📋 Description
• Build & Scale High-Impact Systems with a Modern, Low-Level Approach.
• Optimize high-traffic Node.js services for vertical and horizontal scaling (thousands of RPS).
• Deep dive into performance bottlenecks and squeeze every millisecond out of the stack.
• Work directly with self-managed infrastructure handling terabytes of data - no “click-to-scale” cloud abstractions here.
• You’ll be involved in deploying, scaling, and monitoring the services you build, using a DevOps mindset.
• Embrace AI-Assisted Development to Revolutionize Workflow.
• Use tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other AI coding helpers to boost quality and speed.
• Experiment with emerging AI solutions and share learnings across the team.
• Continuously refine processes so we ship smarter, not just harder.
• Own Critical Problems End-to-End in a Fast-Paced SaaS Environment.
• Take full ownership of complex technical challenges - from design to production fix.
• Diagnose and resolve critical system or customer-facing issues with autonomy and urgency.
• Thrive in a dynamic startup setting where results matter more than process for process’s sake.

🎯 Requirements
• Minimum 4+ years of experience with Node.js in backend development (+ some Python experience).
• Proven track record of working with high-traffic platforms and scalable systems.
• Comfortable or open to operating outside managed cloud - bare-metal, self-hosted, or hybrid setups.
• Experience working in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and adaptability to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Linux environments, and basic system administration.
• Open to adopting AI-assisted coding tools and modern development practices.
• English - communicative level (B2).

🏖️ Benefits
• Good pay & benefits: We reward great work.
• Work from anywhere: 100 % remote; plan your day with overlap for team sync in the CET time zone.
• Open feedback culture: Clear communication and constant improvement.
• Try new ideas: We welcome experiments and fresh thinking.
• Shape critical parts of the system: Contribute to architecture decisions, improve core services, and help evolve our stack.
• Join the stable & profitable company: Many years of healthy growth, no VC pressure.
• Work at a huge scale: 300 + servers across 6 continents, petabytes of data, billions of requests every day.
• Code first: You write and review production code daily, owning features end-to-end.
