Software Engineer, Elliptic

• 3–6 years of backend engineering experience with TypeScript and Node.js like NestJS or Express
• Proven ability to design, build, and maintain robust, well-documented APIs and integrate with external systems
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, S3) in production environments
• Proficiency in SQL databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and familiarity with NoSQL solutions
• A methodical, analytical approach to system design, architecture, and technical trade-offs
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, working effectively with engineering, product, and design teams
• If this role excites you but your experience doesn't perfectly match every bullet point, we'd still love to hear from you. We value curiosity, willingness to learn, and diverse perspectives just as much as specific tool experience
