• Improve monitoring, testing, and incident documentation to prevent repeat issues and reduce production risk.

Role Requirements

• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across backend systems.
• Ability to architect solutions that fix root causes, not just symptoms.

• Knowledge of secure methods for transmission, storage, and management of user data.
• Experience coordinating releases across multiple stakeholders.
• Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS
• Ruby & Ruby on Rails
