Job description
(Remote — North America, LATAM or Europe)
We are hiring Senior & Staff Backend Engineers to join the core engineering team building Nango’s platform and developer infrastructure. This is a critical role at the heart of the company: as a product-led business selling to developers, our engineers directly drive the product roadmap, specifications, and execution. You will own core systems end-to-end, from ideation and design to implementation and close collaboration with developer customers, shaping both the platform and how Nango evolves.
What You’ll Do
- Design and scale backend systems, APIs, and services for our open-source platform.
- Build world-class developer interfaces: APIs, SDKs, UIs, and a runtime that delights developers.
- Collaborate directly with customers to solve integration challenges.
- Optimize performance, scalability, and reliability across backend services.
- Shape the roadmap and company strategy with high ownership of key decisions.
- Engage with the open-source community, owning and maintaining our repo.
Who you are
- 5+ years (senior-level) or 10+ years (staff-level) of backend engineering experience, with proven ability to scale high-traffic systems.
- Deep experience with developer infrastructure, APIs, databases, and performance-critical systems.
- Passion for developer tools, best practices, and building outstanding DX.
- Comfortable with Node.js and modern backend stacks.
- Product mindset and developer empathy: you optimize for DX.
- Based in North America, LATAM or Europe.
If you’re a seasoned backend engineer who loves developer infrastructure, thrives on ownership, and wants to shape the future of integrations — we’d love to hear from you.
