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 Argentina, to extend our platform using our existing codebase. Youll 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.

- Add necessary backend endpoints to support new UI flows.
- Develop using NestJS as the main backend framework.
- Work with PostgreSQL, Redis, and HashiCorp Vault for persistence, caching, and secrets.
- Use Socket.IO for real-time updates (job status, inference progress).
- 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.
- Hands-on experience with Socket.IO or other WebSocket libraries.
- Experience with secure configuration and secrets management (HashiCorp Vault preferred).

- Strong debugging and systems thinking able to reason about scheduling, state management, and concurrency.
- Experience integrating with AI runtimes (gRPC/REST backends for inference).
- Familiarity with C++ service APIs (FFI, REST, or gRPC bindings).
- 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.
