Backend Developer Node

 We’re looking for a Backend Developer with team leadership experience who can take ownership of server-side systems, data flows, and API architecture, while coordinating and guiding a team of engineers. You will contribute directly to the codebase and also drive technical structure and quality.
 You'll play a key role in turning complexity into clarity - coordinating with non-technical and technical teams to ensure shared understanding and consistent execution.
 Clear communication, system thinking, and process-oriented work are essential.  

Responsibilities

-Lead a team of developers: provide technical guidance, review implementation, and support growth.

-Design and implement backend services, APIs, and asynchronous processing logic.

-Collaborate with product and engineering peers to turn specifications into maintainable systems.

-Integrate external and internal APIs.

-Build reliable processing logic: scheduling, retries, error handling, monitoring.

-Coordinate planning, task breakdown, estimation, and prioritization processes.

-Ensure code quality through standards, reviews, and well-defined development workflows.

Requirements

-5+ years of experience in full-stack software development.

-Proficient in Node.js and TypeScript.
-Advanced SQL knowledge.
-Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and task queue management (e.g., BullMQ, RabbitMQ).
-Experience leading or mentoring engineers on delivery, structure, and quality.
-Comfortable using structured approaches to planning and managing work (Agile, OKR, issue tracking).
-English proficiency for written specs, documentation, and video calls.

Work Approach

-Structured, delivery-focused thinking: prioritizes clarity, traceability, and maintainability.

-Supports other developers in solving complex problems, improving their workflow, and growing professionally.

-Balances quick implementation with architectural clarity and forward-thinking decisions.

-Aligns development goals with broader product and operational objectives.

-Brings consistency and clarity into planning, reviews, and progress tracking.

-Works closely with non-technical team members to ensure that engineering efforts align with real-world needs and constraints.  

Bonus Points

-Previous work in early-stage companies or rapidly evolving environments.

-Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation.

-Participation in technical planning, including writing proposals, RFCs, or implementation outlines.
