Description
International product startup building next-generation AI-powered developer tools is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js / TypeScript). The product combines AI generation, visual editing, and product structuring into a unified platform for building and scaling web applications. This role focuses on cloud infrastructure and distributed systems, with a high level of ownership in building a scalable backend foundation for an AI-driven product.
You’ll be joining a team where engineering excellence is the standard. We value clean, type-safe and tested code, continuously deployed on reliable infrastructure that we build. If you enjoy the challenge of creating a smart backbone for the next generation of web development tools, you’ll fit right in.
Core Responsibilities
Platform Services and APIs: Design and develop a robust ecosystem of services using Node.js and TypeScript that handle complex project lifecycles and real-time synchronization. Full ownership of the platform APIs, documentation and client libraries.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Maintain and scale our global footprint on modern clouds and services using Terraform. You will be responsible for ensuring our environment is reliable, secure, and optimized for performance.
Database & State Management: Manage data persistence for high-concurrency environments. You’ll manage complex data and caching layers to ensure efficient data access including schema design and caching strategy.
Distributed Systems: Build and maintain the orchestration layer that handles high-volume file operations, background jobs, and complex state transitions across the Dazl ecosystem.
Security & Compliance: Implement rigorous security protocols, including IAM management, data encryption at rest/transit and secure API design.
CI/CD & Observability: Own the deployment pipeline and monitoring stack. Improve our ability to detect, debug, and resolve production issues before they impact users.
Requirements
Strong professional experience in backend development, advantage for team leading skills.
Expert-level TypeScript and Node.js (Async patterns, Streams, Performance tuning).
Proven experience of managing CI/CD pipelines of production-grade systems on modern clouds - AWS/GCP/Azure. You should understand VPCs, IAM roles, and containerized deployment strategies using technologies like Terraform or Pulumi.
Proficiency in SQL (PostgreSQL/Aurora) and NoSQL (Mongo/DynamoDB/Redis).
Advantage: Familiarity with the unique challenges of building AI products, such as non-deterministic outputs and high-latency service integration.
