Job Description
Senior Software Engineer, Backend
EdVisorly
• Design, build, and scale the systems that power student–university interactions. • Own critical APIs and services that enable real-time data, automation, and integrations. • Drive improvements in reliability, performance, and security across distributed systems. • Automate onboarding and workflows by building ingestion jobs and database-driven configurations. • Partner with product, frontend, and data teams to design and deliver impactful features. • Work closely with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to ensure seamless school deployments. • Contribute to system design discussions, technical decision-making, and mentorship within the team. • Champion best practices in testing, code quality, and CI/CD automation. • Proactively identify bottlenecks and scale systems to handle high-volume data and transactions. • Stay ahead of emerging frameworks, cloud technologies, and AI-driven tools to keep us innovative.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience — ideally in SaaS, EdTech, or high-growth startup environments.
- Strong in Node.js (our core), but fluent enough to learn and adapt — whether that’s TypeScript/Express, Python/FastAPI, or other modern stacks.
- Built and scaled RESTful APIs (GraphQL a bonus) and know how to keep them clean, secure, and fast.
- Worked across databases (Postgres, Redis, or NoSQL) and can design for scale, reliability, and performance.
- Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure fine too) and can navigate Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform without blinking.
- Care about automation and pipelines — cutting manual steps by building config-driven systems, ETL, and ingestion workflows.
- Build with a security-first mindset — you know your way around OAuth2/OIDC, role- and policy-based auth, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, FERPA).
- Touched CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry) — and you know they’re not “nice to have,” they’re table stakes.
- Thrive on architecting distributed systems and microservices that balance complexity with simplicity.
- Bonus points if you’ve played with AI/ML integration (OpenAI, Hugging Face, vector search like FAISS/pgvector) or have a knack for developer productivity hacks using AI tools.
- Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and loves the challenge of building 0→1.
- Collaborator at heart — sharing knowledge, giving feedback, and celebrating wins with the team.
Benefits
- We’re solving a high-stakes, high-impact problem — helping institutions remove friction and students unlock brighter futures
- You’ll have real ownership in a high-velocity, early-stage environment with direct influence across the company
- You’ll help shape the future of a category-defining company, working alongside smart, ambitious, mission-first operators
- You’ll do the most meaningful work of your career, leaving a lasting legacy in how higher education serves students
