Backend Engineer (Node.js + Python)

About the Project

We’re seeking a seasoned JavaScript/TypeScript Developer with a strong sense of ownership and maturity in evaluating and improving existing codebases. This role goes beyond pure coding—we want a pragmatic problem-solver who can challenge assumptions, push for technical consistency, and elevate engineering standards across services.

You’ll be part of a remote-first team primarily based in Ukraine, working closely with our Israeli counterparts. We operate in a microservices-oriented environment with cross-functional collaboration at its core. You’ll engage regularly with the Full Stack, Research (Data Science & Engineering), and Product Owner teams to help turn ideas into production-ready services.

We value soft skills as much as technical ones. You should be a proactive communicator, capable of aligning with non-engineering peers, asking the right questions, and pushing back when things need clarification.

This is an AI-first organization—we expect our engineers to leverage AI tools regularly to boost productivity, code quality, and development velocity.

Required skills:

Must-Have

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, including both frontend and backend development.
• Strong production experience with Node.js.
• Working knowledge of another backend language, preferably Python
• Solid understanding of modern web architecture and experience building scalable systems.
• Experience with cloud environments (preferably AWS).
• Proficiency with microservices architecture and service-to-service communication.
• Strong command of SQL and NoSQL databases, including MongoDB, Amazon DocumentDB, and SingleStore.
• Advanced English communication skills (both verbal and written).

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with React and modern frontend development practices.
• Familiarity with GraphQL APIs.
• Exposure to technologies such as Redis, Elasticsearch, and Kafka.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
