Our culture is collaborative, ownership-driven, and focused on continuous improvement. We prioritize reliable engineering practices, active knowledge sharing, and clear, well-structured system design. We aim to build resilient, scalable systems while supporting each other’s growth and development.

Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and microservices
• Own features end-to-end, from design and architecture through implementation and deployment
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to define technical solutions
• Improve system performance, scalability, security, and reliability through debugging and optimization
• Work across areas such as data modeling, service communication, error handling, and system integrations
• Plan and coordinate feature releases to ensure smooth delivery and minimal business impact
• Support and mentor team members through code reviews and knowledge sharing
• Contribute to architectural decisions and continuous improvement of backend systems
• Act as a binding link between engineering teams, ensuring alignment and effective collaboration.

To thrive in this role, we expect you to bring:

• Background in computer science, software engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Demonstrated history of designing, building, and maintaining microservices architectures and service-oriented systems
• Demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality, production-ready software
• Solid experience working with both relational and non-relational databases, including SQL proficiency
• Solid background in building backend systems using Node.js, GraphQL, Express.js, PostgreSQL, React, and AWS
• Practical experience designing, building, and debugging APIs, along with working on distributed backend systems
• Deep commitment to software craftsmanship, maintaining clean code, and effective team-based development
• Experience with frontend technologies such as TypeScript is beneficial.

For this role, we work in a hybrid setup and collaborate closely with teams in the United States, which may require some flexibility in working hours to ensure effective overlap.
