About the role

Every SDK call, every segment evaluation and every message passes through services you will own: the ingestion gateway that validates and deduplicates events, the workers that evaluate segments as events arrive, and the delivery pipeline that applies caps, quiet hours and the blast-radius ceiling before a provider is called.

The services are Node.js and TypeScript on Postgres and Redis, with queues for asynchronous work and signed webhooks out to customer systems. Reliability is the product: a retry must never double-count a purchase, and a broken endpoint must never become a backlog.

Responsibilities

  • Design and optimise event ingestion gateways that accept high-throughput HTTP and WebSocket traffic with validation, deduplication and backpressure.
  • Build asynchronous processing pipelines on Redis, BullMQ, Kafka or RabbitMQ, with distributed workers and idempotent jobs.
  • Develop integrations and webhooks with payment gateways, e-commerce platforms, messaging providers and marketing stacks.
  • Maintain latency budgets, thorough test coverage and observability with distributed tracing.

Requirements

  • Three or more years of backend engineering with modern Node.js, TypeScript and asynchronous, event-driven architectures.
  • Deep familiarity with streaming architectures, Redis, message brokers and both relational and document databases.
  • Experience with containers, CI/CD and deploying services on AWS, GCP or edge runtimes.
  • A focus on security, rate limiting, fault tolerance and graceful degradation.

Nice to have

  • Experience integrating push, email, SMS or WhatsApp provider APIs.
  • Familiarity with multi-tenant data isolation and row-level security in Postgres.
  • Prior work on schema enforcement or contract testing in CI.

What we offer

The basics, done properly.

The same for every role. Written down so it can be held to.

  • Remote-first. The team works from wherever it works best, and most communication is written and asynchronous.
  • A learning budget for books, courses and conferences, spent on whatever makes you better at the job.
  • The laptop and peripherals you choose, replaced when they slow you down.
  • Health cover for you and your dependants.
  • An annual offsite where the whole team meets in person.
  • Flexible hours built around the few meetings that need everyone present.
