About the job

Join Our Team as a Senior Node.js Backend Engineer

At Povio, we are dedicated to addressing startup challenges with a global impact. Since our inception in Y Combinator, overcoming startup hurdles has been part of our identity. We develop digital products that foster positive change and collaborate with innovative clients like The Pump, Queue, and LATCH, among others.

If you aspire to engage with leading tech companies across the United States and Europe, this opportunity is for you!

We are on the lookout for a Senior Backend Engineer to enhance our team in Ljubljana, Belgrade, Celje, Maribor, Prishtina, or Sarajevo.

Our mission is to craft solutions with clean, high-quality code. Last year, our backend engineers faced a range of exciting challenges:

  • Leveraging AI to automatically generate customized reports based on user-provided data;
  • Developing a real-time messaging system capable of processing millions of messages daily using Node.js and WebSockets;
  • Creating a serverless architecture using Node.js and AWS Lambda for a high-traffic NFT platform;
  • Employing cutting-edge AI technologies (like ChatGPT) to semi-automate a significant client’s content generation system.

Why Choose Povio?

  • A role within a company that prioritizes engineering excellence and autonomy;
  • Focus on continuous improvement and cross-departmental collaboration;
  • Work with global clients while primarily adhering to EU time zones;
  • Engagement in developer meetings to discuss technology and share experiences;
  • One-on-one meetings with team leads for mutual feedback;
  • Access to tech support through comprehensive Wiki resources, on-demand help desk, and available stack leads;
  • Opportunities for professional growth, exposure to new technologies, and a chance to make a meaningful impact.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Develop applications using a modern web stack with a focus on Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS;
  • Code, test, and maintain Node.js based services;
  • Analyze systems, design, and deliver assigned projects;
  • Continuously explore, assess, and integrate new technologies to enhance development efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in web development, including a minimum of 3 years with JavaScript-based technologies;
  • Excellent communication skills;
  • Proficient in server-side development with Node.js, particularly in creating RESTful APIs using the Express.js framework;
  • Leadership abilities and team management experience;
  • A collaborative mindset and a humble attitude;
  • Experience with AWS, basic DevOps practices, and scaling infrastructure for user growth;
  • Strong SQL knowledge.
