# Custom Software Developer

> MeanPug Digital · New York, United States (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-09-16

**Salary:** USD 65,000–80,000

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

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

-   Medical, dental, and vision insurance
-   Company-sponsored 401(k) with matching
-   Flexible work schedule, work when and where you're most productive as long as deliverables are met
-   Up to $500 reimbursement for pet adoption fees or vaccinations
-   Technology stipend for equipment setup
-   Professional development opportunities
