Your new company
Join a fast-growing, product-driven technology company operating with a globally distributed team across North America, Europe, and beyond. The culture is built on customer centricity, urgency, curiosity, and ownership—where engineers are empowered to take initiative, solve real problems, and drive meaningful impact without friction. Teams move quickly, ship often, and continuously evolve core systems and new products.
Your new role

- Contribute to shared libraries, tooling, and engineering best practices
- Collaborate cross-functionally to solve real customer problems
- Participate in on-call rotations (approx. 1 week/month) to support platform reliability
- Work in a remote-first, async environment with global collaboration
What you'll need to succeed
- Proven experience building scalable backend systems in production environments
- Strong hands-on development with TypeScript, Node.js (NestJS preferred)
and exposure to React - Experience working with distributed systems, APIs, and databases (MongoDB, Postgres, Redis)
- Solid understanding of testing strategies (integration, E2E, unit)
- Experience deploying and operating applications in AWS (ECS, Terraform)
- Comfortable owning systems end-to-end, including monitoring and debugging in production
- Strong written communication skills—comfortable working in a fully remote, async team
What you'll get in return
- Fully remote, globally distributed team with flexible working
- High-impact role with ownership over critical platform systems
- Opportunity to shape infrastructure and architecture at scale
