Job description:
Role Overview

We are looking for a Junior Backend Developer to join our engineering team. You will work closely with senior engineers to build and maintain the server-side services that power the product. This is a hands-on, growth-focused role: we expect solid fundamentals in JavaScript/Node.js, and we will help you ramp up on our project stack (NestJS) on the job. The right person is curious, takes feedback well, and wants to grow into a strong backend engineer by shipping real features in production.

Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain backend APIs and services under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Write clean, readable, and testable code in JavaScript / TypeScript.
- Integrate third-party and internal APIs into the backend.
- Debug, fix, and test issues across the services you work on.
- Participate in code reviews and sprint ceremonies, and learn the team's conventions.

Must-Have (required)
- Around 1 year of backend experience — internships, freelance, or strong personal/academic projects all count.




- Solid JavaScript fundamentals and a working understanding of Node.js (the runtime, async behaviour, npm).
- Basic understanding of how REST APIs and HTTP work.
- Basic familiarity with MongoDB and writing straightforward queries.
- Comfortable using Git for version control.
- Good problem-solving instincts, willingness to learn, and clear communication.

Good to Have (Any of these is a plus, none required)
- We don't expect juniors to know our project stack on day one — we'll train you on NestJS. Any prior exposure to the below is a bonus, not a barrier:_
- TypeScript — any hands-on experience.
- NestJS or Express — exposure to any backend framework.
- MongoDB.
- Authentication concepts (JWT, OAuth 2.0).
- Docker basics, or any exposure to a cloud platform (AWS / GCP / Azure).
- Basic Unix/Linux command-line comfort.
- Familiarity with testing tools (e.g. Jest) or project trackers (Asana, Jira, Notion).

What This Role Is
