Backend Engineer

JobFinder AI is hiring a Backend Engineer to build and operate the backend powering its job-posting collection, matching, and application services. The role focuses on APIs, data ingestion, database performance, background processing, and production reliability.

Responsibilities:

• You'll own the backend that collects hundreds of thousands of job postings, keeps them fresh, and turns them into matches and applications for our users
• APIs and background workers in TypeScript and Node.js
• Postgres: schema design, query performance, and migrations on tables with hundreds of thousands of rows
• Ingestion pipelines that pull jobs from job boards and company career sites, then clean and deduplicate them
• Queues and scheduled jobs for matching, emails, and payments
• Monitoring, logging, and fixing production issues when something breaks

Requirements:

• 0–2 years of experience — internships and strong projects count
• Solid TypeScript or JavaScript on Node.js, or strong backend experience in another language
• Comfortable with SQL and relational databases
• You write code that's easy to read, and you test it before shipping
• Clear written communication
• Python, for scraping and data scripts
• Experience with Linux servers, process managers, or Docker
• Something you built that real people actually use
