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)
