Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION COMPANY'S JOB DESCRIPTION LINK

The backend team is responsible for keeping the GraphQL API (powered by Hasura), PubSub systems, and AWS infrastructure up and running to ensure our users can find new friends, groups, and events every day. We are a team of builders and our work is heavily concentrated on quickly building out new features to bring new functionality to the platform. Some recent and current features include polls, converting our messaging platform to PubSub, and auto-moderation of picture uploads.

Patio is looking for a team lead to bring our backend codebase and infrastructure to the next level. Our backend is just starting many transitions — GCP API endpoints to a dedicated NodeJS API, a single GraphQL to a federated GraphQL API, automated full-stack test suites for our frontend teams, and much more — and we need help from the best. Join us if you would like to be an owner of our backend ecosystem, a catalyst in our developer velocity, and a major contributor to our existing and new services.

You will:

Mentor other developers and grow the backend engineering team
Build the foundational framework for new and existing systems (NodeJS backend, Hasura GraphQL API, AWS Infrastructure)
Collaborate cross company to quickly plan and iterate on new features and offerings
Research, plan, and spearhead new services as needed for scale, certain features, and for observability/monitoring.
Debug production issues across multiple levels of the stack
Ensure our systems and infrastructure are secure, reliable, and performant
Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes

You may be a fit for this role if:

4+ years of industry experience at high-growth startups or companies
2+ years of industry experience using NodeJS (Typescript preferred!)
Previous experience (as a member or team lead) of a highly efficient team (remote a plus!)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Experience with IaC (we use Terraform to provision AWS)
Passion for GraphQL and the surrounding ecosystem

Our Stack:

Hasura backed by PostgreSQL
NodeJS (Typescript)
AWS
Terraform
Datadog & Sentry
