About us
We’re a Ukrainian startup building a new generation of route-optimization and delivery-automation tools for couriers, drivers, and service businesses.
Our vision — transform chaotic, inefficient deliveries into a seamless, intelligent ecosystem for both individuals and companies.
Now building a scalable, production-grade product from scratch — the foundation for future B2B ecosystem
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to lead the backend direction and help architect the foundation for a system designed to scale from thousands to millions of users.
Your role
Lead backend architecture for a next-generation mobile app that will scale to millions of users. Work directly with the founder to design the system's architecture, performance, and scalability.
What you'll do
- Architect and implement backend systems using Node.js (NestJS)
- Design scalable data models with PostgreSQL or MongoDB
- Build a modular, high-performance backend ready for multi-service expansion
- Develop containerized infrastructure (Docker + Kubernetes)
- Take part in the configuration and management of AWS environments (ECS/Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudWatch)
- Collaborate with mobile developers for seamless API integration
- Optimize performance, scalability, and fault tolerance
Required skills
- 4+ years of backend development with Node.js / TypeScript
- Expertise with NestJS and microservice or monolithic architecture
- Proficiency in PostgreSQL or MongoDB (schema design, indexing, scaling)
- Experience building distributed, high-load systems
- Strong understanding of AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM)
- Hands-on with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD
- Knowledge of cloud-native design and horizontal scalability
- Strong ownership and independent decision-making
Nice to have
- Event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS)
- Real-time data flows (WebSockets, Pub/Sub, Firebase)
- Clean architecture patterns
Soft skills
- Strong technical leadership and architectural thinking
- Clear communication and collaboration
- Proactive problem-solving approach
- Ability to work independently in a startup environment
What we offer
- Core role from day one — shape the entire backend system
- Half autonomy to architect, experiment, and define standards
- Long-term collaboration and meaningful technical growth
- Direct work with the founder, product, and design
- Remote-first, async-friendly, zero bureaucracy
