Design and manage deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling.
Improve system reliability, performance, and security in production environments.
Collaborate closely with product teams to ship features without compromising quality standards.
Drive AI-native development practices that enable rapid, high-quality releases.
What We're Looking For
1-6 years of backend development experience.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for building production backend services.
Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma in production-grade backends.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi to manage deployments.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with high ownership and low process.
