Senior Backend Engineer (Node/Go) Offline

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our lean, highly skilled R&D team. In this role, you’ll work primarily on backend API development using Node.js (TypeScript), while also contributing to our powerful CLI tools written in Go. You’ll have a direct hand in shaping the architecture, scalability, and quality of a system used by modern engineering teams.

What You’ll Do

• Lead backend API development using Node.js (TypeScript) — designing, building, and maintaining scalable services.
• Contribute to CLI development with Go, enhancing tooling that empowers users to interact seamlessly with the platform.
• Architect and optimize backend systems and APIs, ensuring performance, security, and reliability at scale.
• Take complete ownership of projects, from initial definition and design to development, testing, and post-deployment.
• Collaborate closely with a tight-knit R&D team through code reviews, technical discussions, and product planning.
• Uphold coding standards and best practices while influencing architectural and technical decisions.

• Communicate technical concepts clearly across engineering and product teams.

   

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent engineering experience from a distinguished military unit.
• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years focused on backend development at scale.
• Expert-level knowledge of Node.js (TypeScript) backend development, with extensive experience building RESTful APIs and working with microservices architectures.
• Strong background in relational databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL), caching (e.g. Redis, Dragonfly), and cloud services (AWS: S3, RDS, IAM).
• Solid understanding of software architecture, API design, distributed systems, and scalable backend patterns.
• Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal).

• A collaborative spirit and drive for tackling complex technical challenges in a fast-paced startup environment.

   

Bonus points

• Hands-on experience with Go, particularly in building CLI tools or backend systems.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized application delivery.
• Experience working with graph databases (e.g., NeptuneDB, Neo4j).
