Back End Developer

JOB SUMMARY

Company: eat&vibe

Role: Backend Developer (Mid-Level)

Location: Fully Remote

Type: Full-time

About Us

eat&vibe is a social integration platform helping people connect in real life through shared interests like food cravings and activities. We’re building for a global audience: immigrants, tourists, and locals, making it easier to belong anywhere.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a mid-level backend developer who can build, think, and communicate. This isn’t a just write code role. You’ll be working on systems that involve real-time interactions, user trust, and scalable infrastructure. If you like solving real problems—not just closing tickets—you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain scalable backend services using Node.js and TypeScript.
• Design clean, efficient APIs for mobile and web clients.
• Work with databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) to manage and optimize data.
• Collaborate with frontend and product teams to ship features end-to-end.
• Implement authentication, security, and performance best practices.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions as we scale.
• Write and maintain tests to ensure system reliability.
• Participate in code reviews and team discussions.

TECH STACK

Core: JavaScript / TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js / NestJS

Databases and Tools: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Prisma ORM

DevOps and Infrastructure: Git, Docker, Linux, SSH, GitHub Actions (CI/CD)

Cloud (AWS): EC2, S3, CloudFront, SNS, SES

Bonus: DynamoDB, AWS CDK

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

What We Are Looking For

• 2–4 years of backend development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Experience building and shipping real-world APIs.
• Solid understanding of at least one database.
• Familiarity with Docker and basic cloud infrastructure.
• Ability to communicate clearly and work in a team.
• A problem-solving mindset; you don’t wait to be told everything.

Nice to Have

• Experience with NestJS.
• Experience with Redis (caching, queues).
• Familiarity with AWS services.
• Understanding of system design and scalability.
• Experience working on real-time applications.

What Makes You Stand Out

• You’ve built or contributed to something people actually use.
• You think beyond code—performance, security, and user impact matter to you.
• You’re proactive, reliable, and take ownership.
• You can explain your decisions, not just implement them.

WHY JOIN US?

• Work on a product solving real human problems (loneliness, connection, belonging).
• Be part of an early team shaping the future of the platform.
• Opportunity to grow fast as the company scales.
• Your work will directly impact real-world experiences.
