A fast-growing technology company in the restaurant-tech space is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to take a leading role in building next-generation, high-scale systems.
This is a pure Backend role – over 90% Backend development, with no real dependency on frontend work.
You will join a strong engineering team working on the company’s NEXT GEN core platform, including a highly complex search and matching algorithm that evaluates over 2,000 restaurants in real time, with extreme performance and availability requirements.
This role is ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys end-to-end ownership, ambiguous challenges, and building systems from scratch using the most advanced technologies available today.
What You’ll Do
-
Design, build and own backend services end to end – from architecture to production.
-
Lead development of high-scale, high-performance microservices using Node.js and NestJS.
-
Take full ownership of complex, non-defined tasks and turn them into production-ready solutions.
-
Build and improve a next-generation search algorithm operating at massive scale.
-
Work in a distributed, microservices-based architecture with strong performance and reliability constraints.
-
Optimize system performance, latency, scalability and uptime.
-
Act as a technical owner of major components and products, not just a task executor.
-
Actively use AI tools to improve development velocity, code quality and problem solving.
What We’re Looking For
-
5+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer.
-
Strong hands-on experience with Node.js, preferably with NestJS.
-
Proven experience designing and building microservices and distributed systems.
-
Experience building systems from scratch, not only maintaining existing code.
-
Strong understanding of performance optimization, scalability and high-availability systems.
-
Ability to lead tasks independently and take full responsibility for outcomes.
-
Passion for AI and frequent, practical use of AI tools in daily development.
-
Experience working in high-scale production environments.
Why Join
-
Work on a real NEXT GEN product with complex algorithmic and architectural challenges.
-
True ownership over meaningful backend systems.
-
Cutting-edge tech stack and engineering-driven culture.
-
High-impact role in a company scaling rapidly in Israel and internationally.
-
Hybrid work model and a strong, senior engineering team.
