Empleos de Backend node js

The Role:
We're looking for a mid-to-senior backend developer to join a fast-moving sports media startup building a mobile app with video content and live scores. This is a full-ownership role — you'll take features from design to production, including the infrastructure side. There's no dedicated DevOps engineer on the team, so you'll need to be comfortable operating on both sides of the stack.

You must be available during US business hours (PT/ET overlap).

Responsibilities:

• 
  Own backend features end-to-end, from architecture decisions to deployment

• Design and build RESTful APIs with a focus on performance and scalability

• Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS (ECS Fargate, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, S3)

• Write and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)

• Work with containerized environments using Docker

• Diagnose and resolve production issues independently

• Collaborate asynchronously with a small, distributed team

• Contribute clean, well-documented, maintainable code

Requirements:

Backend

• 3–6+ years of experience with Node.js (Express, Fastify, or similar)

• TypeScript — required

• PostgreSQL — required

• Strong RESTful API design and system design fundamentals

• Experience with auth patterns: JWT, OAuth

• Microservices architecture experience

• Real-time systems experience (WebSockets, streaming, pub/sub) — a plus

• DynamoDB and/or Redis experience — a plus

Infrastructure

• Hands-on experience deploying and managing services on AWS

• Familiarity with IAM, networking basics, and cloud cost awareness

• Ability to write and maintain CI/CD pipelines

• Proficiency with Docker

General
