Descripción del empleo

We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer with experience in scalable architectures, API development, and cloud-based services to join a team building a technology platform for an adventure travel and outdoor community.

The platform is already in production with real users and supports both web and iOS applications through a multi‑tenant architecture, third‑party integrations, data enrichment processes, partner data exports, and Machine Learning pipelines.

This role requires a highly autonomous, results‑driven professional who can own the full software development lifecycle: analyzing requirements, designing solutions, developing features, deploying to production, validating results, and ensuring platform stability.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend APIs and services within a multi‑tenant architecture, ensuring strict tenant data isolation and security.
• Develop new features using TypeScript and serverless architectures.
• Design and optimize PostgreSQL databases, including data modeling, migrations, and Row‑Level Security (RLS) policies.
• Build and maintain integrations with third‑party services and APIs, including authentication, webhooks, idempotent processes, and data reconciliation.
• Collaborate directly with external vendors to troubleshoot issues and implement new integrations.
• Design and maintain secure APIs and processes for data exchange with business partners.
• Ensure the secure handling of sensitive information and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
• Optimize and maintain Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and ensure consistency and stability across development, staging, and production environments.
• Support the integration of Machine Learning models with backend services and mobile applications.
• Participate in model versioning and training environment management processes.
• Lead infrastructure and service migrations (including email, DNS, and related services) while ensuring business continuity.
• Apply software quality best practices, automated testing, and release validation before every production deployment.
• Actively contribute to technical decisions related to architecture, scalability, performance, and security.

Requirements

• Extensive experience with PostgreSQL, including:
  • Query optimization
  • Database migrations
  • Row-Level Security (RLS)
• Hands‑on experience building and maintaining serverless architectures.
• Experience integrating third‑party APIs and services.
• Strong knowledge of AWS services, including:
  • AWS Lambda
  • API Gateway
  • Amazon S3
  • Amazon RDS
  • Amazon SQS
  • AWS IAM
• Experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid understanding of application security best practices and the protection of sensitive data.
• Ability to work independently with a high level of ownership and accountability.
• Experience deploying applications safely and reliably to production environments.
• Intermediate to advanced English proficiency, with the ability to collaborate effectively with international teams.
