📋 Description

• Architect Distributed Systems: Design and implement scalable backend services using Node.js and Event-Driven Architecture (SQS/SNS, Kinesis, or Kafka) to handle massive data spikes. • Data Modeling & Optimization: Own the schema design and performance tuning of PostgreSQL databases, ensuring data integrity and high availability for complex relational datasets. • Cloud Infrastructure: Deploy and manage production workloads on AWS, utilizing Lambda, ECS, and serverless patterns to drive efficiency and reliability. • Technical Leadership: Lead the technical design of high-impact features, performing deep-dive code reviews and mentoring mid-level engineers on backend best practices. • Operational Excellence: Drive the "you build it, you run it" culture by improving observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and reducing technical debt through pragmatic refactoring. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with frontend and AI/ML teams to define robust API contracts and data flow strategies that support our multimodal AI capabilities.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional experience in software development, ideally with Node.js and TypeScript. • Advanced experience with databases. E.g. PostgreSQL (complex joins, indexing strategies, query optimization, and migrations). • Proven track record of building and scaling applications on AWS (compute, messaging, and storage services). • Hands-on experience designing asynchronous systems, message queues, and event streams to decouple services and increase system resilience. • Strong experience building and maintaining production-grade RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL services. • A disciplined approach to testing (unit, integration, and load testing) and a focus on writing clean, maintainable, and secure code. • The ability to navigate legacy constraints while iteratively shipping modern upgrades without "big-bang" rewrites.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements • Generous PTO and sick leave • Professional development opportunities
