Job Title

Backend Engineer (Node.js / TypeScript - Systems & Data Processing)We’re looking for backend engineers who care deeply about correctness, performance, and understanding systems at a fundamental level.This is not a typical CRUD or API-heavy role.You’ll work on a backend platform that processes complex, real-world data and filed - where inputs are messy, formats are imperfect, and edge cases are the norm, not the exception.If you enjoy taking problems apart, reading specifications, and building reliable systems that others depend on, you’ll feel at home here.What You’ll DoDesign and build TypeScript-first backend systems using Node.js.Work close to data: parsing, transforming, validating, and generating structured and semi-structured content.Build components that are performance-aware, memory-efficient, and scalable under real workloads.Handle incomplete, malformed, or inconsistent inputs where correctness matters.Debug issues that cross abstraction boundaries (data, libraries, runtime behavior).Build internal utilities, libraries, and tooling used by other engineers.Make pragmatic trade-offs between correctness, performance, and maintainability.Collaborate closely with engineering and product peers in a low-process, high-trust environment.Must-Have SkillsStrong proficiency in TypeScript (non-negotiable).Production experience with Node.js.Solid grasp of core programming fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and complexity trade-offs.Experience beyond simple request–response systems (e.g. processors, pipelines, tooling, libraries).Ability to reason about memory usage, performance, and long-running processes.Comfortable reading unfamiliar codebases, specs, or formats and figuring things out independently.Proven ability to debug subtle, edge-case-driven issues.2–4 years of professional software development experience.Nice to HaveExperience with document or file processing systems.Exposure to PDF processing (generation, extraction, validation, or inspection).Familiarity with formats like DOCX, XML, JSON, or similar structured data.Experience building libraries, SDKs, or internal frameworks.Comfort working with streams, buffers, encodings, and metadata.Background in domains where robustness > rapid feature delivery.Why You’ll Love Working With UsImpactful Work: You’ll build systems others rely on.Depth Over Buzzwords: We value thoughtful problem-solving over tech-chasing.No Red Tape: Lean team, minimal meetings, high ownership.Work–Life Balance: Flexible environment with space to recharge.
