You'll work closely with three cross-functional development teams – shaping the backend architecture, driving engineering standards, and making sure we're building for scale, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Responsibilities
Own the backend architecture across all product domains – define patterns, set standards, and ensure consistency across teams.
Lead architectural decisions from ideation through implementation, including design reviews and hands-on involvement when it matters.
Be the go-to technical authority for backend engineers across three teams.
Identify technical debt, scalability risks, and performance bottlenecks – and drive the roadmap to address them.
Partner with team leads to elevate engineering practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD etc.
Collaborate with product and R&D leadership to align technical strategy with business goals.
8+ years of backend development experience, with at least 2-3 years in an architecture or principal engineer role.
Deep expertise in Node.js and NestJS.
Excellent communication skills – you can explain a complex architectural decision to an engineer and to a PM alike.
High ownership mentality – you see a problem, you drive it to resolution.
