    Responsibilities:

    • Develop and maintain server-side logic using Express and JavaScript

    • Optimize application performance and troubleshoot technical issues
    • Participate in weekly virtual check-ins with the team

    Instructions:

    Please include links to your GitHub, portfolio, or any previous back-end projects you’ve built (Express.js, MongoDB preferred).

    At Prepify, we value strong communication and collaboration as much as technical ability. Our team works remotely through Discord and weekly calls, so we’re looking for volunteers who are:

    • Responsive — check in consistently and meet deadlines.
    • Collaborative — open to feedback and teamwork.
    • Proactive — share updates and ask questions regularly.

    Your application should reflect both your technical experience and your ability to communicate effectively in a team environment.
