📋 Description

• Design and evolve core platform services, focusing on reliability, data integrity, and clear service boundaries aligned with business requirements • Identify architectural risks, scalability limits, and weak points before they become production issues; recognize when existing tools (queues, storage, frameworks) reach their limits and propose pragmatic, incremental improvement or migration paths • Own the technical relationship with partners as the primary technical point of contact: lead solution reviews, troubleshooting, and roadmap alignment; document technical decisions and integration details; ensure partners understand expectations, timelines, and constraints • Design and improve reliability mechanisms: retries and backoff, timeouts and idempotency, handling of partial failures, degraded and fallback modes • Drive improvements in observability (metrics, logs, tracing, operational visibility) and participate in production incident analysis • Contribute during the Discovery stage of projects: build PoCs, validate ideas, analyze third-party vendor APIs and proposed integration flows • Implement the most complex and high-risk backend components using TypeScript and Node.js, owning correctness under partial failure scenarios • Raise the overall technical maturity of the team, including senior engineers: thoughtful code reviews, decomposition of large or ambiguous problems, knowledge sharing through pairing and documentation

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional backend development experience • Deep hands-on experience building and operating crypto infrastructure: custody, wallets, exchange, payment, or settlement systems. • Strong backend expertise in TypeScript and Node.js • Deep experience in distributed system design: microservices architecture, service boundaries and data models, REST APIs and API contracts, queues and asynchronous communication • Hands-on production experience: incident response, debugging, API failures, data issues • Experience owning services end-to-end, from design to production support • Excellent knowledge of SQL (PostgreSQL) and understanding of other storage types • Strong reliability mindset and experience with failure scenarios; experience improving observability and investigating production incidents • Proficient daily use of AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot) • Ability to mentor engineers, including senior-level, and to evaluate trade-offs and propose practical solutions • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business conversations; strong written and verbal English.
