Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer who’s most excited about backend systems, data modeling, and infrastructure. You’ll join a small, collaborative team that builds the technology behind Drug Hunter’s platform.

This role is mostly remote, but our team gets together periodically in person to plan, collaborate, and build together. We’re a small group, so everyone wears multiple hats and contributes where the need is greatest. Your focus will be on backend-related projects such as APIs, data integrations, and infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Design and develop APIs and backend services (NestJS/Node.js, Python)

Implement and maintain data models and integrations between systems

Build and manage background job queues (BullMQ, Redis)

Work across the stack when needed (e.g. connect backend APIs to front-end apps)

Set up and maintain development and QA environments across the stack

Deploy and operate services in Docker and Kubernetes

Monitor and optimize system performance, reliability, and scalability

Automate workflows and infrastructure tasks (Python, Bash)

Collaborate on architecture for scalable, maintainable backend systems

Requirements

Strong experience with modern backend frameworks (NestJS or similar)

Solid understanding of API design and data modeling

Comfortable in Linux server environments and with containerization

Experience with relational databases (postgres)

Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes

Proficient with JavaScript/TypeScript and some front-end exposure (React, Next.js, etc.)

Strong Python scripting skills for automation and data tasks

Understanding of environment management (dev, QA, prod)

Nice to Have

Experience with distributed systems, queues, and caching

CI/CD pipeline experience

Cloud platform familiarity (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean)

ETL or data pipeline experience

React Native Experience (Expo)

Benefits

Join a fast-growing company making a real impact in drug discovery

Work with a sharp, passionate, mission-driven team

Shape the software development at a high-growth inflection point

Competitive salary and equity, healthcare, 401(k), flexible PTO, and remote-friendly culture
