Senior Backend Engineer — Automation

The Role
You’ll build and maintain the backend services behind our automations. What sets this role apart is how you work: we expect you to ship fast and efficiently by driving AI coding tools rather than hand-writing everything. You frame the problem, point the model at the right inputs and context, own the plan, and run a rigorous final code review. The AI writes most of the code — you’re the engineer who makes sure it’s correct, fast, and production-ready.
We’re looking for someone genuinely strong with modern AI tooling — treating it as a core part of the workflow, not a side experiment — including a solid AI harness with strong automated code validation and verification built in.

Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain backend microservices for process automation
Deliver features fast using AI coding agents: scope the task, prepare inputs/context, define the plan, and review the output critically
Investigate and reverse-engineer the behaviour of private/third-party APIs
Integrate automations across the platforms and keep them reliable in production
Optimize systems for performance, scalability, and reliability
Collaborate with the team on architecture and technical decisions.

Required Expertise
Solid engineering judgment: able to read, review, and correct AI-generated code and catch subtle bugs
Strong Node.js / TypeScript backend background for scalable, high-load systems
Microservices design with high availability and fault tolerance
Experience with time-series/PostgreSQL workloads (TimescaleDB)
Event bus and message queue familiarity (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
Cloud platform knowledge (AWS, GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
Problem-solving mindset for high-traffic systems
Strong, hands-on AI-assisted development skills — daily use of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to write and ship code efficiently
A robust AI harness with strong code validation/verification, so AI-generated changes are automatically checked before they land.

Requirements
5+ years of backend engineering experience (Senior level)
Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript proficiency
Proven experience shipping code with AI coding tools
Ukrainian language: native speaker level
Full-time, fully remote position
Global candidates considered

Benefits
20 vacation days + 10 sick days
