Staff Backend Engineer

to help scale the backend infrastructure that powers this. You’ll work on real-world automation challenges and lead backend architecture as we grow. What you’ll do

Design and build

scalable, reliable backend systems

and senior engineers to make architecture and product decisions. Mentor engineers , review code, and raise the bar on quality and performance. Lead long-term projects from planning through launch — with clear milestones and tradeoffs. Own

DevOps and infrastructure decisions

— make sure things run smoothly in production. Write clean, tested code and

take responsibility for what you ship . What we're looking for

10+ years of backend engineering experience , including database design and scaling systems. Strong technical judgment — you can spot risks, call out tradeoffs, and keep things simple. A track record of

mentoring engineers

and improving team workflows. Experience working with

AWS services

like Lambda, AppSync, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and IAM. Solid with

Node.js, TypeScript , and comfortable writing tests with tools like Jest or Playwright. You’re thoughtful about technical debt — and know when to avoid it or contain it. You care about

building useful, reliable software

more than chasing hype. Nice to have

Experience building

GraphQL APIs

or similar systems. Familiar with

Auth systems

like Cognito, Okta, or Auth0. Worked on

Chrome extensions , or complex frontend/backend integrations. Exposure to

LLM or vector search systems

in production. Experience with

Infrastructure as Code , like CDK or Serverless Framework. Comfortable jumping into the frontend when needed (React, Vue, etc.). Why this role

You’ll be joining a small, senior team that values

clarity, ownership, and impact . Your work will be used every day by

900K+ sales reps

at companies like Salesforce, Lockheed Martin, Klaviyo, and PIMCO. There’s room to

shape the product and the backend stack

— not just ship tickets.
