Senior Backend Engineer (all genders)

About the Company

Responsibilities

• ● ion, and the DocuSign approval flow - shaping the backend foundations that allow the team to move multiple initiatives forward in parallel.
• ● Your mandate is to take real ownership of your domain from day one: make sound technical decisions, communicate trade-offs directly, surface risk early, and turn product direction into production-ready systems.
• ● This is a senior backend engineer role with meaningful scope, autonomy, and responsibility. We are looking for a backend engineer who is sharp, pragmatic, and comfortable operating in a lean environment where outcomes matter.
• ● YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
• ● Own and evolve backend workstreams in the Media Planning team, with a strong focus on the media allocation engine, Kafka (Event Driven) integration, and the DocuSign approval flow.
• ● Take end-to-end ownership of technical topics - from understanding the problem and shaping the approach through implementation, testing, rollout, and follow-through.
• ● Work closely with product and engineering counterparts on scoping, sequencing, and trade-offs, and push back when needed to protect quality, clarity, and delivery.
• ● Extend and maintain event-driven contracts with Order Management, building carefully on established Kafka and outbox patterns across services.
• ● Contribute to a federated GraphQL backend architecture spanning multiple services, and reason confidently about cross-service dependencies and eventual consistency.
• ● Partner with the other backend engineer, frontend engineers, product, and DevOps to move shared initiatives forward without dropping ownership.
• ● Review code, contribute to technical discussions, and help raise the engineering bar through thoughtful collaboration and strong execution.
• ● Create momentum in ambiguous situations by making progress visible, surfacing constraints early, and driving work across the finish line.

Requirements

• ● You have 6+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally in startup or scale-up environments where engineers own domains end-to-end.
• ● You bring strong TypeScript and Node.js backend experience and are comfortable shipping production systems in lean, fast-moving teams.
• ● You have worked with GraphQL in real product environments, ideally in federation or subgraph-based architectures.
• ● You have hands-on experience with event-driven systems and distributed architecture patterns such as Kafka, outbox patterns, and at-least-once delivery semantics.
• ● NestJS experience is a strong plus, especially if you have used it across service-oriented backend systems.
• ● You are an autonomous builder: you do not wait for perfect instructions; you make sound decisions with incomplete information, and you take responsibility for the outcome.
• ● You are highly structured and analytical, and you can move from technical investigation to practical implementation without losing momentum.
• ● You communicate clearly and directly, especially when discussing scope, trade-offs, risk, and delivery with product and engineering peers.
• ● You are comfortable in a lean team that expects ownership, initiative, and high standards rather than heavy process or hierarchy.
• ● You think in systems, not just tickets - and you care about maintainability, consistency, and the real downstream impact of backend decisions.
• ● English is required.
