Senior Backend Architect
Temporary
Wizdaa
Role Description
We are looking for a highly senior backend engineer who can operate at Lead Engineer / Architect level. This is not a role for someone who only executes tickets. We need someone who can:
- Make architecture decisions independently
- Design systems with long-term scalability in mind
- Turn ambiguous product needs into production-ready backend solutions
This is a high-ownership role on a lean team. The default mode of execution is AI-first. Engineers use AI agents to accelerate research, planning, implementation, testing, and refinement, but ownership stays fully with the engineer. The person in this role must be able to use AI to move fast while maintaining strong judgment around:
- Architecture
- Correctness
- Security
- Performance
- Reliability
We are specifically looking for candidates who have already held responsibilities similar to Lead Engineer or Architect in previous roles.
The work includes:
- Designing and owning backend services in NestJS and TypeScript, from schema to production
- Making architecture decisions independently, with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and reliability
- Building and maintaining GraphQL APIs across a microservices environment
- Owning database design, optimization, and reliability in Postgres
- Defining technical direction, not just implementation details
- Setting and enforcing quality standards across both AI-generated and manually written code
- Translating ambiguous product needs into clear technical solutions
- Contributing to system design, infrastructure decisions, testing strategy, and developer productivity
- Operating in an AI-first workflow without compromising engineering standards
This is a fast-paced environment with real production stakes. You will be expected to move quickly, think at systems level, and make strong technical decisions with minimal hand-holding. If you are comfortable owning architecture and raising the technical bar in a high-accountability environment, this role is for you.
