Tech stack

Languages: TypeScript, Node.js (18–22)
-

-
Databases: DynamoDB, PostgreSQL

Your role at xpate:
-
Build and evolve Lambda-first microservices that handle real money flows and integrations.
-
Design REST APIs with type-safe schemas (Zod) and contracts that don’t rot.
-
Model data in DynamoDB (access patterns first) and use PostgreSQL when relational fits better.
-
Ship event-driven workflows with SQS/EventBridge/Step Functions: retries, idempotency, dead-letters, backpressure.
-
Ensure observability: structured logging (Winston), distributed tracing (AWS X-Ray), actionable metrics.
-
Write tests that protect releases (Mocha/Sinon), keep quality bars high, and reduce regressions.
We’re ready to meet you, if…
-
You have strong hands-on backend engineering experience in TypeScript / Node.js.
-
You have real AWS production experience — not “used Lambda once”, but built, operated, debugged, and fixed systems in production.
-
You have the ability to ship fast without trashing quality: clean code, predictable delivery, and solid engineering fundamentals.
-
You use AI tools daily to accelerate output (coding, debugging, analysis) and improve outcomes.
-
You have English at B2+ level (the team is English-speaking).
What working at xpate looks like:
-
A competitive salary (depending on what you bring).
-
Everything you need to succeed, with flexibility built in — from flexible hours and hybrid/remote work options to private health insurance and paid time off.
-
Top-of-the-line Apple gear to fuel your work.
-
A workspace designed for focus and collaboration.
-
Ownership of your work end-to-end, with the freedom to move fast and make a real impact.
-
Celebrated wins, opportunities to grow and a culture where voices are heard and chances to grow are ever-present.
