• Understanding asynchronous programming, error handling, and external API integrations.
• Experience implementing authentication, authorization, and secure handling of user data and credentials.
• Ability to write useful automated tests and troubleshoot production issues.
• Clear communication and the ability to turn product requirements into working backend features.

Responsabilités

• Build and maintain backend services and REST APIs using TypeScript and Node.js.
• Implement product features, including authentication, permissions, organizations, projects, and API key management.
• Work with frontend engineers to define clear API contracts and handle loading, errors, and edge cases.
• Deliver features through implementation, testing, release, and follow-up improvements.
• Design PostgreSQL schemas, write migrations, and improve queries where needed.
• Integrate usage reporting, billing, and external services.
• Build background jobs and handle retries, duplicate events, and failed requests safely.

Description du poste

About Aleroy

Aleroy is building a unified platform for high-performance AI inference, making it easier for companies to deploy and run AI models at scale.
Through a single API, Aleroy provides access to ready-to-use and custom AI models across cloud infrastructure, dedicated capacity, and customers' own hardware. Our platform optimizes performance, cost, and deployment flexibility while giving enterprises control over where and how their AI workloads run.
We work in small teams, collaborate directly, and focus on solving complex engineering challenges to build reliable, scalable AI infrastructure.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to build the APIs and services behind our AI platform.
You’ll work primarily with TypeScript and Node.js on features such as accounts, organizations, access management, API keys, usage, and billing. You’ll collaborate with product, frontend, and infrastructure engineers to take features from requirements to production. We value practical engineering: clear code, reliable behavior, and sensible technical decisions. Experience with Go is strongly encouraged. Previous work in AI or LLM inference is welcome but not required.

Reliability and quality

• Write automated tests for important workflows and failure cases.

• Diagnose issues using logs and metrics, and fix their underlying causes.

• Keep code readable, document key decisions, and contribute to code reviews.

• Work with infrastructure and inference engineers to connect product services with model-serving systems.
