• Performance: Web Workers, OffscreenCanvas, lazy loading
• Unit tests: Jest

Back end

• Node.js 18+ (Fastify/Express)
• PostgreSQL with Prisma/TypeORM, indexing
• Redis (caching, queues)
• BullMQ for job processing
• Sharp.js for image processing
• REST API design and implementation

Infrastructure & DevOps

• Docker and CI/CD pipeline experience
• PostgreSQL or similar SQL database
• REST API design and implementation
• Strong DevOps knowledge - you're comfortable owning architecture decisions

Must-Haves

• React + TypeScript production experience
• Node.js backend at real scale
• AWS hands-on experience (not just certifications)
• Docker deployment experience
• Autonomous problem-solver who takes ownership

Nice-to-Have

• Photobook, print-on-demand, or design tool industry experience
• Built image processing pipelines (crop, resize, format conversion)
• Open-source contributions in React/Canvas ecosystem
• E-commerce platform development
• Payment integration (Stripe, PayPal)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Kubernetes)

Print/PDF Production (Critical Differeniator)

• PDF generation: LaTeX, Puppeteer, PDF-lib, or similar
• Print specifications: bleed, trim boxes, ICC profiles
• Command-line tools: ImageMagick, Ghostscript

Who You are

• Passionate - Genuinely excited about technology and always learning
• Scalability mindset - Design systems for 1M+ users from day one
• Ownership - You take features from conception through to production monitoring
• Autonomous - Minimal supervision, self-directed problem solving
• Clear communicator - Technical to non-technical conversations
• Pragmatic - Balance code quality with shipping velocity

Why Pixory

You'll join a fully remote, leanand fast-moving team building a product that's already generating significant revenue. This is a high-impact role where your decisions directly shape the platform's architecture and growth trajectory.

We prioritize real experience over years on a CV - a 3-year engineer with solid AWS and live production apps is more valuable to us than a 7-year developer who's never deployed beyond localhost.

We look forward to receiving your application!
