ABOUT TRIGGER.DEV
Trigger.dev http://Trigger.dev is the platform for running reliable AI agents and workflows. Developers use it to build, deploy, and scale production systems with built-in tools for orchestration, scheduling, monitoring, and debugging.
Our Cloud product is a managed service where we deploy our users' code and auto-scale from zero to millions of executions. Today, we serve thousands of teams building AI apps and agents, handling hundreds of millions of executions per month.
ABOUT THE POSITION
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help us build our Open Source and Cloud product. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, and cloud infrastructure. This role requires both technical depth and the ability to think strategically about our platform's future.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
You'll do a variety of things including:
- Designing and implementing SDK and platform features. Shipping new capabilities end to end, from API surface to production rollout.
- Database design. Developing database schemas and data models that hold up as the product scales.
- Query performance and data access. Creating and optimising query performance and data access patterns.
- Building backend systems that stand up to production load. Reliability, throughput, and durability are part of the job, not someone else's.
- Scalable APIs and services. Designing and implementing API endpoints and services that handle real customer traffic.
- Security as a default. Applying security best practices in everything you ship.
- Monitoring, logging, and debugging. Implementing the observability tooling that lets us spot problems and fix them fast.
- Architecture and technical roadmap. Contributing to architectural decisions and shaping where the platform goes next.
We build in public, so you can see some of the things you might work on here https://feedback.trigger.dev/.
