About the Role

Staffing Science is seeking an experienced backend-focused cloud engineer who thrives in designing and deploying scalable, cloud-native applications. You should have deep expertise in TypeScript, Kubernetes, and Docker, with a strong emphasis on backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and distributed architectures.
In this role, you will develop and optimize mission-critical cloud-native applications that operate across public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise environments. You will help build self-hostable enterprise solutions, aiding developers and organizations in efficiently scaling their AI-driven applications. If you’re passionate about high-performance backend systems, Kubernetes orchestration, and DevOps automation, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and develop scalable, self-hostable cloud-native applications that run across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Design and implement backend infrastructure, APIs, and system integrations that support high-scale developer workflows.
  • Optimize containerized deployments with Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm, ensuring high availability and seamless automation.
  • Lead best practices for intra-application communication, distributed systems, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Collaborate closely with open-source contributors, enterprise teams, and cloud engineers to create flexible developer tools.
  • Build infrastructure that enables millions of developer interactions while ensuring security, performance, and scalability.
  • Own deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring a cloud-agnostic design.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong backend engineering expertise in Node.js / TypeScript (5+ years).
  • Deep Kubernetes experience — container orchestration, Helm charts, cluster management.
  • Hands-on Docker expertise — optimizing containerized environments.
  • Experience designing self-hosted and cloud-native applications that operate in hybrid cloud/on-prem environments.
  • Strong AWS experience — understanding of cloud-native patterns and infrastructure design.
  • High autonomy; capable of leading and executing complex projects with minimal guidance.
  • Deep understanding of intra-application communication and backend system optimization.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience with Azure and GCP — multi-cloud deployment expertise.
  • Background in DevOps, CI/CD automation, and cloud security.
  • Experience building developer tools, SDKs, and open-source platforms.
  • Strong grasp of distributed computing and scalable backend architectures.
  • Experience working with LLMs or AI-native infrastructure.
  • Python experience for backend automation and AI-driven integrations.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on a high-impact open-source and enterprise cloud-native platform used by developers and enterprises globally.
  • Be part of a hyper-growth AI-native startup backed by top Silicon Valley VCs.
  • Build next-gen cloud-native developer infrastructure while working alongside the industry’s best engineers.
