining pricing and technical estimates for continued development and platform stabilization
• supporting the migration of the platform toward React.js and React Native
• assisting with the decommissioning and removal of the native Android app from the Google Play Store
• helping move infrastructure away from AWS into a new hosting environment
• contributing to a transition toward a unified, web-based architecture
• assisting with security, system reliability, and modernization efforts

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the development, maintenance, and troubleshooting of web-based applications
• Support migration efforts from legacy or mixed environments into React.js and related modern frameworks
• Contribute to front-end and back-end feature development
• Help document current platform structure, limitations, and recommended improvements
• Review existing architecture and assist with technical planning for modernization
• Work with internal stakeholders to understand business requirements and platform priorities
• Support infrastructure transition planning and implementation
• Assist in identifying opportunities to improve platform performance, stability, and scalability
• Help manage integrations with payment gateways and related services
• Participate in bug fixing, QA support, and production issue resolution
• Support security best practices across application and infrastructure environments
• Assist with the transition away from the legacy Android application and support a more web-based user experience

What You’ll Be Working On

The overview document for this role includes exposure to:

• system architecture, including Android app, web portal, hosted receipts, and gateway integrations
• kiosk and web donation flows
• back office portal modules and role-based access structures
• current limitations, enhancement requirements, and modernization priorities

• Familiarity with cloud environments and infrastructure migrations
• Basic understanding of web security best practices

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who is practical, resourceful, and eager to learn
