About the job
Senior Back-End Engineer (TypeScript, Node.js, AWS)



Location: Remote or Hybrid (Illinois HQ)
Work Authorization: U.S. work authorization required. No sponsorship available. No third parties or partnerships. 



The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Back-End Engineer to help build and scale the cloud platform behind a globally recognized hardware and technology ecosystem.


This is not a front-end role and not an embedded role.


It is a hands-on back-end engineering position focused on TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS, building distributed services that connect physical products, cloud infrastructure, and client applications at scale.


If you enjoy designing APIs, building reliable cloud services, and working on systems that operate in the real world - not just the browser - this role is worth your attention.


What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Designing and building back-end services in TypeScript (Node.js) for physical products
Owning REST-based APIs and asynchronous service-to-service communication
Developing AWS-based, cloud-native services (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB or equivalent)
Building and maintaining platform services that support connected devices, mobile apps, and web clients
Improving system reliability, observability, and performance in production environments
Working closely with cloud, product, and firmware teams to define clean service boundaries
Participating in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern deployment workflows
This role is roughly 70–80% back end, with limited front-end involvement strictly for integration and collaboration.


What We’re Looking For (Core Requirements)

5+ years of professional software engineering experience
Strong back-end experience with TypeScript and Node.js
Proven ability to design and maintain production APIs (REST required)
Hands-on experience deploying and operating services in AWS or a comparable cloud platform
Experience with asynchronous programming, distributed systems, and event-driven patterns
Comfort owning services end-to-end: design, build, deploy, and support
Experience working in a CI/CD environment with Git-based workflows
Bachelor’s degree in computer science 


Helpful - but Not Required

Experience with GraphQL, WebSockets, or real-time systems
Exposure to IoT, device-to-cloud systems, or hardware-adjacent platforms
Familiarity with Angular or modern front-end frameworks (integration only)
Some background in C/C++ or embedded environments (collaboration context, not daily coding)


What This Role Is Not

To be explicit, this role is not:
A front-end or UI-focused position
An embedded/firmware engineering role
A DevOps-only or infrastructure-only role
Not seeking someone that is a software engineer developing applications or software for business operations. Example: someone that is currently working at a bank, insurance, or healthcare company. 
This is a senior back-end / platform engineering role for someone who wants to build systems that live beyond the browser.


Why Engineers Stay Here

Work on software that powers real products used worldwide
Join a technically serious organization with long-term stability
Collaborate with engineers across cloud, firmware, and product disciplines
Flexible work model with a culture that values deep focus and craftsmanship
