## The role

We're looking for a backend engineer to own the systems Funngro runs on.

You'll join a team that has built and shipped a mature production platform, learn it quickly, and take full responsibility for it. Within three months we want you owning the backend end to end — the APIs, the database, the scheduled jobs, the integrations and the infrastructure they run on.

This is a broad, high-trust role. Our backend handles user accounts, project workflows, wallets and payouts, and integrations with a wide range of partners. Some of it moves real money to real teenagers, which means correctness matters more here than almost anywhere else you'll have worked.

## What you'll own

- Our APIs — the services powering the mobile app and our internal tools
- The database — schema design, query performance, indexing, growth and retention
- Scheduled jobs — a substantial suite handling notifications, payouts, reconciliation and reporting
- Integrations — payments and payouts, rewards partners, messaging providers and analytics
- Money movement — wallets, payouts and reward ledgers, where accuracy is non-negotiable
- Infrastructure — the cloud workplace, deployments, monitoring and cost
- Technical direction for the backend — architecture, data model and the quality bar

### Essential





- 3–5 years building production Node.js backends serving real traffic
- Strong MongoDB experience — you've designed schemas, written indexes, and diagnosed a slow query in production
- Experience becoming productive in a large codebase you didn't write. This matters more to us than almost anything else. Tell us about the biggest one you've worked in and how you got up to speed.
- You've worked on something involving payments or money movement, and you understand why that code needs to be treated differently
- Comfortable operating in production — deployments, logs, and handling an incident
- You ask questions when something doesn't make sense rather than guessing

### Nice to have

- Sails.js (or another opinionated framework — NestJS, Rails, Laravel all transfer well)
- Redis or another caching layer
- Cloud platform experience — Azure, AWS or GCP
- Payment gateway integrations (Razorpay, PayU or similar)
- SMS, WhatsApp or email delivery at volume
- Performance tuning and cost optimisation
