Backend Node.js Developer

How We Work

We are looking for someone who thrives in an environment of trust and ownership. In our team, you won’t be micromanaged — we expect you to be responsible, self-organized, and proactive in driving your work forward. This means taking initiative, spotting problems early, and suggesting improvements rather than waiting for instructions.

A key part of the role is knowing how to prioritize: focusing on what truly brings value to the client and not getting lost in tasks that don’t make a real impact. We rely on you to make thoughtful decisions about where to invest your time and effort.

While we value independence, you’re never on your own. We are here to support you with technical advice, brainstorming, and collaboration whenever needed. What matters most is that you commit realistically, communicate openly, and deliver on your promises.

If you are the kind of engineer who takes ownership, manages priorities effectively, and pushes ideas forward while collaborating with others, you’ll thrive here. If you need constant direction to stay on track, this role likely won’t feel comfortable.
