About the role

  • We are looking for a Mid-Level Backend Engineer who has "architectural empathy"-someone who writes clean Node.js code but keeps a sharp eye on how that code impacts database load, data ingestion pipelines, and AWS cloud-native scaling limits.

Responsibilities

  • Scale High-Throughput APIs: Own and optimize Node.js APIs to handle massive surges in traffic from concurrent users monitoring live social campaigns and conversion loops.
  • Drive Microservices Migration: Break down legacy monolithic components into nimble, decoupled microservices with crisp service boundaries and dedicated data isolation.
  • Optimize Postgres & Data Visualizations: Work deeply with PostgreSQL to tune complex aggregation queries, manage connection pooling at scale, and ensure our frontend analytics dashboards render heavy datasets instantly.
  • Integrate Python ETL Pipelines: Collaborate on data handoffs between our core Node.js APIs and our Python-based ETL pipelines handling asynchronous background data collection.
  • Own Engineering Documentation: Write, maintain, and advocate for high-quality technical documentation, API specifications, and system architecture diagrams to keep our distributed team aligned.

  • Room to Innovate: The opportunity to build and pioneer new technologies to solve complex data and product problems rather than just maintaining legacy code.

Requirements

  • The Node.js Expert: 3+ years of professional backend experience with Node.js, asynchronous patterns, and a firm grasp of how the runtime handles heavy, concurrent I/O performance under load.
  • The Database Optimizer: Proficiency with PostgreSQL, knowing how to index queries properly, avoid performance bottlenecks (like N+1 issues), and optimize for read-heavy dashboards.

  • Proficiency with PostgreSQL, knowing how to index queries properly, avoid performance bottlenecks (like N+1 issues), and optimize for read-heavy dashboards.
  • Familiarity with integrating AI tools into your daily engineering workflow (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to increase code output, debugging efficiency, and velocity.

Nice to have

  • AI-Assisted Velocity: Familiarity with integrating AI tools into your daily engineering workflow (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to increase code output, debugging efficiency, and velocity.
  • AI Architecture & Workflows: A conceptual understanding of modern AI systems, including Model Context Protocol (MCP), prompt engineering, or agentic frameworks.
  • Experience supporting or working with Python-based microservices or data layers.
