  • Drive modernization initiatives by transforming legacy backend systems into a unified, high-performance platform.
  • Improve system-wide performance, observability, and scalability to support rapid global user growth.
  • Design, optimize, and oversee data strategies involving MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis environments.
  • Define technical roadmaps in collaboration with engineering and product leadership to align architecture with business objectives.
  • Establish engineering best practices across CI/CD, automated testing, security, and system design standards.
  • Mentor senior engineers and guide technical discussions to elevate engineering excellence across teams.
  • Design and support integrations that unify multiple invoicing and fintech products into a seamless ecosystem.
Requirements:
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience building high-scale, distributed systems.
  • 6+ years of deep hands-on expertise with Node.js, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
  • Strong background in microservices architecture and distributed system design at scale.
  • Advanced experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, including performance tuning and optimization.
  • Proven ability to design and scale REST APIs for web and mobile-first applications.
  • Experience leading technical strategy and participating in high-level architectural decision-making.
  • Strong expertise in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and backend performance optimization.
  • Prior experience in Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Solutions Architect roles preferred.
  • Background in fintech, payments, invoicing, or B2B SaaS environments is a strong plus.
  • Experience consolidating multiple products into a unified backend architecture is highly valued.
  • Familiarity with distributed tracing, observability, logging, and modern security practices.
  • Exposure to React.js and Tailwind CSS is considered an asset.
Benefits:
  • 100% remote work flexibility, allowing you to work from anywhere with a stable internet connection.
  • Highly competitive USD-based compensation aligned with top market standards.
  • Generous paid time off to support rest, recovery, and work-life balance.
  • Flexible, outcome-focused work culture emphasizing autonomy and ownership.
  • Opportunity to collaborate with leading U.S.-based companies on high-impact projects.
  • Access to a global, multicultural network of experienced engineering professionals.
  • Work alongside senior-level peers in a highly skilled and collaborative environment.
