  • Own production application operations, including runtime configuration, feature flags, health checks, performance, and troubleshooting.
  • Build and maintain APIs, shared business logic, and database queries within our existing monorepo architecture.
  • Plan and validate database migrations, investigate data integrity issues, and develop safe, auditable recovery procedures.
  • Maintain reliable payment, email, storage, AI, and electronic signature integrations, including webhook handling, retries, and reconciliation.
  • Enforce organization and role permissions, protect sensitive records, and maintain audit coverage for privileged actions.
  • Lead application incident diagnosis and remediation, working with DevOps on infrastructure issues, release readiness, and recovery.
  • Write meaningful API, authorization, integration, and unit tests; review code and mentor other engineers.
  • Keep operational runbooks and architectural documentation current.

Requirements

  • Strong production experience with TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and API design.
  • Experience operating a SaaS application, diagnosing incidents, and improving reliability.

  • Familiarity with GCP or comparable managed cloud infrastructure.

Nice to Have:

Prisma or Drizzle, oRPC, Better Auth, Stripe Connect, background task queues, AI integrations, and pnpm/Turborepo monorepos.

Success in this role means dependable backend services, understood production behavior, safe database changes, and effective incident recovery.
