About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and maintain domain modules in a DDD-style Node.js/TypeScript monorepo.
Take vague product direction, sharpen it into a real spec, and ship a v1 — then iterate.
Design APIs, write docs, and manage database schemas and migrations.
Build features that span our main transactional backend and a separate analytics backend running heavy queries over creator data.
Write services that integrate with TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube APIs.
Work with queue workers for background job processing (media analysis, outreach, data syncing).
Deploy your own services to our cloud infrastructure, write the migrations, watch them go out safely.
Investigate production issues when they touch your code — trace through the observability stack to find the cause.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years backend development with Node.js and TypeScript in production.
Product mindset — you’ve shipped features where the brief was a paragraph, not a ticket. You ask why before how, make calls when requirements are vague, and iterate after release. You’ve sat across from non-engineers and left with a sharper problem than you walked in with.
Strong relational database experience — schema design, query optimisation, safe migrations at scale.
Comfortable deploying and operating your own services on a major cloud provider — containers, CI/CD pipelines, the basics of running things in production. You don’t need to be an infra specialist, but you don’t need handholding either.
Queue-based background job processing patterns.
REST API design and documentation.
Git workflow maturity — branching strategies, code review, migration safety. You understand why you don’t run destructive commands on a production migration.
