📋 Description

• Architect, refactor, and scale a high-load distributed system where failure is not an option. • Lead by example - code, review, debug, and mentor through doing, not preaching. • Tune performance until it screams - reduce latency, optimize throughput, and kill inefficiencies. • Make tough calls: design trade-offs, architecture rewrites, tech debt prioritization. • Work side-by-side with Product Owners and Solution Architects - no “handoffs,” just shared goals. • Build systems that outlive trends - resilient, measurable, and elegant. • Jump into incidents, own RCA, and make sure it never happens again. • Push the “PoC-first” mindset - test fast, fail smart, scale what works.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of backend experience - you’ve built serious stuff, not toy projects. • Deep in Node.js / TypeScript, comfortable with async flows, gRPC, and Kafka. • Hands-on with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS. • You can diagram a microservice architecture from memory - and then improve it. • Obsessed with performance metrics, observability, and efficiency. • You think like an engineer, act like an architect, and deliver like an owner. • You’ve led engineers - maybe not by title, but by respect and example. • Bonus: You’ve touched ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully remote. Work from anywhere in Europe. • Unlimited vacation + paid sick leave. Life happens — take time. • Quarterly bonuses. Real performance, real rewards. • Medical insurance for you and your partner. • Learning budget for courses, conferences, and certifications. • Ownership and autonomy. You decide how to make things faster, cleaner, better. • No bureaucracy, no filler. Just meaningful engineering work.
