About the role
Orissian builds software that organizations depend on every day: finance workflows, operations platforms, internal tools, and the integrations that hold them together. As a Backend Developer you will own services from the first data model to production, and you will work directly with the people who use what you build.
What you will do
- Design and build APIs and services in TypeScript on Node.js or in Python, with clear contracts and good tests.
- Model data in PostgreSQL, write migrations you can roll back, and keep queries fast as data grows.
- Build integrations with payment, accounting, CRM, and messaging platforms, with retries, idempotency, and webhooks done properly.
- Ship through CI/CD, containers, and cloud infrastructure, and keep an eye on what happens after release.
- Review code, write short design notes before big changes, and help teammates move faster.
What you bring
- 3+ years building backend systems that real users rely on.
- Strong command of one backend language and its ecosystem: TypeScript/Node.js, Python, or Go.
- Solid SQL, relational modelling, and good instincts about transactions and consistency.
- Experience with REST or GraphQL APIs, authentication, and background jobs or queues.
- Comfort with Git, Docker, Linux, and reading logs when something breaks.
- Clear written English. Most of our collaboration happens in writing.
Nice to have
- Redis, message queues such as SQS, RabbitMQ, or Kafka, and event-driven designs.
- AWS or GCP, Terraform, and observability tools such as Grafana, Sentry, or OpenTelemetry.
- Experience building on LLM APIs or automation workflows.
How we hire
- Apply. Send your application and CV. A person reads every one.
- Intro call. Thirty minutes to get to know each other and talk through the role.
- Practical step. A short task scoped to a few hours, or a walkthrough of work you have already done.
- Team conversation. Meet the people you will work with and ask us anything.
- Offer. A clear written offer, usually within a week of the final conversation.
What we offer
- Remote-first work with flexible hours around a few shared collaboration hours.
- Real ownership of production systems, not an endless ticket queue.
- Performance bonus and a compensation review every year.
- Paid leave and public holidays, with leave encashment.
- A learning budget for courses, books, and certifications.
- Support for the hardware and tools you need to do your best work.
