ABOUT THE JOB

As Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll own the systems that power this growth. This isn’t a maintenance role.We’re not looking for someone to “keep APIs alive.”

This is a backend-only role. If most of your recent work has been frontend, or an even fullstack split, this isn’t the right fit – we need someone whose day-to-day has been backend, in Node.js and TypeScript, for years. Not someone who touches it occasionally.

We’re looking for someone who:▸ takes initiative,▸ thrives in fast-changing environments,▸ isn’t afraid to zoom out to design complex systems or zoom in to perfect a single query.

You’ll design and scale backend systems in Node.js and TypeScript, make bold architectural calls, and build APIs that other engineers love to use. You’ll dive deep into data flows, caching, and performance – always thinking about how backend decisions shape the user experience.

• Architect and evolve backend systems that support millions of active users – from designing architecture to making sure everything runs smooth at scale.

• Build APIs engineers love – clean, reliable, and intuitive, so the frontend team can move fast without friction.

• Work with complex data flows, caching, and messaging.

• Catch performance bottlenecks before users ever notice them.

• Work closely with product, frontend, and data teams – ship fast, iterate faster.

• Bring fresh ideas, constantly push limits, challenge assumptions, and raise the bar for backend engineering.

• 5+ years building backend systems at real scale

  • you’ve seen what works and what breaks when millions of people use a product.

• Strong Node.js + TypeScripton the backend. This is your primary stack, and it shows – async code, event loops, and backend architecture decisions are second nature to you.

• Experience designing scalable architectures and REST APIs other engineers actually want to use.

• Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and Elasticsearch

  • comfortable with large datasets, unbothered by a bad query plan.

• Hands-on with Redis and RabbitMQ – you know how to make systems both fast and resilient.

• Confidence around infrastructure: Nginx, Kubernetes, deployment pipelines.

• Go is a HUGE plus. If you’ve shipped services with it, great – tell us. If you haven’t but you’re curious to pick it up as part of the role, that works too.

• Prefer freedom over fixed schedules – remote, flexible, unlimited time off.

• Are naturally curious and love driving real impact for users and the business.

• Can wear multiple hats – we love experts, but we also value jacks of all trades.

• Keep things cool, calm, and collected – save the drama for your llama.

• Like challenges and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to win.

• Believe in working smarter, not harder – focus on productivity and results, not punching the clock.

• Follow your passion and have fun while doing work that actually matters.
