About the Role

We are looking for an experienced TypeScript Backend Architect to design and guide the development of scalable, distributed backend systems. You will play a key role in shaping the system architecture, defining technical standards, and ensuring high-quality implementation across services.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong engineering background, deep TypeScript expertise, and hands-on experience building distributed systems. Knowledge of Temporal and Business Rules engines is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain high-level backend architecture for distributed systems.

• Define service boundaries, communication patterns, and integration strategies.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.

• Establish coding, testing, and deployment best practices.

• Review and guide the implementation of critical backend services (TypeScript/NestJS/Node.js stack).

• Drive architectural improvements focusing on scalability, reliability, and performance.

• Participate in technical decision-making, roadmap planning, and system evolution.

• Work closely with product and engineering leads to ensure alignment with business goals.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with TypeScript.

• 2+ years working in an Architect or Lead Engineer role.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems design, microservices, event-driven architectures, and system scalability.

• Deep expertise with Node.js and modern backend frameworks (e.g., NestJS).

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and CI/CD pipelines.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

• English: C1 (Advanced).

Nice to Have

• Experience with Temporal (workflow orchestration engine).

• Experience integrating or building Business Rules engines.

• Knowledge of domain-driven design (DDD).

• Familiarity with high-scale, real-time, or data-intensive systems.
