Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and event-driven systems using TypeScript and Node.js.
- Develop APIs and workflows that integrate AI and LLM frameworks to power Elliptic's copilot and other intelligent features.
- Design, optimise, and query data models across relational and NoSQL databases.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features from concept through to production.
- Take part in technical design reviews, planning sessions, and code reviews to continuously improve system quality.
- Contribute to infrastructure and observability practices alongside the team — you won't own this alone, but you'll be expected to care about how your services run in production.
Requirements
- 3–6 years of backend engineering experience with TypeScript and Node.js like NestJS or Express.
- Proven ability to design, build, and maintain robust, well-documented APIs and integrate with external systems.
- Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, S3) in production environments.
- Proficiency in SQL databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and familiarity with NoSQL solutions.
- A methodical, analytical approach to system design, architecture, and technical trade-offs.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, working effectively with engineering, product, and design teams.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with LangChain or other LLM/AI frameworks. If you haven't used these yet but are eager to learn, that counts too.
- Hands-on experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code tooling.
- Experience with observability platforms like Datadog (metrics, tracing, alerting).
- Familiarity with distributed or event-driven architectures (SNS, SQS, etc.).
- Interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, or compliance though we're happy to bring you up to speed.
