About the role
Hiring a senior backend engineer to join our team and focus on system architecture our most popular products.
Things you'll be working on
Architecting and implementing backend systems in Typescript/Node is the core of what you’ll be doing. Real examples include —
Designing and building an ingestion pipeline for our analytics/insights products (> 99.99% uptime on Kafka, Clickhouse, Redis)
Spiking on our CI/CD to improve stability

Mentoring junior engineers on best-practices
Looking for someone who
Can be in office 3-4 days/week in San Francisco

Down to do full-stack work (including frontend even if it's not your main role)
Is ALWAYS SHIPPING. We don't spend weeks planning features at Replo
Has 4+ years of professional experience with production distributed systems, service oriented architecture
Proficient in Typescript. If you have experience writing these systems in Python/Go/Java that’s cool too, as long as you’re willing to learn Typescript/Node — the learning curve on writing TS isn’t that high for high-caliber engineers. Experience or working knowledge of React is great too, but we can teach you that if we need to
Has a product and customer-focused mindset
Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a a strong opinion on how backend systems should be built, that’s good
Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we’re the ones that have to read it and understand it)
Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points
Bonus points if you
Have started a company before
Enjoy attending hackathons
Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously
Have not wasted hours interview-prepping on Leetcode
Have an eye for visual design (or past experience in product design, Figma, etc)
