  • Mastery of architectural decision-making — evaluating technology trade-offs and applying best practices.
  • Experience with AI assistant tools such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, etc.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Node.js/NestJS, GraphQL (schema design, federation), and modern UI frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) including SSR/CSR.
  • Hands-on experience with auth frameworks (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWT) and API security patterns. Experience with microservices, event-driven architecture (Kafka), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and observability tooling.
  • Knowledge of data architecture — relational/NoSQL databases, caching (Redis), and data modeling at scale.
  • Understanding of regulatory compliance and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
  • Openness to leveraging emerging technologies, including AI, to enhance architectural solutions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
