Requirements
• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, and solid working knowledge of Python • Proven ability to design and build RESTful APIs and work with third-party API integrations • Hands-on experience with Node.js frameworks such as Fastify, Hono, or Express • Solid background working with PostgreSQL, including schema design and performance tuning • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, logging, monitoring, and debugging production services • Strong skills in system design and backend architecture • Experience building automation workflows (e.g., with tools like n8n or similar) • Excellent English communication skills and a collaborative mindset • Comfortable working in a remote, async-first environment with at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern Time • We’ll prioritize candidates with strong AWS experience. If you’ve mostly worked with Azure, that’s still welcome — we’re happy to support ramp-up time. • If you’re applying to a variant of the role that involves some frontend work: experience with React or Vue is great, and we’re open to candidates willing to learn Svelte on the job. • We’re targeting backend-leaning full-stack engineers, candidates should have enough frontend experience to confidently build UI-facing features and support backend-driven automation that integrates with the frontend, including AI-assisted workflows. This hybrid strength aligns well with how our team collaborates and delivers.

• Design and build robust backend services that integrate internal systems and third-party APIs to support branding, content, and research workflows. • Lead system architecture decisions for new internal tools and utilities, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability. • Develop automation pipelines for tasks like asset delivery, PDF report generation, data synchronization, and marketing material creation. • Own API development end-to-end, including design, documentation, monitoring, and performance tuning. • Collaborate cross-functionally with content, branding, and research teams to understand needs and deliver backend solutions that unlock operational efficiency. • Ensure code quality and security, writing clean, well-tested code with clear documentation and thoughtful error handling. • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, sharing knowledge and promoting best practices through code reviews and technical discussions. • Drive observability and resilience, setting up logging, monitoring, and alerting for the services you own. • Stay ahead of backend trends, continuously evaluating and introducing tools or patterns that improve development velocity and system performance.
