We combine advanced AI, real-world data from billions of sleep hours, and clinical expertise to deliver the clarity and confidence every parent deserves. Trusted by over one million families and backed by $125M in funding, we're building an entirely new category: predictive parenting intelligence.\nHere, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.\nYou'll be the founding backend engineer on a new Growth team - a cross-functional squad owning the full customer funnel, from a parent first considering Nanit through purchase, subscription, engagement, and eventually referring to us or buying again. You'll also be the first R&D engineer based at our US site, hybrid, with your manager and the rest of the team in a different time zone - so you'll need to hold context, make decisions, unblock yourself, and know when a question is worth raising rather than waiting on a sync. Your closest day-to-day partners will be mobile engineers and product managers\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nOwn the backend behind growth bets. Build and ship the services powering paywalls, subscription tiering, onboarding journeys, in-app messaging, referral mechanics, trial models, and checkout bundling.\nMake growth measurable. Build and extend the experimentation and instrumentation layer - feature flags, experiment assignment, event tracking - so every bet the team makes can be evaluated on real data rather than opinion.\nWork end to end across the funnel. Move between acquisition, activation, and retention work as the roadmap demands, rather than owning a single narrow surface.\nPartner tightly with mobile and product. Most of what you build is consumed by our iOS and Android apps. You'll design API contracts in conversation with the engineers using them and with the PMs shaping the experiments.\nOperate with high agency. Take ambiguous problems, decide on an approach, communicate it clearly in writing, and ship. Escalate deliberately, not by default.\nSet the pattern for US engineering at Nanit. How you work - documentation, async communication, on-call, review habits - becomes the template for everyone who follows.\nAnchor on-call coverage in your time zone. Be first responder for production alerts during your working hours, extending the backend group toward true follow-the-sun coverage. Triage, mitigate, escalate what you can't, and hand off open threads in writing.\nContribute to the backend guild. Help drive best practices, guidelines, and standards across R&D, and keep the US perspective represented in them.\nQualifications\nProfessional Experience: 5+ years of backend software development with strong coding skills and solid experience in software design and architecture.\nProven Autonomy: Demonstrated success working with significant independence - ideally in a distributed team with limited timezone overlap with your manager or peers.\nWritten Communication: Excellent asynchronous communication. You write clearly enough that decisions and context survive without a meeting.\nProduct Mindset: Comfort with ambiguity and with shipping to learn. You care about the outcome metric, not only the ticket.\nHigh-Scale Systems: Experience with critical production systems and techniques like load balancing, caching, and distributed systems.\n Web Services: Proficiency designing and maintaining APIs consumed by mobile clients (REST, gRPC, WebSocket).\n Experimentation and Analytics: Hands-on experience with A/B testing infrastructure, feature flags, and event instrumentation (e.g., Unleash, Mixpanel).\nTesting: Solid experience in testing methodologies and test automation frameworks.\nMonitoring and Observability: Proficient with tools like Grafana and Prometheus.\nDelivery Track Record: Proven experience delivering backend projects successfully.\nAgile Familiarity: Knowledge of Agile methodologies.\nContainers and Orchestration: Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes is an advantage.\nPreferred Skills\nExperience with consumer subscription products - billing, plan tiering, App Store and Google Play in-app purchases, or Stripe.\nPrior work on a growth, monetization, or lifecycle team.\nAbility to independently take a concept from research to production.\nEnthusiasm for new technologies and willingness to explore them.\nCommitment to well-crafted and rigorously tested code.\nWillingness to travel to Tel Aviv for onboarding and periodically thereafter.\nWhy You’ll Love Working Here:\nHybrid in-office schedule \nRemote work from home month in August \nFlexible PTO (we trust you to take the time you need)\nEquity options so you can share in our growth\nPaid parental leave for all new parents\nEmployee discounts on Nanit products\nWork from home stipend\nMonthly team events\nWhat We Offer\nWe provide an innovative and inclusive work environment, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth. We believe in productivity rather than hours on the clock and value collaboration and innovative thinking. We take pride in our customer satisfaction and believe that our success comes from delivering exceptional value to our customers.\nEEO, Salary and Location: \nThis is a hybrid role that will require prospective candidates to be in our NYC office 2-3 days per week.\nSalary Range: $180K to $200K base salary + equity and benefits. The base pay is one component of Nanit's total compensation package, which may also include access to healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, and basic life insurance. Ultimately, in determining your pay, we'll consider your location, experience, and other job-related factors.\nWe are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We provide employment opportunities without regard to age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected class.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6164,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity","Life insurance","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Home Devices","Baby Products"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-30T16:03:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.699,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":68,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T10:18:30Z","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":7297,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"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":63543},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63543"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us"},{"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%2Fnanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us"},{"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%2Fnanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us"},{"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/nanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnanit-senior-backend-engineer-growth-us"}]}
