About the Role:

We are building systems that operate at scale - high write volumes, real-time state sync, and burst traffic that doesn’t politely warn before it arrives. We are looking for engineers who love owning systems end-to-end, care deeply about performance and reliability, and want to build things that don’t just work - but last. This is not a ticket-execution role, its a system ownership role.

Responsibilities:

Backend System Ownership:
Design and evolve Node.js / NestJS services powering systems that operate at scale
Take architectural decisions that balance scale, cost, and long-term maintainability
API Craftsmanship:
Build well-typed, thoughtful REST contracts for high volume flows
Think in versioning, backward compatibility, and clean boundaries
Data at Scale:
Model and optimize MongoDB / Firestore schemas for high read/write workloads
Design atomic updates and consistency strategies for distributed systems
Scalability & Resilience:
Implement queues, caching layers, and rate limiting to handle burst traffic gracefully
Design for failure modes before they happen
Frontend Integration:
Ship modular Vue 3 UIs that efficiently consume APIs
Optimize realtime updates and state management (Pinia)
Improve Core Web Vitals and perceived performance
Observability & Production Ownership:
Instrument logs, metrics, traces, and alerts
Participate in on-call
Debug real production issues
Drive post-mortems to meaningful closure (not just documents)
Mentorship & Leverage:
Review code thoughtfully
Support junior engineers
Raise engineering standards across the team

Requirements:

4+ years of professional engineering experience
Strong backend-heavy fullstack background
Deep comfort with Node.js + TypeScript
Experience building and scaling microservices (NestJS / Express)
Modern frontend experience (Vue 3 or similar)
Strong understanding of: API design, Data modeling, Distributed systems tradeoffs, Concurrency & rate limiting
Real production debugging experience
Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP / AWS)
CI/CD and containerization familiarity

Nice to Have:

Pub/Sub or message queue experience
Event-driven systems exposure
Domain-driven design familiarity
Performance optimization work
Experience reducing infra costs
