The Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who thrives at the intersection of robust system

design and rapid product delivery. You will be responsible for building the backbone of our

platform, moving seamlessly between high-performance NestJS services, event-driven

architectures with Kafka, and scalable cloud infrastructure.

You aren't just a coder; you are a distributed systems thinker who understands how to balance

the simplicity of a monolith with the scalability of microservices.

Technical Requirements

● Backend Mastery: 5+ years of experience in backend development, with expert-level proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.

● Framework Experience: Extensive experience with NestJS (or similar DI-based frameworks) and Next.js for full-stack integration.

● Architecture: Deep understanding of Microservices, Monolith-to-Microservice transitions, and API Gateway patterns.

● Databases: Strong SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) skills, including schema design and query optimization.

● Infrastructure: Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud schedulers/orchestration.

● Messaging: Proven experience with Apache Kafka or similar message brokers for complex event-driven workflows.

Bonus Points (The "Good to Have")

● Polyglot Mindset: Familiarity with Java-based services or the ability to navigate legacy Java codebases.

● AI/ML: Experience integrating GenAI/LLM APIs into production workflows.

● High Scale: Experience managing systems with 10k+ requests per second or TB-scale data.

Our Tech Stack

● Languages: TypeScript, Node.js (some Java)

● Frameworks: NestJS, Next.js

● Data/Cache: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

● Streaming: Apache Kafka

● Cloud: AWS / GCP (Cloud Run, Lambda/Functions)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

● Complex Challenges: We don't just build CRUD apps; we solve distributed systems

problems at scale.

● Modern Tooling: We stay on the bleeding edge of the TypeScript ecosystem.

● Autonomy: We hire seniors to lead, not just to follow tickets. You’ll have a seat at the table

for architectural decisions
