Junior Backend Developer

• *Role Overview**

We are looking for a Junior Backend Developer to join our engineering team. You will work closely with senior engineers to build and maintain the server\-side services that power the product. This is a hands\-on, growth\-focused role: we expect solid fundamentals in JavaScript/Node.js, and we will help you ramp up on our project stack (NestJS) on the job. The right person is curious, takes feedback well, and wants to grow into a strong backend engineer by shipping real features in production.

• *Key Responsibilities**

• Build and maintain backend APIs and services under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Write clean, readable, and testable code in JavaScript / TypeScript.
• Work with databases to store, query, and manage application data.
• Integrate third\-party and internal APIs into the backend.
• Debug, fix, and test issues across the services you work on.
• Participate in code reviews and sprint ceremonies, and learn the team's conventions.

• *Must\-Have (Required)**

• **Around 1 year** of backend experience — internships, freelance, or strong personal/academic projects all count.
• **Solid JavaScript fundamentals** and a working understanding of Node.js (the runtime, async behaviour, npm).
• Basic understanding of how REST APIs and HTTP work.
• Basic familiarity with MongoDB and writing simple queries.
• Comfortable using Git for version control.
• Good problem\-solving instincts, willingness to learn, and clear communication.

• *Good to Have (Any of these is a plus, none required)**

• We don't expect juniors to know our project stack on day one — we'll train you on NestJS. Any prior exposure to the below is a bonus, not a barrier:*

• **TypeScript** — any hands\-on experience.
• **NestJS or Express** — exposure to any backend framework.
• MongoDB.
• Authentication concepts (JWT, OAuth 2\.0\).
• Docker basics, or any exposure to a cloud platform (AWS / GCP / Azure).
• Basic Unix/Linux command\-line comfort.
• Familiarity with testing tools (e.g. Jest) or project trackers (Asana, Jira, Notion).

• *What This Role Is**

• A genuine entry point for someone with strong fundamentals who wants to grow fast.
• Mentored, with real code review and ownership of features that ship.
• A clear path from Junior toward mid\-level backend engineering.

• *What This Role Is Not**

• Not a role that requires prior NestJS experience.
• Not a senior or solo\-ownership role — you'll work under senior guidance.
