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.

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.

Why This Role Matters

Our backend is what keeps checkout, RTO, and payments fast and reliable at ~$2B GMV across 15,000+ merchants. As an SDE 2 you own services end to end, make the architecture calls that keep them performant, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you. The trade-offs you pick show up directly in merchant conversions and platform reliability - this is a builder's seat with real ownership.

What You'll Own

• Design and build backend services primarily in Node.js/NestJS, with Go for select services, backed by Postgres, Mongo, and Redis.
• Own event-driven flows on Kafka - throughput, ordering, and failure handling.
• Make and document the architecture and trade-off decisions for systems you lead.
• Ship features end to end, dropping into the frontend (React/Svelte) when it's the fastest path.
• Strengthen CI/CD, observability, and deployments on AWS.
• Review code, mentor SDE 1s and AEs, and raise the quality bar on the team.
• Take ambiguous problems and drive them to delivery with minimal hand-holding.

Who You Are

• Strong backend engineer in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js/NestJS (our primary stack); working knowledge of Go, or ready to pick it up.
• Solid at data modelling across Postgres and Mongo, and knows when Redis earns its place.
• Has built and scaled event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent).
• At home on the backend but happy to work across the stack in React/Svelte.
• Thinks in systems - scalability, reliability, maintainability - not just features.
• Has mentored engineers and owns code quality and delivery, not just their own tickets.
• Communicates clearly and does well with ambiguity in a fast-moving team.
