Tools and Technologies We Embrace

Languages and Data Solutions

• Core stack: Node.js, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
• Storage options: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis for fast-access data needs
• Interfaces: REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, and WebSocket-based real-time communication

Dev Infrastructure and Automation

• Deployment frameworks: Docker and Kubernetes for container management
• Cloud environments: AWS Lambda and other serverless options
• CI/CD practices: Streamlined workflows using GitHub Actions
• Observability stack: Monitored with Datadog, Prometheus, or New Relic for performance tracking

We continuously refine our toolset to stay lean, efficient, and developer-friendly.

Work Environment

A Remote Setup That Works for You

• 100% work-from-anywhere: From a cabin in the woods to your city loft, it’s your call
• Set your hours: Work when you're most focused and effective
• Use your preferred operating systems, IDEs, and accessories—whatever keeps you in flow

A Team You Can Count On

• Few meetings, more momentum: Deep work is respected and protected
• Creativity thrives: New concepts and unconventional approaches are always welcome
• You’ll be surrounded by team members who encourage, not compete
• Mental wellness and flexibility are part of our foundation, not afterthoughts

Qualifications and Soft Skills

Technical Strengths

• At least 3 years of real-world experience building backend services using Node.js
• Familiarity with asynchronous code, streams, and integration with external APIs
• Comfortable with Git-based workflows and agile tracking tools
• Practical understanding of engineering best practices, from DRY code to modular design
• Confidently deploying applications across cloud environments like AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Helpful but not required: Experience tuning queries or managing large NoSQL databases

Communication and Collaboration

• Skilled in remote communication—whether it’s async updates or video calls
• Always curious, always learning—especially in the face of new challenges
• Works independently without needing constant check-ins, yet always ready to engage
• Bonus: Prior experience mentoring or supporting cross-team engineering practices

The Creative Mindset We’re After

We want thinkers, not task-doers. The ideal candidate sees a messy spec and finds potential, not just bugs to fix. You’re not intimidated by the unknown; you’re intrigued by it. Whether it’s launching a personal open-source tool or refactoring a legacy system into something elegant, you believe backend code can be beautiful, efficient, and impactful.

You build solutions with empathy—for users, for teammates, and for the next developer who reads your code. You believe technical work is creative work, and you thrive when given both autonomy and support.

Growth Opportunities

When You’re Ready, Step Up

• Take ownership of pivotal backend projects and influence key design decisions.
• Support the growth of junior developers through knowledge sharing and collaborative work.
• Be a technical voice in high-impact product discussions and long-term planning.

Scale Your Career Your Way

• Cross-skill into adjacent areas like DevOps, data pipelines, or systems architecture
• Whether you aim for leadership or specialist roles, we’ll help carve your path.
• Create your ideal balance of depth and breadth across technologies and disciplines.
