Job Description

Posted on: August 20, 2026

Backend Engineer - Node.js / TypeScript

Location: Remote| Full-Time


Our hiring partner is pioneering a platform backed by $14M from top-tier investors, enabling enterprises to deploy authenticated AI agents for mission-critical workflows.


Their technology solves a fundamental challenge: securely accessing and transforming data trapped behind complex authentication barriers. We’ve automated weeks-long manual processes into minutes for industry leaders. Join our growing team to build the infrastructure that makes every business system AI-accessible.


Your Mission

Architect core systems that allow AI agents to securely navigate authenticated environments—from dynamic web interfaces to legacy systems—transforming unstructured data into actionable intelligence at scale.


Key Responsibilities

  • Build Resilient AI Agents: Develop systems that automate complex logins (including MFA), extract unstructured data, and handle dynamic web interfaces without APIs.
  • Engineer Secure Foundations: Create authentication workflows for diverse platforms and scalable APIs for enterprise-grade solutions.
  • Design Data Infrastructure: Implement GCP-based data pipelines, optimize PostgreSQL performance, and ensure integrity for millions of records.
  • Ship End-to-End Systems: Develop third-party integrations, testing suites, and observability tools with a focus on reliability.
  • Collaborate Strategically: Work with senior engineers on system architecture and product teams to solve real customer challenges.


Tech Stack Deep Dive

  • Core: TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python
  • Infra: GCP, Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD)
  • Automation: Custom web agents, Puppeteer/Playwright (experience a plus)


Who You Are

  • 3+ years backend engineering experience shipping production systems.


Technical Mastery:

  • Proficient in modern backends (Node.js/TypeScript preferred)
  • Experience with REST APIs, cloud platforms (GCP/AWS/Azure), and databases
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines


Cultural Fit:

  • Autonomy: Own outcomes end-to-end in ambiguous environments
  • Craftsmanship: Balance best practices with pragmatic delivery
  • Curiosity: Continuously explore authentication, security, and AI/automation
  • Communication: Document decisions and align cross-functional teams


Nice-to-Haves

  • Data engineering/ETL pipeline experience
  • Knowledge of OAuth, SAML, or security protocols
  • Startup experience or open-source contributions
  • Monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)


Why Join

  • Impact Critical Infrastructure: Your code enables AI to access 90% of enterprise data currently locked behind logins.
  • Founder-Level Equity: Significant ownership in a well-funded startup.
  • Strong Team: Learn from former founders and early engineers who scaled 0→1 products.


For Builders of the AI-Authenticated Future

If you’re driven to solve foundational challenges at the intersection of security, AI, and enterprise systems—apply now. Let’s make every business system AI-accessible.
