About the Role

We're hiring a Lead Engineer to own and scale mission-critical messaging systems at the core of our platform. You'll work on backend-heavy, full-stack features that integrate with major messaging providers like Meta and Apple, handling billions of message events every month.

Key Responsibilities

Own full-stack delivery of new messaging channels, including design, implementation, and scaling

Architect distributed backend systems using Node.js, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, and event-driven workflows

Integrate third-party APIs — managing webhooks, retries, auth flows, rate limits, and schema changes

Design frontend flows using Vue.js, building modular, state-aware components

Work across data layers, including MongoDB, Firestore, ElasticSearch, and ClickHouse

Collaborate cross-functionally with SRE, Product, and Design teams to ensure reliable user experiences

Establish engineering standards for quality, testing, scalability, and observability

Mentor junior engineers and support team growth through technical guidance and hiring

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience as a backend-heavy full-stack engineer

Expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, and designing scalable microservices

Proficiency with Vue.js, Vuex/Pinia, and component-based frontend development

Strong experience integrating with third-party APIs, especially messaging, communications, or SaaS providers

Solid understanding of Kubernetes, GCP, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, and async architecture

Familiarity with distributed systems and the challenges of retries, timeouts, and error handling

Strong system design and communication skills; past experience mentoring engineers is a plus

Why Join Us

Fully remote opportunity with a global, high-impact product

Solve real-world problems at serious scale (billions of API calls & message events/month)

Work alongside talented engineers in a culture that values ownership, innovation, and continuous learning

Help shape the future of messaging infrastructure used by millions of users worldwide

Inclusive Workplace

We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and experiences and believe that diverse teams build better products.
