Back End Developer

Back-End Developer

Somarae is not just a tech app, nor just wellness. We are a movement for those who know true thriving requires returning to the body. We're building a somatic wellness platform and living community that offers personalized, real-time nervous system support through emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed AI—paired with something technology alone can't replace: human connection and co-regulation. Our company mission is to help 1 billion people become more regulated, rooted and radiant. Join our Somarae movement as our Back-End Developer. You'll design and power the engine behind the app — the systems that make real-time healing and AI-guided support possible.

If you love building tech that actually improves human lives, then Somarae is for you. We're looking for a Back-End Developer who thrives in early-stage environments, loves solving complex problems, and wants to be part of building a product from the ground up. You'll work closely with our founding team, AI engineers, and designers to architect and build the backbone of the Somarae app — ensuring scalability, security, and seamless integration between front-end experiences and AI-driven features.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in back-end development (startup or fast-paced environments a plus).
• Strong proficiency in Node.js, Python, or Go (we are language-flexible but currently lean toward Node/Python).
• Experience with RESTful APIs / GraphQL and real-time communication (WebSockets).
• Proficiency with cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or similar).
• Knowledge of authentication, authorization, and data security best practices.
• Bonus: Experience with AI/ML integration or interest in learning.
• Bonus: Familiarity with healthtech, wellness, or mental health apps.
