Our client is a fast-growing SaaS company that has scaled from zero to eight-figure revenue in under two years — backed by top-tier investors and led by experienced repeat founders. They’re on a mission to modernize how businesses communicate at scale, building next-generation messaging infrastructure capable of handling billions of events monthly.

  • Develop robust, high-performance APIs and distributed systems handling billions of requests per month.
  • Partner closely with product and leadership to shape architecture, tooling, and technical direction.
  • Ship quickly and iterate fast while maintaining exceptional reliability and scalability standards.
  • Work across modern cloud infrastructure (AWS) and data-intensive architectures to drive measurable impact.

Ideal Candidate Background

  • 4+ years of backend software engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment.
  • Deep expertise with Node.js and TypeScript , with strong system design and scalability instincts.
  • Solid understanding of AWS services (e.g., SQS, EC2, S3, DynamoDB).
  • Experience building distributed systems and event-driven architectures at scale.
  • Strong sense of ownership, product intuition, and eagerness to work in a lean, high-velocity environment.
  • Preferred

  • Familiarity with React.js or other modern front-end frameworks.
  • Exposure to AI or data intelligence systems (e.g., ChatGPT, LLM integrations).
  • Experience contributing to early-stage product development or 0→1 systems.
  • Background at top-tier tech companies or well-funded startups.
  • Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary of $250K–$350K , commensurate with experience.
  • Meaningful equity ownership in a high-growth venture-backed company.
  • Fully remote role open to candidates across the U.S. and Canada.
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits package.
  • Fast-paced, collaborative environment with opportunities for rapid career advancement.
  • Why Join

  • High-growth rocket ship : The company has achieved explosive revenue growth in less than two years and is scaling aggressively.
  • Massive technical scale : Build infrastructure that supports billions of transactions monthly.
  • Elite team : Join a small, world-class group of engineers shipping fast and owning real product outcomes.
  • Impact and ownership : Every engineer here has direct influence on architecture, performance, and product success.
