$120k - $150k
Full-time

Makai Labs

Role Description

This is a full-time remote role for a Senior Backend Software Engineer at Makai. This person will be responsible for backend app development and will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement innovative solutions that enhance user experiences and drive business outcomes.

  • Develop new features across our Node.js/TypeScript backend services
  • Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability
  • Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs
  • Collaborate with frontend developers and product designers to improve usability
  • Write robust, clean, and documented code
  • Maintain and enhance existing applications
  • Conduct performance tests and ensure responsiveness and stability across all platforms

Qualifications

  • Experience with Node.js and TypeScript required
  • 7+ years of professional backend software engineering experience, including strong, current, hands-on experience building and running production services
  • Experience building and running software in a regulated, compliance-heavy environment (e.g., healthcare and PHI, HIPAA, SOC 2, or HITRUST), with the access-control, audit-logging, and data-handling discipline that implies
  • Proven ability to pick up new frameworks and tools quickly, and to reason about systems rather than rely on familiarity with a single specific stack
  • Strong command of relational data modeling and an ORM, and of structured request/schema validation as a general practice
  • Relevant experience using Docker
  • Understanding of microservices architecture and related patterns
  • Solid software engineering skills, with the ability to produce well-structured, maintainable code
  • Familiarity with modern authorization mechanisms
  • Solid experience working from a fully remote position

Requirements

  • Experience with a Node.js application framework such as NestJS, Express, or Fastify
  • Cloud-native experience on Azure, particularly containers and Kubernetes (AKS)
  • Workflow orchestration with Temporal or a comparable durable-execution runtime
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture: tenant isolation, row-level security, and attribute-based access control (ABAC)
  • Legacy modernization or migration experience, carrying a live production system onto a new platform

Benefits

  • Fully remote role, Eastern time zone
  • Opportunities to work in-person with local colleagues
  • Generous PTO
  • Full health insurance premium reimbursement
  • 401(k) matching
  • Career growth & development opportunities
