Who you are
  • An experienced engineer with 3+ years in the field, including 2+ years building and maintaining production systems in TypeScript and Node.js.
  • A technical leader with at least a year of experience guiding projects or mentoring teammates.
  • Someone who holds a high bar for code quality, testing, and operational reliability.
  • Comfortable using AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT to move faster and ship better code.
Even better if you have
  • Run temporal in production, and worked with Nest.js to build reliable, scalable services.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or similar cloud infrastructure, and familiarity with enterprise integration patterns and ATS platforms.
  • Built internal tooling or automation powered by AI/LLMs to reduce manual effort and improve developer productivity.
You’ll thrive in this role if
  • Designing complex systems excites you, and you deliver impact with every commit.
  • Operational excellence and reliability are principles you care deeply about.
  • Collaboration is second nature, you’ve worked across teams to drive meaningful outcomes.
  • You hold yourself and others to a high bar of engineering excellence.
Compensation

The base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $160,000, plus a target 10% annual bonus tied to individual and company performance. You will also receive equity (stock options) and a comprehensive package of cash and non-cash benefits.
