ARIVE

Backend Engineer

• Architect, develop, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs and backend services using Node.js and TypeScript, powering mission-critical loan origination workflows.
• Design efficient database schemas and optimize queries and migrations across PostgreSQL and MongoDB; implement caching strategies (e.g., Redis) for high-throughput workloads.
• Build, test, and deploy containerized applications with Docker; deploy and operate services on AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, SQS).
• Partner with DevOps to strengthen CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and observability (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting).
• Champion system reliability, performance, and secure coding best practices — our platform handles sensitive borrower data, and we operate in a SOC 2 Type II environment where security is a first-class engineering concern.
• Partner with our Support team as an engineering point of contact for escalated production issues at scale — triage, root-cause, and resolve end-to-end, then land the permanent fix, alerting, and runbooks so issues don’t recur. Drive performance optimization across the backend and data layers.
• Coordinate daily with our India-based engineering team — handoffs, code reviews, and design alignment — keeping core hours of 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM PT to maximize morning overlap.
• Lead technical design sessions and code reviews, mentor mid-level engineers, and contribute to product planning and architectural roadmaps.
