The Challenge

You'll architect serverless backend systems, design scalable APIs, and help us turn massive datasets into real-time insights. The goal: take what once took users hours and make it happen in seconds. As a senior engineer, you'll also mentor teammates and drive technical decisions. Small team. Big impact. Real problems.


What You'll Build

  • High-availability systems that handle billions of requests without breaking
  • AI-powered features that transform how customers interact with their data
  • Serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS) that scales automatically
  • Scalable APIs that support our growing developer ecosystem
  • Real-time analytics that turn hours of analysis into seconds

You'll work directly with product and design, own entire features end-to-end, and have actual influence on product direction. You'll mentor engineers and shape our technical strategy.


What We're Looking For

Must have:

  • 7+ years building production software
  • Previous experience working in SaaS companies with an understanding of SaaS-specific challenges and business needs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with proven ability to work effectively in remote distributed teams
  • Strong Node.js and Python skills (async patterns, serverless architecture)
  • Previous experience working in SaaS companies with an understanding of SaaS-specific challenges and business needs
  • Deep AWS experience (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, SNS)
  • Database optimization experience (SQL and NoSQL)
  • CI/CD and automated testing know-how
  • Remote work experience; you communicate clearly in writing and can work autonomously
  • Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to technical culture


Not Required, but great if you also have:

  • Familiarity with AWS security best practices and compliance standards
  • Experience with real-time analytics processing
  • Experience with C#
  • Experience with microservices architecture
  • Background in high-traffic consumer applications
  • An understanding of networking areas such as URL shortening, redirection logic, and efficient link routing to complement the platform's functionality is appreciated


We're serverless-first, which means you focus on building features, not managing infrastructure. We iterate fast, ship constantly, and solve real technical problems at scale.


Equal Opportunity Employer: We hire based on talent, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
