Learn and contribute to backend systems and APIs that ingest, process, and route data, implementing well-scoped features and bug fixes with guidance from more senior engineers.
Design, develop, test, and maintain clear, maintainable code in Node.js/TypeScript that delivers the right outcomes for our customers, starting with smaller, well-defined tasks and growing into more complex work over time.
Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and product managers to understand requirements, ask clarifying questions, and turn feature specifications into implementable stories and code.
Write and extend automated tests (unit, integration, and functional) for the code you ship, following existing test plans and patterns and contributing to new test cases as you gain experience.
Participate in code reviews: both as an author and a reviewer-in-training—incorporating feedback to improve code quality, testing, and readability while learning from more experienced teammates.
Help investigate and fix bugs in collaboration with senior engineers, learning how to use logs, metrics, and other observability tools to understand and debug distributed systems.
Support performance and correctness work around time-series data storage and query paths by pairing with teammates and tackling well-bounded tasks that improve reliability and efficiency.
Develop good engineering habits: writing tests alongside code, keeping documentation up to date, breaking problems into smaller pieces, and asking for help early when you’re stuck.
Take ownership at an appropriate scope: own your tickets, communicate status clearly, follow through on commitments, and escalate risks early; over time, grow into owning small features end to end.
Participate in the team’s support/on-call rotation over time: you’ll start by shadowing more experienced engineers and gradually take on more responsibility as you become comfortable with the systems and tooling.
Contribute to a healthy team culture by asking questions, sharing what you’re learning, and speaking up with ideas even when you’re the most junior person in the room.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience (internships, open source, significant personal projects).
Solid CS fundamentals from coursework or experience: data structures, algorithms, basic networking and operating systems concepts, and an interest in distributed systems and scalability principles.
Experience with at least one programming language used for backend or systems work (JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, etc.); familiarity with Node.js/TypeScript from projects, internships, or labs is a plus.
Some exposure to backend services or data-intensive applications, such as building APIs, data processing pipelines, or working with message queues and databases in school or internship work.
Familiarity with Linux or Unix-like systems as a development environment (shell basics, processes, files, simple troubleshooting).
Exposure to Docker or containerization and at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) through labs, side projects, or internships is a plus.
Understanding of testing and CI/CD concepts. For example, running unit tests locally, using Git-based workflows, or working with pipelines like GitHub Actions, Bitbucket, Jenkins, or CircleCI in a school or internship setting.
