About the role

Join a squad building high-throughput Node.js services and their consumer UIs. You will design APIs that serve millions of requests, implement resilient data models, and ship the front-end features that expose them — all in TypeScript.

We favour boring, well-tested technology and small deployable services. You will pair on architecture, review PRs with care, and take pager rotations for the systems you own.

What you'll do

  • Design and build Node.js APIs (Fastify / Express / NestJS) with a strong bias for correctness
  • Ship Next.js features across App Router — server components, streaming, ISR
  • Author SQL migrations and evolve PostgreSQL schemas thoughtfully
  • Add tests that run in CI on every PR (Vitest, Playwright)
  • Instrument services with structured logging + metrics (OpenTelemetry)
  • Perform code review that leaves the codebase healthier than you found it

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years shipping production Node.js in TypeScript
  • Real experience with Next.js (App Router) in production
  • Solid PostgreSQL, including query analysis and indexing
  • Confidence with Docker and modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar)
  • Excellent written English and async communication

Nice to have

  • Prior experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, NATS, Redis Streams)
  • Comfort with tRPC / GraphQL
  • Experience with edge runtimes (Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers)
  • You have shipped in fintech, marketplaces, or B2B SaaS
