Role Overview

This role requires close collaboration with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into practical solutions. The vast majority of your work will be backend - building and owning production-ready services in a high-load distributed system, but you will also pick up the front-end work, a feature needs to ship end-to-end.

Our problem statement is not straightforward, as we aim to achieve high-end results in all important technical aspects of our business:

• best availability,

• lowest latency in every micro-service,

• the most efficient resource usage.

If you're a product-passionate person, your mind is keen to solve deep tech engineering problems, you have a fast "PoC first" approach with a deep sense of ownership, and you're happy to reach into the UI when needed, we would love to hear from you.

Requirements:

• Solid backend experience with Node.js/TypeScriptStrong understanding of Async approaches

• Experience in writing e2e & unit tests

• Experience with the development of production-ready solutions

• Basic front-end ability: comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS, TypeScript, and common UI framework (React/Vue) — able to read existing UI code, make changes, and connect a UI to backend APIs

• A "whole feature" mindset — willingness to own delivery end-to-end, including the UI, rather than handing it off

Would be beneficial to know:

• Understanding of enterprise development patterns

• Experienced with large-scale microservices architecture

• Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc.)

• Experience with Kubernetes

• Active performance observation

• Understanding of application security and industry standards, its best practices

• A degree in Computer Science or related field
  

Scope of ownership:

• Backend: high-RPS collection and identification endpoints, a Redis-backed key-value store, Kafka producers, ClickHouse migrations

• Browser SDK: evolving signals and fighting regressions on Safari and iOS.

• Operations: observability (APM, RED signals, SLO alerts), GitOps delivery via Helm and ArgoCD.

• A "whole feature" mindset — willingness to own delivery end-to-end, including the UI, rather than handing it off

Benefits:

• Work on meaningful data products and shape them with your vision.

• 25 vacation days + 15 sick days + 1 birthday leave.

• Budget for English classes.

• Budget for health insurance.

• Annual education & development budget.

• Remote-friendly culture with a small, dedicated team.
