Job Description:

• Own production application operations, including runtime configuration, feature flags, health checks, performance, and troubleshooting.
• Build and maintain APIs, shared business logic, and database queries within our existing monorepo architecture.
• Plan and validate database migrations, investigate data integrity issues, and develop safe, auditable recovery procedures.
• Maintain reliable payment, email, storage, AI, and electronic signature integrations, including webhook handling, retries, and reconciliation.

Nice to Have:

Prisma or Drizzle, oRPC, Better Auth, Stripe Connect, background task queues, AI integrations, and pnpm/Turborepo monorepos.

Success in this role means dependable backend services, understood production behavior, safe database changes, and effective incident recovery.

• Flexible timings. You decide your work scheduled.
• Market competitive compensation (in $$).
