• Improve the reliability, security, and scalability of backend systems.
• Work with Product Owners, BAs, QA, and engineers to clarify requirements and deliver features end to end.
• Explain technical decisions, document key findings, and contribute to code reviews.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in backend software development.
• Strong hands-on experience with at least one of Node.js, Go, or Python .
• Experience designing APIs and working with relational or NoSQL databases.
• Strong problem-solving skills: able to investigate unfamiliar problems, identify root causes, compare options, and implement practical solutions.
• Ability to research new technologies independently and apply what you learn to product development.
• Comfortable working with evolving requirements and asking questions to clarify business needs.
• Understanding of authentication, authorization, security fundamentals, Git, and code review.

Nice to Have

• Experience building AI-powered applications or integrating LLM APIs.
• Experience with RAG, vector databases, search, or document processing.
• Experience with Docker, CI/CD, cloud services, message queues, or background jobs.
• Experience with SaaS, ERP, or enterprise software.
