About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and maintain the Talview platform — robust backend services powered by PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS Lambda, GraphQL, Hasura, Node.js, and Temporal.

As a Backend Engineer, you will own complex technical problems end to end, work to the engineering standards the team has established, and help raise them as the platform grows.

Responsibilities

•     Design, develop, deploy, and operate scalable backend microservices that serve millions of users.

•     Monitor service usage and continuously improve efficiency, stability, and speed.

•     Collaborate cross-functionally with Frontend Engineers, QA, Customer Success, and Product teams.

•     Own your services end to end — take responsibility for solutions deployed to customers, from design through operation.

•     Participate in proofs of concept and trials for new product features.

•     Integrate with a diverse set of APIs, services, and data stores across the ecosystem.

•     Contribute directly to platform reliability, scalability, and product success.

What We're Looking For

•     5–6 years of solid backend development experience with Node.js.

•     Strong fundamentals in object-oriented programming, design patterns, and SOLID principles.

•     Experience writing unit, integration, and functional tests.

•     Working knowledge of distributed systems, application tuning and profiling, and CI pipelines.

•     Proficiency in SQL, with PostgreSQL preferred.

•     Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices architecture.

Nice to Have

•     Hands-on SaaS experience.

•     Experience in customer-facing engineering roles.

•     Familiarity with Git, VS Code, and REST client tooling.

•     Understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.

•     Excellent verbal and written communication.

Our Culture: The 5Cs

We are guided by Collaboration, Commitment, Credence (alignment to goals), Customer-centricity, and Candor. We work together, follow through, stay aligned to what matters, obsess over users, and communicate openly.

Our team includes off-roaders, bikers, table tennis champions, cricketers, marathon runners, musicians, gamers, thriving families, and happy singles. You will find your crew here — and you are welcome to bring talented friends along.
