Job Description
Senior Platform Technical Lead architecting and refining high-load distributed systems for a fully remote role in European Union. Collaborating with Product Owners and engineers to enhance system resilience and performance.
Responsibilities:
- Architect, refactor, and scale high-load distributed systems where failure is expensive and latency matters.
- Lead by example - code when it counts, review relentlessly, debug production issues, and mentor through action, not meetings.
- Tune performance until it screams: reduce latency, increase throughput, eliminate bottlenecks.
- Make hard calls: architecture trade-offs, rewrites, tech debt prioritization - and own the consequences.
- Work side-by-side with Product Owners and Solution Architect. No handoffs. No silos. One goal.
- Jump into incidents, own RCA end-to-end, and make sure the same issue never happens twice.
- Push a PoC-first mindset: test fast, fail smart, scale what proves value.
- Build systems that survive growth, pressure, and time - resilient, observable, and clean.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of backend experience. You’ve built and operated real systems, not just shipped features.
- Deep in Node.js / TypeScript. Comfortable with async flows, gRPC, Kafka, and distributed systems pain.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS - you know how things break in production.
- You can sketch a microservice architecture from memory - and explain where it will fail.
- Obsessed with performance, observability, and efficiency. You measure before you argue.
- You think like an engineer, decide like an architect, and act like an owner.
- You’ve led engineers - not by title, but by competence, example and trust.
- Bonus: experience with ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.
Benefits:
- Fully remote. Work from anywhere in Europe.
- Unlimited vacation + paid sick leave. We trust adults.
- Quarterly bonuses. Real impact, real money.
- Learning budget for courses, certifications.
- Ownership and autonomy. You decide how to make things faster, cleaner, better.
- No bureaucracy. No filler. Just meaningful engineering work.
