They combine a proprietary automation platform with managed services and FinOps expertise to reduce cloud costs (claiming average savings of over 50%), support Cloud FinOps programs, and deliver outcome-based engagements rather than hourly or seat-based billing. Virtasant also provides enterprise AI guidance and partners with major cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) to deliver migration, optimization, and 24/7 managed operations.

📋 Description

• Design and build backend services and APIs in Node/TypeScript, Supabase, and Deno • Work across PostgreSQL and our client's device telemetry data, plus the pipelines that move data between systems • Build and maintain integrations with third-party services and our client's connected devices • Own projects from scoping to launch: define milestones, keep work visible, and ship reliably • Instrument what you build and design for failure, so problems are caught early.

🎯 Requirements

• At least 5+ years building and operating backend services in production • Strong, current Node/TypeScript skills • Strong data modeling and SQL with Postgres • Experience designing and running microservices on AWS • Hands-on experience with CI/CD: building, maintaining, and trusting automated build, test, and deploy pipelines • Experience operating your own services in production: monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling, and an instinct for designing things to be observable and to fail safely • Comfort shipping behind feature flags and rolling changes out incrementally • A security-conscious approach to code and dependencies • Hands-on experience working with AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as part of your daily workflow • A track record of owning projects independently and working through hard problems with little direction • Clear communication and a habit of surfacing issues early.

🏖️ Benefits

• Totally remote, full-time (40h/week) • Work hours - 8 hours, between Pacific and East Coast office hours (up to you, within this time frame) • Long-term, no-end-date Independent contractor agreement • Payment in USD, biweekly or monthly - your choice
