• Database Management: Work with relational databases to design and manage data models that support our product needs, ensuring data accuracy and system efficiency.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to develop features and solve problems, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical feasibility.
• Code Quality & Best Practices: Contribute to the quality of the codebase through thorough code reviews, adherence to best practices, and participation in technical discussions focused on modularity, scalability, and reusability.
• System Optimization & Maintenance: Continuously optimize backend services for performance, reliability, and scalability, proactively identifying bottlenecks and potential issues before they affect users.
• Cloud & DevOps: Leverage cloud platforms (preferably AWS, GCP, or Azure) to manage infrastructure, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and ensure smooth deployment and monitoring of backend services.
• Technical Problem-Solving: Take a proactive approach to troubleshooting, working independently and collaboratively to solve issues effectively and provide long-term solutions.

What You Bring to the Role:

• 3-4 years of experience as a backend engineer, with at least 2+ years of solid experience in Node.js and TypeScript development.
• Proven experience in building and deploying scalable backend services and APIs.
• Strong knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) including database design, optimization, and SQL query skills.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, including basic understanding of cloud-native services, deployment, and infrastructure management.
• Familiarity with RESTful API design and best practices, ensuring seamless integration with frontend systems and external services.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and resolve performance and reliability issues.
• Experience working with Git for version control, participating in code reviews, and collaborating in an agile environment.
• Team-oriented approach, with a history of collaborating effectively with other engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to create well-rounded solutions.

Opportunities for Growth:

• Technical Leadership: Gain exposure to architectural decision-making and lead initiatives focused on improving system performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Deepen your experience with cloud-native technologies, taking ownership of aspects of our cloud environment to enhance backend capabilities.
• Skill Development: Participate in workshops, contribute to internal documentation, and benefit from mentorship to further develop both technical and soft skills.
• Product Impact: Work closely with product and leadership teams to influence the development of new features and enhancements, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical feasibility.
