You will design and write production code, guide backend engineers, strengthen reliability, and turn agreed product requirements into maintainable technical solutions. This is a technical leadership role, not a purely managerial or architecture-only position.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nBackend design and hands-on engineering\nDesign, develop and evolve services, REST APIs, data models and asynchronous workflows using Node.js, TypeScript and AWS.\nMake sound technical decisions on DynamoDB access patterns, relational data, indexing, caching and queue-based processing; document important trade-offs.\nBuild resilient integrations with external service providers, including timeout handling, retries, rate limits, idempotency and safe failure recovery.\nTransaction correctness and platform reliability\nOwn the technical integrity of reservation and payment workflows, including state transitions, duplicate prevention, callbacks/webhooks and recoverable failure scenarios.\nImplement controls and support operational reconciliation for transaction status, refunds and external-system mismatches; partner with the appropriate business and finance owners.\nDiagnose production issues using logs, metrics and traces; coordinate incident response, lead technical root-cause analysis and drive preventive fixes.\nSet and improve practical backend service objectives with engineering and DevOps, covering latency, errors, availability, capacity and cloud efficiency.\nTechnical delivery and team leadership\nTranslate approved requirements into implementation designs, estimates, technical tasks and dependencies; raise risks early and deliver to agreed engineering commitments.\nRemain actively involved in development, complex debugging, design reviews and code reviews; unblock engineers without becoming a single point of failure.\nMentor backend engineers, uphold clean code and secure engineering practices, and improve unit, integration and contract testing.\nWork closely with Product, TPM, Web/Mobile, QA and DevOps on API contracts, releases, incident prevention and end-to-end solution quality.\nOwn backend-level technical decisions; align material architectural or platform changes with the designated Engineering Leader / CTO.\nREQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITIES\nStrong recent production experience with Node.js and TypeScript, including personally designing and delivering complex backend services.\nUsually 8-12 years in backend engineering, including demonstrated technical leadership of engineers or critical services; proven ability matters more than tenure.\nPractical AWS experience, especially with relevant services such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, RDS and CloudWatch.\nGood command of NoSQL and SQL data modeling, query optimization, consistency, caching and event-driven design.\nExperience with external APIs and transaction-critical workflows; understands idempotency, observability, failure modes and data integrity.\nEvidence of production troubleshooting, code quality improvements, automated testing and safe deployments.\nClear technical communication, ownership of outcomes and the ability to make pragmatic decisions in a growing engineering team.\nGOOD TO HAVE\nExperience with reservation, availability, inventory, e-commerce, marketplace or payment processing systems.\nStripe, Redis, Datadog, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD automation or comparable tooling.\nExperience improving a live platform incrementally while preserving service continuity.\nWHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\nWithin the first 90 days, develop a working understanding of critical backend services, map key failure and performance risks, and deliver prioritized improvements with the team.\nEstablish meaningful service baselines, visible engineering-quality practices and clear technical ownership for important backend components.\nOver time, demonstrate measurable gains in transaction reliability, incident recurrence, API performance, code quality and predictable technical delivery.\nSELECTION PROCESS\nIntroductory discussion and experience review; practical backend system-design / debugging exercise; deep technical discussion and code review; leadership and collaboration interview. We focus on evidence of work personally owned and problems solved.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4803,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T06:06:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.859,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T04:48:20Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/invisia-backend-technical-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/invisia-backend-technical-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T04:48:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10403,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4470954},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4470954"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Finvisia-backend-technical-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Finvisia-backend-technical-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Finvisia-backend-technical-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/invisia-backend-technical-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Finvisia-backend-technical-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3909828}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"invisia.us","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3909828},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
