About the role: We're looking for a Middle Node.js Backend Developer to join the backend team. You'll be building the infrastructure that powers revenue and growth — from web billing integrations with payment providers to server-side marketing pipelines that fuel acquisition. If you thrive in high-load, product-driven environments where your code ships to real users and directly impacts the bottom line, this role was made for you.

In this role, you will

Develop and ship web billing integrations: payment providers, subscriptions, recurring billing, webhook handling (idempotency, retries, reconciliation)

Develop and ship marketing integrations: attribution platforms, server-side conversion/events APIs, analytics and CRM/ESP pipelines

Create technical designs for product epics and decompose them into actionable tasks

Participate in team processes: grooming, sprint planning, estimations

Run investigations and tech research (3rd-party API limits, provider selection, edge cases)

Address tech debt and improve reliability and observability of integrations

Take part in the full SDLC: design, dev, code review, testing, release, support

It's all about you

3+ years of commercial backend development experience

2.5+ years with Node.js (TypeScript)

Solid experience with relational and non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)

Experience with SOA/microservices: inter-service communication and dev process

Strong fundamentals in design principles and patterns (SOLID, event-driven)

Experience integrating third-party REST APIs: auth, rate limits, retries, webhooks, idempotency

Experience with async processing / message queues (BullMQ, RabbitMQ or Kafka)

Experience with a cloud provider (AWS / GCP)

Understanding of scaling and high-load systems

Daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) for development, refactoring, tests, and documentation

Ability to write effective prompts and review/validate AI-generated code — quality and security ownership stays with you

Upper-Intermediate English or higher

Would be a plus

Hands-on web billing / payment integrations (Stripe, Paddle, Solidgate, Recurly, Braintree, PayPal) and subscription/recurring-billing logic

Payments domain knowledge: 3DS, PCI-DSS basics, chargebacks/fraud, dunning, reconciliation

Marketing/growth integrations: AppsFlyer/Adjust, Meta CAPI, Google/TikTok events APIs, S2S postbacks

Experience with analytics/event pipelines and CRM/ESP tools

DDD / CQRS, WebSockets (ws, socket.io)

Understanding of how to integrate LLM APIs into product features
