The posting

A high-growth startup company is looking for an agile, fast-learning Backend Engineer with 1–2 years of experience who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment and is eager to build reliable backend services while growing within the team. You'll work closely with senior engineers, product managers, and frontend teams to develop APIs, support and maintain existing applications and internal tools, adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and contribute to scalable backend solutions that power our products.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs under guidance from senior engineers, adapting quickly as requirements evolve.
  • Support, maintain, and improve existing applications and internal tools — fixing bugs, addressing tech debt, and keeping things running smoothly as the product evolves.
  • Build and maintain internal tools that help other teams (ops, support, product) work more efficiently.
  • Implement business logic and integrations that support product features, often under tight timelines.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following established backend standards.
  • Collaborate with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers — adjusting quickly to new information and shifting priorities.
  • Assist in optimizing system performance, reliability, and security across both new and existing systems.
  • Participate actively in sprint planning, stand-ups, and code reviews, bringing energy and flexibility to the team's iterative process.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and basic monitoring activities.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve backend issues quickly and calmly, in both development and production environments — including legacy code you didn't originally write.
  • Respond to ad hoc requests for fixes, enhancements, or support on existing systems as business needs arise.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 1–2 years of experience in backend development, ideally in a startup or fast-iteration environment.
  • Good proficiency in Node.js / JavaScript for backend services.
  • Experience building and consuming APIs (REST).
  • Comfortable working within and maintaining existing codebases, not just building from scratch.
  • Basic understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) and data modeling concepts.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) is a plus.
  • Basic experience with Git and modern development workflows.
  • Strong working knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies, with genuine comfort handling changing requirements and rapid iteration.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset, adaptability, and willingness to learn quickly.
  • Good communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, fast-moving team environment.

Benefits

Guiding Principles & Values:

  • Data-Driven, Tech First
  • Committed to Exceptional Experience
  • Holistic Ownership
  • Challenging the Status Quo
  • Together for Growth
  • No Finish Line

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.
