About Byldd:
Byldd is a Startup Studio that helps founders launch and scale software companies. We work closely with founders to refine ideas, identify core pain points, build scalable software products, acquire initial customers, and support growth.
At Byldd, engineers get the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects across industries like fintech, healthcare, AI, operations, and enterprise software. Since we work with multiple startups at different stages, the problems are rarely repetitive — one week you may be building an AI-assisted workflow tool, and the next you may be architecting a scalable SaaS platform.
Our engineering culture is strongly focused on ownership, fast execution, and leveraging modern development workflows — including AI-assisted development using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and other AI tooling to improve speed, quality, and problem-solving.
We primarily work with technologies such as React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and modern cloud infrastructure.
About the role:
We’re looking for experienced Full-Stack Engineers with a strong backend inclination to join us on core business projects.
Your role will involve understanding business requirements, product flows, and mockups. We’ll provide the “what” and the “why” behind the product decisions, and you’ll take ownership of translating them into scalable technical solutions.
While this is a full-stack role, the expectation is backend-heavy ownership — including system design, APIs, database architecture, integrations, scalability, and performance optimization. You’ll collaborate with founders and senior engineers to architect and build products end-to-end.
Since we move fast, we highly value engineers who can independently figure things out, use AI effectively in their workflows, and ship high-quality products with speed.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining strong backend engineering fundamentals with modern AI-assisted development practices.
What You’ll Do
- Build and ship scalable full-stack applications from scratch
- Design and develop robust backend systems, APIs, and database architectures
- Work closely with founders, designers, and product teams
- Architect systems with scalability, maintainability, and performance in mind
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to improve development speed and productivity
- Review, debug, and optimize production systems
- Think through edge cases, reliability, and long-term scalability
Who you are:
- You have 2+ years of non-internship experience as a full-stack developer with strong backend expertise
- You enjoy building products from 0 → 1
- You think beyond tasks and understand business objectives
- You are comfortable taking ownership and contribute towards making technical decisions
- You actively use or are excited to use AI tools in your engineering workflow
- You are strong in problem-solving and figuring things out independently
- You care deeply about writing clean, maintainable, scalable code
- You enjoy working in fast-paced startup environments
- You’re comfortable contributing across the stack while being particularly strong on the backend side
Preferred Tech Stack
(Experience in some or most of the following is preferred)
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- MongoDB
- Express.js
- React / Next.js
- REST APIs
- Cloud deployment & modern dev tooling
Experience with AI-assisted coding tools and workflows is a strong plus.

Job description
Join a small engineering team improving existing software and building new capabilities. You will own backend reliability, data correctness and asynchronous processing, and guide technical decisions across application and automation engineers.
This is a hands-on position involving production debugging, measured performance improvements, safe changes to existing code and release ownership. Company-provided AI coding tools support the work; you remain responsible for understanding and verifying what ships.
Responsibilities
- Develop and improve TypeScript/Node.js APIs and Rust services, including concurrency, failure handling and durable processing.
- Diagnose slow queries and API paths; improve schemas, indexes, caching and background jobs based on evidence.
- Define reliable service contracts, event identities, retries and reconciliation across connected components.
- Protect data access, credentials and permissions; plan migrations, staged releases and recovery.
- Review changes, document decisions and help engineers resolve technical blockers.
- Break work into tracked tasks with acceptance criteria, obtain the required approval and provide test/release evidence at completion.
Required skills and experience
- Substantial production Node.js/TypeScript experience and Rust experience you can explain through systems you personally changed or operated.
- Practical asynchronous Rust, ownership/error handling, network integration, persistence and debugging skills.
- Strong database fundamentals, including query analysis, transactions or consistency trade-offs, and safe migration practices.
- Experience with API authentication, automated tests, Git review, logging and controlled deployment.
- Clear written English for task plans, technical decisions, incident notes and constructive review discussions.
- Evidence of taking responsibility for a problem, responding to feedback and verifying the corrected result.
Experience with MCP/tool integrations, containerised services or performance profiling is useful. Depth in the core responsibilities matters more than a long list of frameworks.
How we work and hire
Work follows documented tasks, approval, implementation, review and verification. We value early escalation of blockers and honest reporting of results.
Selection includes a short AI-assisted initial interview, an approximately 60–90-minute practical using synthetic material, and an on-site technical discussion. Final hiring decisions include human review.
