About Us
We are a stealth-mode startup building new infrastructure for the AI industry. Our mission is to make advanced language models deployable, customizable, and secure across diverse environments.
Our platform leverages an existing SaaS codebase for authentication, billing, and user management, and we are extending it with AI-specific features including runtime orchestration, dashboards, and secure communication layers.
Role
We are seeking a Backend Engineer (Node.js/NestJS), based in Ukraine, to extend our platform using our existing codebase. You’ll build the proxy backend that interacts with our custom inference runtime and extend dashboards.
This role requires strong backend engineering skills, an ability to integrate existing systems, and comfort working closely with C++ engineers who are building low-level runtime features.

- Ensure secure integration with Stripe (billing) and Auth0 (identity). Collaborate with DevOps on deployment pipelines (Proxmox, Docker, CI/CD).
- Strong experience with Node.js and NestJS framework.
- Proficiency in PostgreSQL and Redis for persistence and caching.

- Experience with authentication/authorization frameworks (Auth0, JWT, RBAC).
- Familiarity with Stripe API or similar billing systems.
- Contributions to backend open-source projects.
- Extend a proven SaaS foundation into a new AI runtime platform.
