Job Summary

In this role, you will develop the Node.js backend of our applications, integrate AI solutions, and mentor a growing development team while ensuring the system's performance and security.

Job Technologies

Your role in the team

  • We are not looking for a code monkey doing assembly line work, but a real Product Engineer. Our tool already manages millions in ad budgets – which means your architecture must be rock-solid. At the same time, we operate at true startup speed: we ship quickly and iterate with an open heart.
  • As a Senior Developer with a focus on Node.js, you will not only develop our core product further but also help expand our existing Dev team. You have complete freedom to make your own tech decisions and a clear perspective to grow into the role of Head of Development / CTO with us. If you love translating business problems into elegant code, integrating smart AI solutions, and taking a team to the next level, then this is your new playground.
  • You won't receive pre-cooked 10-page specifications from us. Instead, you hear: "Many clients want to integrate Tool XY and view the data in a dashboard" - and you autonomously develop the perfect architectural solution based on that.
  • You balance startup speed with absolute reliability. When millions in budgets depend on our tool, there is no room for compromise on security and performance.
  • You take on a natural lead role, mentor our current developers, and establish coding standards that will scale us to the next level of growth.
  • You are the mastermind behind our Node.js backend, structuring databases and ensuring that the tool doesn't break a sweat even under massive data traffic.
  • You utilize modern AI technologies not only as a Dev tool for yourself but also integrate smart LLMs and AI workflows directly into our product to provide real value to customers.
  • You continuously evaluate our tech stack, audit legacy code where necessary, and decide which tools and frameworks make the most sense for our use cases.
  • You actively shape the processes within the development team, lead code reviews, and build an engineering culture we can be proud of.

Experience

  • You bring extensive, multi-year experience in backend development (Node.js) and know how to build scalable and secure web applications.
  • You know what 2026 is in the tech world. You have experience with integrating AI/LLMs and use modern tools to work more efficiently.
