Hiring remotely in the UK / Europe (GMT to GMT+2)
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our distributed team at Graphy. You’ll play a key role in building the backend foundations behind our developer tools: our Agents API and our data viz SDK.
You’ll work closely with other engineers to build backend features that other developers depend on and ensure our agents can run reliably at scale.
What we look for
- Proven ability to build and scale backend systems in production.
- Deep understanding of backend architecture: services, async workflows, queues, caching etc.
- Strong experience with TypeScript / Node and building APIs.
- Good knowledge of databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redis etc).
- Experience tackling challenges around (a) traffic spikes or (b) large data payloads or (c) compute-heavy processing on the backend.
- A security and data privacy mindset.
- Pragmatism and ability to balance speed and quality well, avoiding both over-engineering and shortcuts that create long-term problems.
- Strong communication skills and being comfortable with async collaboration.
Nice-to-haves:
- Platform / DevOps experience.
- Experience building self-hosted deployment options.
