About the role

We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to co-own our Node.js API platform alongside our senior backend lead. The headline project:



migrating our production Microsoft SQL Server database to PostgreSQL on AWS using DMS— schema conversion (SCT), continuous replication (CDC), data validation, application query migration, and a zero-surprise cutover. You'll plan it, run it, and own the result. Beyond the migration, you'll own backend features end-to-end, share PR review responsibility, and become a primary resource on the platform. This is a high-ownership role in a small team where your code ships to production and gets used in the field the same week.

What you'll own
- MSSQL PostgreSQL migration: schema conversion (data types, identity columns, stored procedure logic), data mapping and validation, application query migration to our ORM, and cutover planning — working with AWS DMS/SCT alongside our DevOps function
- Backend feature development: REST APIs in Node.js/Express with TypeScript and Drizzle ORM against PostgreSQL on AWS RDS
- Data layer quality: schema design, query optimization, indexing strategy, mig
