Founding Backend Software Engineer • Typescript

At Neuroscale, we’re building agentic infrastructure for AI systems that reason, evaluate, and act autonomously. Our flagship product, Arbi, gives recruiters superhuman powers, letting them instantly source, screen, and assess thousands of candidates with accuracy, speed, and consistency. It’s like having a team of world-class recruiters in your corner 24/7.

We’ve shipped production-ready systems, built real traction, and assembled a strong engineering foundation. Now we’re looking to grow our backend team with a seasoned engineer who can architect scalable systems, move fast without breaking things, and help us handle rapidly growing demand.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Software Engineer (TypeScript) to help us scale and evolve our core systems. You'll work closely with AI engineers, frontend devs, and product leads to build the APIs, services, and infrastructure powering our agentic workflows.

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows how to build enterprise-grade backends using modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks. You’ll lead major technical efforts, make architecture decisions that scale, and help us stay fast, reliable, and resilient as our user base grows.

What You'll Do & Own

• Design, build, and maintain backend services using TypeScript (preferably NestJS)
• Develop and document robust REST and GraphQL APIs used by frontend and AI components
• Work with PostgreSQL and Redis to manage structured and real-time data
• Collaborate across teams to integrate AI pipelines, inference systems, and third-party APIs
• Own backend performance, reliability, observability, and dev workflow improvements
• Drive engineering excellence via clean code, code reviews, and strong documentation
• Evolve our authentication, authorization, and permissioning systems
• Contribute to architecture decisions with a long-term view on scale and maintainability

You Might Be a Fit If You...

• Have 6+ years of experience building production-grade backend systems
• Are highly proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript, with deep knowledge of Node.js and NestJS
• Have strong experience designing and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs
• Are comfortable with PostgreSQL, Redis, and caching strategies
• Know your way around Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and version control with Git
• Value clean architecture, modular codebases, and well-structured data models
• Thrive in a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment with evolving priorities

Bonus Points

• Experience building secure, scalable auth systems (OAuth2, SSO, etc.)
• Familiarity with async patterns, workers, or event-driven systems (e.g., BullMQ, RabbitMQ)
• Exposure to AI/ML tooling, vector databases, or real-time inference workloads
• Experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise-scale backend platforms

What’s in It for You

• Join a tight-knit engineering team shipping fast and building with ambition
• Work on products used by real-world recruiters, analysts, and decision-makers
• Be part of a mission-driven company redefining how humans and AI collaborate
• Competitive salary, meaningful early-stage equity, and flexible work arrangements
• Zero bureaucracy, high trust, and a strong culture of ownership and technical excellence
