Staff Backend Engineer
Morpho
• Build and maintain reliable, high-performance backend services and APIs that power Morpho’s consumer and business-critical features. • Design, build and operate backend services in TypeScript/Node and GraphQL, delivering reliable, low-latency user-facing experiences. • Model data, evolve relational schemas (PostgreSQL) and optimise for correctness, performance and maintainability. • Collaborate with frontend, product, protocol, risk, and security teams to ship end-to-end outcomes. • Monitor, troubleshoot and improve production systems: focusing on observability, incident response, reliability, and operational excellence. • Simplify systems: reduce complexity, pay down tech debt, standardise patterns. • (For more senior levels) Drive cross-team initiatives, sponsor technical design, mentor engineers, and become the go-to owner for critical backend domains.
Job Requirements
- Senior Level: ~3-5 years building backend systems, working with GraphQL APIs and relational databases (especially PostgreSQL).
- Staff Level: ~8-10+ years of backend development, leading cross-team designs and shipping large ambiguous projects; deep strength in data modelling, performance optimisation and production operations.
Benefits
- Expect fair, top-tier compensation
- real flexibility
- time together in Paris
- great health coverage
- support to keep learning
