📋 Description

• Own the full lifecycle of Opportunities backend: translate business and customer needs into scalable, production-grade services • Design and evolve the data model for pipelines, stages, deals, and associated entities — getting consistency, throughput, and query patterns right • Build and scale APIs, event-driven workflows, and background jobs that handle high-volume writes, automations, and integrations • Tackle distributed systems concerns: idempotency, eventual consistency, race conditions, hot tenants, and noisy-neighbor isolation • Improve performance and reliability of large pipelines (millions of opportunities per workspace) through indexing, sharding, caching, and query optimization • Ship end-to-end when needed — including UI changes in Vue — without blocking on cross-functional handoffs • Instrument the system: logs, metrics, traces, and SLOs that make production behavior legible • Drive incident response, postmortems, and the engineering hygiene that keeps a high-traffic product healthy

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years building and operating production backend systems at scale • Strong fundamentals in data modeling (SQL and NoSQL), API design, and distributed systems • Hands-on experience with Node.js or Go in production • Track record of owning services end-to-end — design, build, deploy, on-call • Comfort working independently in ambiguous problem spaces with high ownership • Solid grasp of scalability, performance, and reliability trade-offs • Experience building CRM, sales, pipeline, or workflow products • Worked on multi-tenant SaaS at scale (sharding, tenant isolation, fair-use limits) • Familiarity with event streaming (Kafka/Redis Streams), queues, and async processing • Exposure to MongoDB, Postgres, ElasticSearch, ClickHouse, or similar at non-trivial scale • Frontend fluency in Vue.js — enough to ship a feature without a frontend partner • Strong product instincts and a portfolio or GitHub of shipped work

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • Flexible working arrangements • Professional development opportunities
