Software Engineer II - Node.js / TypeScript

Keep the Engine Running – and Love Where You Work

Role: Software Engineer - Node.js / TypeScript

Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite 100% downtown at Symphony Towers)

Compensation Range: $120,000–$145,000 DOE

At Luminize, we help brands win. As one of the top 5 Amazon sellers in the US, our physical operations are as critical as our digital ones. We're looking for a Software Engineer II to help maintain and evolve our Warehouse Management System (WMS). You'll play a hands-on role supporting the platform that powers our warehouse workflows, shipping, and inventory tracking — and contribute directly to modernizing it for the future.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Platform Support: Work alongside senior engineers and the Platform Architect to maintain and improve our current WMS, keeping operations running smoothly day to day.
• Migration Contribution: Play an active role in migrating legacy functionality (Google Apps Script/Sheets) into a modern backend architecture using Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL.
• Full-Stack Development: Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that support real-time inventory and order fulfillment.
• System Reliability: Assist with logging, monitoring, and observability improvements to help the platform perform reliably during high-volume peaks.
• Team Collaboration: Work with nearshore developers to deliver features, troubleshoot production issues, and contribute to a culture of quality and accountability.
• Documentation: Document code, APIs, and technical workflows to support knowledge sharing and reduce operational risk across the team.

✅ What You Bring

• Experience: 3+ years building full-stack systems in production environments (GCP familiarity a plus).
• The Tech Stack: Solid hands-on experience with Node.js / TypeScript and PostgreSQL (schema design, migrations, and query optimization).
• Modern Frontend: Ability to build and maintain responsive web UIs with React across various devices.
• Migration Exposure: Some experience contributing to legacy system refactoring, modernization, or migration efforts in a production codebase.
• Domain Awareness: Familiarity with WMS, ERP applications, or fulfillment logistics is a plus — curiosity about operational systems is a must.
• Data Familiarity: Exposure to cloud environments and modern data tools like BigQuery or Snowflake is a bonus.
• Problem Solver: A collaborative, detail-oriented mindset — comfortable working through loosely defined requirements and asking the right questions to get unblocked.

You’ll be based in Symphony Towers, one of San Diego’s premier office spaces that offers:

• Stunning views of the city and coastline

• Free access to the building gym

• Discounts at restaurants and cafes in the tower

• Secure bike racks and 24/7 paid parking in a nearby downtown structure

• A fully stocked snack bar, espresso machine, and cold drinks

• Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services

• Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap)

• Paid holidays annually

• Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26

Compensation Transparency We’ve listed a broad salary range of $120,000–$145,000/year to account for varying levels of experience, technical skill sets, and potential.
