Stellenbeschreibung
Intro Are you a builder at heart who loves solving complex technical problems and shaping scalable systems? Join our stealth-mode AI startup where you'll have high ownership and the ability to make meaningful decisions that directly impact our product and technical direction. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack) to play a pivotal role in building reliable backend services, optimizing databases, and shaping architectural decisions. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love collaborating with fellow senior engineers, and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code, we'd love to meet you. Tasks What You'll Do Build & Scale Backends: Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Model & Optimize Databases: Create efficient schemas to support current needs while planning for future scale. Shape Architecture: Collaborate with other senior engineers and the CTO to refine system design and ensure smooth integration between backend, frontend, and infrastructure. Validate Infrastructure: Partner with our DevOps team to review and validate AWS configurations, deployments, and security practices. Enhance CI/CD: Ensure robust, automated pipelines for reliable deployments and rapid iteration. Maintain Quality: Write clean, testable, and scalable code and participate in code reviews to uphold engineering best practices. Mentor & Share Knowledge: Support junior engineers through guidance, debugging help, and sharing best practices. Leverage AI Thoughtfully : Use AI tools strategically to enhance productivity and code quality, with a clear understanding of when and how to apply them effectively—we don't "vibe code," we use AI to make our work better. What Success Looks Like High-quality, performant backend code shipped consistently with significant ownership of features and technical decisions. Reliable integrations across backend, frontend, and infrastructure. Valuable contributions to architecture and database design discussions. CI/CD pipelines running smoothly with minimal downtime. Positive peer feedback on collaboration and technical leadership. Thoughtful application of AI tools that demonstrably improves development velocity and code quality. Requirements Must-Haves Strong skills in Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Experience building and maintaining REST APIs or microservices. Familiarity with AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, etc.). Solid understanding of CI/CD workflows and Git-based development. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment with high autonomy. AI-first mindset: Comfortable using AI tools strategically while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals. Nice-to-Haves Experience with NestJS or similar backend frameworks. Exposure to frontend frameworks like Angular. Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation). Performance tuning and security optimization experience.Previous experience in AI/ML startups or working with AI-powered products. Tools & Technologies Core Stack: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions (or similar CI/CD) Version Control: Git Frontend (optional): AngularAI Tools: Integrated strategically throughout our development workflow Benefits Why You'll Love Working Here High Ownership & Impact: Make meaningful technical decisions and see your code power critical features from day one. Stealth-Mode Innovation: Help build something groundbreaking in the AI space with the freedom to shape both product and architecture. Cutting-Edge Stack: Modern tools, AI-first culture, and continuous learning opportunities. Collaborative Environment: Work directly with other senior engineers, the CTO, and cross-functional teams who love solving complex problems together. Strategic AI Integration: Be part of a team that uses AI thoughtfully to enhance engineering productivity, not as a replacement for solid engineering practices. Closing Ready to Shape the Future of AI? Join us in building a product—and a codebase—that can scale to the next level. You'll have the ownership, autonomy, and technical challenges that make this role truly rewarding.Apply now and help us build something extraordinary.
