Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, has a bias toward action, and combines deep backend expertise with a solid understanding of modern frontend frameworks
- You should be comfortable making architectural decisions, mentoring others, and jumping into the frontend when needed
- 5+ years of experience in full stack development, with a strong emphasis on distributed backend systems
- Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where speed and adaptability matter
- Expert-level knowledge in:
- Node.js with Express and/or NestJS
- TypeScript across both frontend and backend
- Angular (or React)
- MongoDB (plus other NoSQL/SQL databases)
- Experience building and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs
- Familiarity with distributed system patterns, including:
- Database replication and failover
- Event-driven architecture (e.g., message queues, pub/sub)
- Forwards/Backwards Compatibility, feature flagging, and zero-downtime rollouts using patterns like blue-green deployments, canary releases, and schema versioning to safely evolve APIs and services without interrupting users
- Proven experience integrating LLMs or GenAI systems (e.g., OpenAI, LangChain, AWS Bedrock, vector DBs, embeddings, etc.)
- Proficiency with Git, monorepos (especially Nx), and structured workflows (PR reviews, trunk-based dev, etc.)
- Strong practical understanding of cloud-native development:
- Containers (Docker, Docker Compose)
- CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on cloud experience (AWS preferred): IAM, ECS/EKS, API Gateway, S3, Lambda, Bedrock, etc
- Strong fundamentals in application architecture, security, and performance optimization
- Deep understanding of eventual consistency, CAP theorem, and multi-region system design
- Familiarity with ECS/EKS
- Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, etc.)
- Knowledge of observability tooling: structured logging, tracing, metrics (e.g., Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
- Experience with auth systems (OAuth2, Auth0, etc.)
- Prior work on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems or LLM-enabled products
- Knowledge of advanced patterns in frontend state management (e.g., NgRx, Redux, etc.)
What the job involves
- We're seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a strong backend orientation to help us build intelligent, scalable applications powered by generative AI
- You'll be a key contributor in architecting AI-driven features and shipping end-to-end solutions that drive real impact
- You’ll work cross-functionally with product, AI/ML, and design teams—translating complex logic and LLM interactions into secure, reliable, and high-performance applications
- Design, implement, and maintain robust full-stack systems with a focus on backend services, data pipelines, and horizontal scalability
- Implement and optimize APIs (REST/GraphQL), database models, and microservices with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and security
- Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines using Docker, Nx, and cloud-native services (preferably AWS)
- Design backend systems with a clear understanding of data consistency, replication, and partitioning strategies in NoSQL environments
- Collaborate with other engineers to integrate LLM-powered features, embeddings, and RAG pipelines into production systems
- Collaborate on frontend efforts in Angular or React, ensuring seamless integration with backend systems
- Perform code reviews and participate in architecture discussions
- Proactively identify bottlenecks and improve resiliency, observability, and scaling strategies
- Stay current with emerging AI tools, frameworks, and cloud technologies to keep our platform ahead of the curve
