Remote UTC-1 to UTC+2 (Europe) Engineering Full-time

About the Role

Be part of our founding team as a Backend / Dev-Tooling Engineer (Node.js). Build developer tools and CLIs, evolve our NestJS backend, and take ownership of features from idea to production on Kubernetes. You’ll work directly with the founders to set the technical direction and scale fast.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and operate Node.js microservices (NestJS) in a distributed architecture
Implement event-driven workflows using Kafka as the transport layer
Own features end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support
Deploy and run services on Kubernetes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Instrument services with OpenTelemetry (OTel) and ship metrics to measure feature impact
Build developer tooling such as CLIs or IDE extensions to seamlessly integrate into development workflows
Develop integrations with third-party tools (e.g., Jira) and other enterprise systems
Collaborate closely with the founding team in architecture sessions and technical decision-making (reporting to the CTO)
Maintain high standards for code quality, performance, reliability, and security

Requirements

5+ years building and running Node.js/TypeScript backend services in production
You can design, implement, and operate microservices end-to-end (from architecture to on-call level ownership)
You’ve worked with event-driven systems (Kafka preferred) and understand reliability patterns (retries, idempotency, DLQs)
Strong PostgreSQL fundamentals and a pragmatic approach to performance and schema design
You enjoy the DevOps side: CI/CD, containerized workflows, and shipping to Kubernetes with confidence
You write maintainable code, communicate clearly, and collaborate well in a small, fast-moving team

Nice to Have

Developer tooling experience (CLIs, VS Code extensions, internal DX improvements)
IaC and cloud experience (Terraform/Pulumi/Helm; AWS/Azure/GCP)
Experience building integrations with tools like Jira and other enterprise systems
