SeniorBackendDeveloper

Design, build, and test features across our backend and frontend. You'll take part in design discussions, implementation, code review, and testing. **Technical skills** Strong TypeScript and Node.js engineering: You have built and maintained substantial TypeScript services in production. Micro-services design experience: You have built systems composed of multiple services and you have clear understanding of service boundaries, contract evolution, error handling across service calls, and observability. Kafka and event-driven architecture: You have worked with Kafka or a comparable event streaming platform in production. You have a good understanding of topic design, partition strategy, consumer group behavior, idempotency, ordering guarantees, and what happens when a consumer falls behind or a message cannot be processed. Bonus if you have specific experience with Confluent. PostgreSQL: You can design a database schema, and understand transactions, indexing, and migration strategy. AWS or equivalent cloud experience with Kubernetes: You are comfortable with operating services in AWS. You can navigate the services we use (e.g. EKS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, IAM etc.) and you can debug a problem that crosses the boundary between your code and the infrastructure it runs on. Unit test frameworks such as jest and vitest Playwright or equivalent end-to-end testing experience: You have hands-on experience with test authoring frameworks such as Playwright (ideal), Cypress, Selenium, or similar. Test design as a discipline: You can take an acceptance criterion or a user story and decompose it into a coverage strategy that includes unit, integration, and end-to-end tests in sensible proportions. You know when an e2e test is the right answer and when a unit test would catch the bug faster and more reliably. **Engineering qualities** Engineering quality as a habit: You think about testability while you design. Strong written communication: You write high quality and easy to understa
