Skills
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience — ideally in SaaS, EdTech, or high-growth startup environments
- Strong in Node.js and comfortable building with frameworks and languages such as Express, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and other modern backend technologies
- Experience working with React and derivative frameworks, including React Native
- Built and scaled RESTful APIs (GraphQL a bonus) and know how to keep them clean, secure, and fast
- Worked across databases (Postgres, Redis, or NoSQL) and can design for scale, reliability, and performance
- Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure fine too) and can navigate Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform without blinking
- Build with a security-first mindset — you know your way around OAuth2/OIDC, role- and policy-based auth, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, FERPA)
- Touched CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry) — and you know they're not 'nice to have,' they're table stakes
- Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and you love the challenge of building 0→1
- Collaborator at heart — sharing knowledge, giving feedback, and celebrating wins with the team
- Bonus points if you've played with AI/ML integration (OpenAI, Hugging Face, vector search like FAISS/pgvector) or have a knack for developer productivity hacks using AI tools
