BackEnd Engineer (Node.js + AWS Serverless)

We’re looking for a Back-End focused engineer to join a product team building scalable, event-driven services on AWS. You’ll work primarily on backend systems and microservices, with occasional frontend tasks as a nice bonus.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and maintain backend services using Node.js and TypeScript
• Develop event-driven workflows with AWS Lambda, SNS, SQS, EventBridge
• Build and evolve microservices with a focus on scalability, reliability, and clean APIs
• Own infrastructure changes using Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
• Work with PostgreSQL (schemas, queries, performance considerations)
• Contribute to deployments and delivery pipelines (CI/CD), and collaborate on Kubernetes-based environments

• Partner with the team to troubleshoot production issues and improve observability and stability

   

Tech stack

• Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, AWS (Lambda, SNS, SQS, EventBridge), microservices
• Infrastructure: Terraform (IaC), Kubernetes, CI/CD
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Frontend (plus): React, Material UI, Redux, TypeScript

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience building backend systems with Node.js + TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with AWS serverless and event-driven architecture
• Solid understanding of microservices (integration patterns, resilience, performance)
• Practical experience with Terraform (or another IaC approach) and modern delivery practices
• Confidence working with PostgreSQL
• Ownership mindset: you can take a feature from design to production and support it after release

Nice to have

• Frontend experience with React / Redux / Material UI
• Experience running workloads on Kubernetes
• Familiarity with improving CI/CD pipelines and developer experience
