About the client
The client is building a suite of SaaS products for websites—products with clear product-market fit, strong customer pull, and the potential to become $100M+ businesses.
As they grow, they need engineers who go beyond feature delivery. They are looking for backend developers who want to build enduring systems, make practical decisions, and help us ship great products with high velocity.
What You’ll Do
- Work with product, design, and support teams to turn real customer problems into thoughtful, scalable solutions.
- Design and build robust backend systems, services, and APIs that prioritize long-term maintainability and performance.
- Use AI-assisted tooling (where appropriate) to explore solution trees, accelerate development, and reduce toil.
- Improve velocity across the team by building reusable tools, abstractions, and internal workflows—not just shipping isolated features.
- Dig into problems deeply—whether it's debugging a performance issue, streamlining a process, or questioning a product assumption.
- Document your decisions clearly and communicate trade-offs with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You’ve built and maintained real-world software systems, ideally at meaningful scale or complexity.
- You think in systems and second-order effects—not just in ticket-by-ticket outputs.
- You prefer well-reasoned defaults over overengineering.
- You take ownership—not just of code, but of the outcomes it enables.
- You work cleanly, write clear code, and make life easier for those who come after you.
- You’re curious about the why, not just the what—and you’re comfortable contributing to product discussions
Bonus if You Have Experience With
- Building tools or workflows that accelerate other developers.
- Working with AI coding tools and integrating them meaningfully into your workflow.
- Building for SaaS products, especially those with large user bases or self-serve motions.
- Working in small, fast-moving product teams with a high bar for ownership.
How’s the team?
- Open and flat hierarchy
- High-agency work with a get-stuff-done attitude
- Teams that focus on creating wins - for the org, the team and yourself - all fuelled by mentorship and empowerment
Our Culture
Some values we’ve lived by over these last 14 years:
We think like inventors.
>Invent the answer you wish existed. If it already exists, ask how it could exist better.<
We build for the love of it. And we build the best.
We don’t just copy and paste. We start from first principles—frame the problem, question the default, ship, improve, repeat—until it’s world-class.
Every version and experiment is a chance to push past our comfort zone and hone our craft. It isn’t easy—it takes patience and persistence—but it ends in work we’re proud of.
Ownership builds a rocket ship.
>It’s not the hours you put in your work that count; it’s the work you put in the hours.<
We’re here to build the business. When we see a problem, we own it end‑to‑end. We pull in the right people, ask for help early, track just enough to finish, and close the loop. We focus on what moves the needle, cut low‑impact work, and push hard when it counts—then recover.
That focus builds subject mastery. It helps get in the flow. It fuels passion and can spark healthy friction—and that’s all part of the game. We make a fuss when it matters, and once a call is made, we commit to it fully—whether we all agree or disagree.
Step up to stand tall.
>Greatness is a moving target.<
Chase excellence in your craft and take on bigger problems. Grow into a full-stack problem-solver and leader—whatever your domain. Improve with intent, work with people who push you, and never get too comfortable. That’s how we level up.

About the Role
We are hiring a Backend Engineer to build and operate the services that power a leading technology marketplace being relaunched under new ownership.
You will work behind the GraphQL federation, inside the ~40 microservices that own billing, subscriptions, the catalog, RBAC, the proxy's control plane, and the Analytics/Quota services. The runtime is Node.js/TypeScript on AWS EKS, with Aurora MySQL / Postgres and DynamoDB for state, Redis / Elasticache / Couchbase for caching, Kafka (MSK) and Kinesis as the event backbone, and ClickHouse for real-time analytics reads. Every consumer-to-provider call passes through the proxy your services configure, and every dollar of marketplace revenue flows through the commerce code your services own.
Roles and Responsibilities
· Build and operate services — Design, ship, and run Node.js/TypeScript services that sit behind the GraphQL federation. Own a slice of the ~40-service estate end-to-end: API design, schema, persistence, tests, deployment, on-call.
· GraphQL federation subgraphs — Add types, resolvers, and capabilities to the federated Platform API. Keep subgraph boundaries clean; respect RBAC at the federation enforcement layer.
· Commerce backbone — Build the subscription, invoicing, overage, dispute, and payout flows that integrate with Stripe and PayPal webhooks and the billing state machine. Make sure metering, billing, and payouts stay accurate, auditable, and replayable.
· Proxy control plane — Build the management APIs and background workers that configure the runtime proxy: API keys, plans, rate-limit policies, quota caches, abuse signals.
· Event-driven systems — Produce and consume Kafka and Kinesis events safely: schema evolution, idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling. Operate Lambda consumers where they're the right tool.
· Data services — Help own the Node.js Analytics Service and Quota Service that front ClickHouse and Snowflake. Keep latency low, queries cheap, and authorisation correct.
· Performance and reliability — Diagnose hot paths, tune queries, add caches where they matter, and remove caches that have become liabilities. Write the SLOs and the alerts that defend them.
· Security isolation — Implement OAuth2 / JWT / mTLS where they belong; respect least-privilege; design APIs that fail closed.
· On-call and incident response — Take part in the rotation. Lead investigations across services when something rooted in your area breaks.
· LLM-assisted engineering — Use LLM-based coding and agentic tooling to evolve how features are designed, reviewed, and tested.
What Success Looks Like
• Services you own meet their SLOs, deploy multiple times a day, and rarely wake anyone up.
• Billing, subscription, overage, and payout flows you ship are accurate to the cent, replayable, and trusted by both providers and consumers.
• GraphQL subgraphs you maintain stay fast, well-typed, and pleasant to extend.
• Event pipelines you produce and consume are idempotent, observable, and survive replay and back-pressure.
• The first generation of agent-native primitives you help build land in production and start carrying real agent traffic.
What You Bring
• 5–8 years of backend engineering experience, with non-trivial work on production services that real customers depended on.
• Strong TypeScript / Node.js in a production service environment; comfort with async patterns, streams, and back-pressure.
• Solid API design — REST and GraphQL (ideally federation: Apollo Federation, Mercurius, or similar). Schema design, persisted queries, performance tuning.
• Production fluency with SQL — MySQL and/or Postgres. Bonus for Redis or ClickHouse.
• Experience with event-driven systems — Kafka or similar. You understand idempotency, exactly-once myths, and consumer lag.
• Hands-on AWS (EKS, MSK, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Lambda, DMS) and Kubernetes. Comfortable reading and writing Terraform.
• Modern engineering practice: observability, feature flags, CI/CD, and safe rollouts.
• Care for correctness on the money path — you have shipped billing, metering, or payment code before and have the scars to show for it.
• Bonus: experience with API gateways, rate limiting, quota enforcement, usage metering, agent protocols (MCP, A2A, x402), or LLM-based developer tooling.
• You write small, reviewable PRs. You add the test before you fix the bug. You would rather ship a smaller thing well than a bigger thing badly.
