Backend engineer

Mechabits · Pakistan

Design durable APIs, data models, and cloud services — with observability, migrations, and handovers client teams can operate.

You will own server-side foundations for client products: APIs, Postgres (or equivalent), auth boundaries, jobs, and the boring reliability work that keeps production calm. Ideal if you enjoy clear contracts with frontend/mobile and hate silent failures.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship APIs, services, and data models for production apps
• Own migrations, background jobs, and operational readiness
• Partner with frontend/mobile on durable contracts
• Improve observability, performance, and failure handling
• Document systems so client teams can operate them after handover

Requirements

• Several years building production backend services
• Strong experience with Node.js/TypeScript and/or Python APIs
• Solid relational database instincts (Postgres preferred)
• Clear written English for async collaboration
