Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js) – Infrastructure Team
Location: Fully Remote
Experience: Senior, 5+ years

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js) to join a small, focused infrastructure team inside an enterprise company. The team is building a new large-scale, AI-driven platform – designed for performance, security, and reliability from day one.

What You’ll Do


• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs
• Develop authentication, authorization, and token-based systems
• Implement high-performance data and caching layers (Redis, etc.)
• Ensure production-grade observability, stability, and scalability
• Collaborate with senior engineers across infrastructure and AI teams 

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend development in Node.js (Express / Fastify / Nest)
• Deep understanding of system design, distributed services, and scaling
• Solid experience with Redis (clustering, atomic ops, pub/sub)
• Hands-on experience with Keycloak or OpenID Connect
• Production experience with AWS (EC2, ElastiCache, IAM, CloudWatch) and Docker
• Proven ability to deliver secure, reliable, and maintainable backend code

Nice to Have

• Experience with TypeScript
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or Terraform
• Background in high-performance or GPU-based systems

Why you will like it here:

An enterprise company with a small, experienced team. The work focuses on building and maintaining backend infrastructure for AI-related systems, using modern technologies, clear engineering standards, and full ownership of your code.

Before you apply

  • Please upload your resume as a PDF and do not include any salary or compensation information in it.
