We are looking for an experienced Backend Developer to join a project supporting and enhancing a live broadcast application used by TV presenters during election coverage. This is a high-impact, high-responsibility environment — the application runs live on television, so reliability, stability, and data accuracy are critical.

Project Overview

  • Live broadcast app used during election season
  • Backend handled by an independent team with full ownership and responsibility
  • Continuous updates, demos, and close collaboration with the client team
  • Work aligned with US East Coast (EST/EDT) hours, 40–50 hours per week

Tech Stack (backend)

  • Node.js + TypeScript
  • Redis (caching, TTL, pub/sub, queues, data structures)
  • APIs (REST, potentially real-time integrations)

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain backend services for a mission-critical live broadcast application
  • Build solutions focused on high reliability, fast iteration, and production stability
  • Ensure data accuracy and consistency in real-time conditions
  • Collaborate closely with the client team and provide transparent progress updates
  • Write tests and maintain high-quality standards suitable for live production

Requirements

  • Strong commercial experience with Node.js and TypeScript
  • Hands-on experience with Redis
  • Experience building systems where availability and correctness are critical
  • Ability to work independently, take ownership, and manage projects end-to-end
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset
  • Daily overlap with US East Coast working hours (EST/EDT)
  • English at B2 level

Additional Context

Experience with B2B projects is a plus, particularly where backend systems support business-critical operations and high reliability is essential
