• Write tests, monitor services, debug issues, and continuously improve performance and developer experience.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js (NestJS preferred).
• Hands-on experience with MongoDB and schema design for scalable systems.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL.
• Experience with message queues (RabbitMQ) and event-driven patterns.
• Understanding of data structures, scaling, performance optimization, and security best practices.
• High self-motivation and ability to work independently in a startup environment.
• Good English skills (written and spoken).
• Comfortable working remote (Europe) or in our Split office.
• Experience with AI automation platforms and LLM

Who This Role is Perfect For
