📋 Description

• Architect, refactor, and scale high-load distributed systems where failure is expensive and latency matters. • Lead by example - code when it counts, review relentlessly, debug production issues, and mentor through action, not meetings. • Tune performance until it screams: reduce latency, increase throughput, eliminate bottlenecks. • Make hard calls: architecture trade-offs, rewrites, tech debt prioritization - and own the consequences. • Work side-by-side with Product Owners and Solution Architect. No handoffs. No silos. One goal. • Jump into incidents, own RCA end-to-end, and make sure the same issue never happens twice. • Push a PoC-first mindset: test fast, fail smart, scale what proves value. • Build systems that survive growth, pressure, and time - resilient, observable, and clean.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of backend experience. You’ve built and operated real systems, not just shipped features. • Deep in Node.js / TypeScript. Comfortable with async flows, gRPC, Kafka, and distributed systems pain. • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS - you know how things break in production. • You can sketch a microservice architecture from memory - and explain where it will fail. • Obsessed with performance, observability, and efficiency. You measure before you argue. • You think like an engineer, decide like an architect, and act like an owner. • You’ve led engineers - not by title, but by competence, example and trust. • Bonus: experience with ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully remote. Work from anywhere in Europe. • Unlimited vacation + paid sick leave. We trust adults. • Quarterly bonuses. Real impact, real money. • Learning budget for courses, certifications. • Ownership and autonomy. You decide how to make things faster, cleaner, better. • No bureaucracy. No filler. Just meaningful engineering work.
