EngineeringRemoteFull-time

Backend / Infrastructure Engineer

You'd own the backend and infrastructure behind Eden: a real-time collaborative product with a large-scale social-data pipeline, LLM features, and subscription billing. This role spans a dozen TypeScript services, the worker fleets, payments, the collab server, and the deploy tooling. Fast-moving startup, direct production ownership.

Requirements

TypeScript on the backend (Node/Bun, HTTP services like Elysia/Express).
Postgres depth: schema, migrations, query optimization (Drizzle a plus).
Queues & background workers at scale (BullMQ/Redis), including rate-limit and throughput tuning.
Infrastructure ownership: Docker, container deploys (Railway), OpenTelemetry.
Distributed/real-time systems: CRDTs and sync (Yjs/Loro, InstantDB), or the ability to ramp fast.
Stripe/Orb billing experience (subscriptions, paywalls, trials).
Pragmatic and autonomous: debugs production, ships hotfixes, makes sound calls solo.

Nice to have

Large-scale social-data pipelines and anti-rate-limit work.
Search engines (Typesense).
LLM plumbing (AI SDK, OpenRouter, MCP).
Rust/WASM, pnpm monorepos.

Profile

A generalist who's comfortable jumping from billing to a collab-server bug in the same day, and who treats production reliability as their job.
