• Architect and implement scalable, type-safe APIs and services using both Node.js and Golang
• Build and maintain high-performance backend services in Golang for scalable and distributed systems
• Design, build, and maintain Agentic AI development
• Contribute to and champion best practices within a monorepo codebase (Nx, Turborepo, or similar)
• Collaborate with product, design, and platform teams to deliver high-quality features end to end
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and mentoring of junior engineers
• Improve developer experience through tooling, automation, and CI/CD pipeline enhancements
• Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP, AWS, or Azure to deploy and operate production services

What We're Looking For

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript across both front-end and back-end
• Prior experience with .NET (C#) or Java in an enterprise setting
• Solid experience with React or Angular (experience with both is a plus)
• Strong backend experience with both Node.js and Golang, including building scalable services and APIs
• Experience designing and building services in Golang (REST/GraphQL APIs, concurrency patterns, performance optimization)
• Hands-on experience with Node.js frameworks such as NestJS, Fastify, or similar
• Hands-on experience with agentic AI development workflows, including spec-driven development, agent-assisted coding, testing, debugging, and code review using tools such as OpenAI Codex or similar AI coding agents.
• Proven experience working in a monorepo environment (Nx, Turborepo, Lerna, or similar)
• Strong programming fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and problem-solving
• Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and RESTful/GraphQL API design
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure), including CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure basics
• Comfortable working with Git, pull request workflows, and modern development tooling

Nice-to-Have
