Backend Engineer

Own the coordination layer itself

the records, approvals, and data infrastructure every client operation runs on. When the platform is solid, everything built on it compounds.

All rolesRemote or New York City officeFull-time

What you will own

• Design and build the core platform: operational records, approval flows, ownership models, and the data layer underneath them.
• Make multi-tenant infrastructure boring: reliable, observable, and safe to change while real operations run on it.
• Own deployment architecture across client environments: cloud, VPC, and local, so data residency is honored by design.
• Build the primitives the automation and forward-deployed teams assemble into client systems.
• Set the reliability bar. The platform is the thing everyone else's work stands on.

What we are looking for

• Strong backend and infrastructure fundamentals: data modeling, APIs, queues, observability.
• Judgment about reliability and failure modes in systems other people depend on.
• Comfort with TypeScript and Node, and with owning services end to end.
• Able to design for constraints you did not choose: client environments, residency requirements, legacy systems.

Nice to have

• Multi-tenant SaaS or platform experience.
• Postgres depth, RLS, or event-driven architectures.
• Experience running workloads across cloud, VPC, and on-prem environments.

What you get

• Remote or our New York City office.
• The platform is yours to shape; the architecture decisions are still open.
• A short path from decision to production.

Equity

Meaningful equity in the company. We discuss compensation directly once we are in conversation.
