About the Role

We're looking for a Backend Developer with strong expertise in JavaScript, Node.js, and System Design to build scalable, high-performance backend systems.

You'll work on modern web applications, AI-powered products, SaaS platforms, and enterprise software — with a focus on API-first, headless architecture. That means building the REST APIs and services behind decoupled storefronts and content platforms: a CMS managing pages and product content, a commerce engine handling carts and orders, and a Next.js frontend consuming it all.

You don't need production experience with specific tools like Directus or Medusa — but you should understand why teams separate content, commerce, and presentation, and be comfortable building the backend layer that connects them.

This role is ideal for developers who enjoy solving complex backend problems, designing scalable architectures, and writing clean, maintainable code.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop scalable backend applications using Node.js.

• Build secure, high-performance REST APIs and backend services.

• Integrate headless CMS and commerce backends with Next.js storefronts.

• Design scalable system architectures for modern applications.

• Optimize application performance, database queries, and API response times.

• Integrate third-party APIs, webhooks, and cloud services.

• Write clean, reusable, and production-ready code.

• Collaborate with frontend developers, designers, and product teams.

• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions.

• Troubleshoot production issues and improve system reliability.

Required Experience

• 2–3 years of professional backend development experience.

• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript and Node.js.

• Practical experience with System Design and scalable application architecture.

• Experience building REST APIs and backend services.

• Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and backend best practices.

Required Skills

Must Have

• JavaScript (ES6+)

• Node.js

• System Design

• REST API Development

• Express.js or NestJS

• MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL

• Git & GitHub

• Authentication (JWT/OAuth)

Good to Have

• Headless CMS or headless commerce platforms

• Next.js API routes or server-side data fetching

• Redis

• Docker

• AWS/GCP

• TypeScript

• AI API integrations

• Microservices architecture

What Makes You Stand Out

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.

• Ability to design scalable backend systems.

• Experience working on production applications.

• Clean coding practices and attention to performance.

• Ownership, accountability, and a continuous learning mindset.

Why Join Us?

• Fully remote work environment.

• Work on AI-first products and modern SaaS applications.

• High ownership and direct collaboration with founders.

• Performance-driven culture.

• Rapid learning and career growth.

• Opportunity to work on challenging engineering problems.

Who Should Apply?

Apply if you:

• Have 2–3 years of professional Node.js development experience.

• Are confident with JavaScript, Node.js, and System Design.

• Enjoy building scalable backend applications and API-first systems.

• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.

• Want to work remotely in a fast-growing product and engineering company.

If you're passionate about backend engineering and want to build high-quality software that scales, we'd love to hear from you.

How We Evaluate

After you apply, you'll complete a short screening covering REST APIs, SQL, backend architecture concepts, practical problem-solving, and hands-on coding exercises. It's designed for developers with ~2 years of experience — we care about how you reason, not trick questions.
