Job Description

Backend Engineer - Node.js / TypeScript

Location:

Remote\| Full-Time

Our hiring partner is pioneering a platform backed by $14M from top-tier investors, enabling enterprises to deploy authenticated AI agents for mission-critical workflows.

Their technology solves a fundamental challenge: securely accessing and transforming data trapped behind complex authentication barriers. We’ve automated weeks-long manual processes into minutes for industry leaders. Join our growing team to build the infrastructure that makes every business system AI-accessible.

Your Mission

Architect core systems that allow AI agents to securely navigate authenticated environments—from dynamic web interfaces to legacy systems—transforming unstructured data into actionable intelligence at scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build Resilient AI Agents

: Develop systems that automate complex logins (including MFA), extract unstructured data, and handle dynamic web interfaces without APIs.

  • Engineer Secure Foundations

: Create authentication workflows for diverse platforms and scalable APIs for enterprise-grade solutions.

  • Design Data Infrastructure

: Implement GCP-based data pipelines, optimize PostgreSQL performance, and ensure integrity for millions of records.

  • Ship End-to-End Systems

: Develop third-party integrations, testing suites, and observability tools with a focus on reliability.

  • Collaborate Strategically

: Work with senior engineers on system architecture and product teams to solve real customer challenges.

Tech Stack Deep Dive

  • Core

: TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python

  • Infra

: GCP, Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD)

  • Automation

: Custom web agents, Puppeteer/Playwright (experience a plus)

Who You Are

  • 3\+ years backend engineering experience shipping production systems.

Technical Mastery

:

  • Proficient in modern backends (Node.js/TypeScript preferred)
  • Experience with REST APIs, cloud platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure), and databases
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines

Cultural Fit

:

  • Autonomy

: Own outcomes end-to-end in ambiguous environments

  • Craftsmanship

: Balance best practices with pragmatic delivery

  • Curiosity

: Continuously explore authentication, security, and AI/automation

  • Communication

: Document decisions and align cross-functional teams

Nice-to-Haves

  • Data engineering/ETL pipeline experience
  • Knowledge of OAuth, SAML, or security protocols
  • Startup experience or open-source contributions
  • Monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)

Why Join

  • Impact Critical Infrastructure

: Your code enables AI to access 90% of enterprise data currently locked behind logins.

  • Founder-Level Equity

: Significant ownership in a well-funded startup.

  • Strong Team

: Learn from former founders and early engineers who scaled 0→1 products.
