This role requires close collaboration with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical solutions.

Role Overview

This role requires close collaboration with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical solutions. The vast majority of your work will be backend - building and owning production-ready services in a high-load distributed system, but you will also pick up the front-end work, a feature needs to ship end-to-end.

Our problem statement is not straightforward, as we aim to achieve high-end results in all important technical aspects of our business:

• Best availability
• Lowest latency in every micro-service
• The most efficient resource usage

If you're a product-passionate person, your mind is keen to solve deep tech engineering problems, you have a fast "PoC first" approach with a deep sense of ownership, and you're happy to reach into the UI when needed, we would love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Backend: high-RPS collection and identification endpoints, a Redis-backed key-value store, Kafka producers, ClickHouse migrations
• Browser SDK: evolving signals and fighting regressions on Safari and iOS.
• Operations: observability (APM, RED signals, SLO alerts), GitOps delivery via Helm and ArgoCD.
• A "whole feature" mindset - willingness to own delivery end-to-end, including the UI, rather than handing it off

Requirements

• Solid backend experience with Node.js/TypeScript
• Strong understanding of Async approaches
• Experience with Messaging systems like Kafka, RabbitMQ
• Experience in distributed systems
• Experience with RDBMs (MySQL, PostgreSQL), CDBMs (Redshift, ClickHouse), NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB)
• Experience in writing e2e & unit tests
• Experience with the development of production-ready solutions
• Basic front-end ability: comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS, TypeScript, and common UI framework (React/Vue) - able to read existing UI code, make changes, and connect a UI to backend APIs
• A "whole feature" mindset - willingness to own delivery end-to-end, including the UI, rather than handing it off

Nice to Have

• Understanding of enterprise development patterns
• Experienced with large-scale microservices architecture
• Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc.)
• Experience with Kubernetes
• Active performance observation
• Understanding of application security and industry standards, its best practices
• A degree in Computer Science or related field

We Offer

• Work on meaningful data products and shape them with your vision.
• 25 vacation days + 15 sick days + 1 birthday leave.
• Budget for English classes.
• Budget for health insurance.
• Annual education & development budget.
• Remote-friendly culture with a small, dedicated team.
