• Backend, APIs & Data Systems
  • Build backend services using Node.js and modern TypeScript-based frameworks
  • Design and maintain RESTful APIs and distributed system integrations
  • Contribute to relational data modelling, schema design, and query optimisation
  • Work with PostgreSQL and comparable relational database technologies
  • Improve backend maintainability, scalability, and reliability as platform requirements evolve
• Frontend Engineering & Internal Tooling
  • Develop internal interfaces using React or comparable frontend frameworks
  • Build workflows that improve operational efficiency and usability for internal teams
  • Apply strong frontend engineering principles across performance, maintainability, and component design
  • Contribute to internal developer platforms, operational tooling, and workflow automation where relevant
  • Ensure frontend systems integrate reliably with backend services and internal data sources
• Platform Reliability & Engineering Quality
  • Improve platform observability, reliability, and developer experience
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and continuous engineering improvement
  • Debug and resolve production issues while improving long-term operational resilience
  • Make pragmatic trade-offs between development speed, scalability, and maintainability
  • Support monitoring, deployment, and infrastructure practices that improve platform stability

Qualifications

• Experience building or contributing to production full-stack systems through professional work, internships, or substantial projects
• Strong TypeScript fundamentals across frontend, backend, or both
• Familiarity with backend development using Node.js, with NestJS experience advantageous
• Experience building user interfaces with React or comparable frontend frameworks
• Strong understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL and core data-modelling principles
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs and distributed system communication patterns
• Exposure to AWS or another major cloud platform
• Awareness of modern architectural approaches including microservices, serverless systems, or event-driven architectures
• Strong problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and ownership mindset
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous and fast-moving technical environments
• Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, or DevOps workflows is advantageous
• Experience building internal developer platforms, operational tooling, or workflow automation systems is beneficial
• Exposure to AI-adjacent, data-heavy, or machine-learning-powered products is advantageous
• Experience within startup, research, lab, or high-growth engineering environments is beneficial
• Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and platform-reliability best practices is strongly valued

Engagement Details

• Full-time engagement
• Fully remote
• Compensation: $200,000–$280,000/year
• Work will span full-stack engineering, internal platform development, backend services, React interfaces, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure
• Responsibilities will include production-system development, reliability, data modelling, and internal workflow optimisation
• Collaboration will involve product, operations, design, and other engineering stakeholders
• Technical priorities, platform requirements, and internal workflows may evolve as organisational needs develop
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
