À propos de ce poste Senior Backend Engineer (Taipei) chez Nitra
We're seeking a full-time Senior Backend Engineer with a strong product-oriented mindset to help scale the systems powering our healthtech platform. You'll be at the center of our engineering efforts — architecting for scale, failure, and change, and building features that hold up under real-world edge cases, not just the happy path.
System design and operational maturity will be core to how you ship: writing correct, readable code, thinking through how things break after they're live, and knowing how you'd catch it at 2am. Ideal candidates are technically strong with a solid system design foundation, demonstrate a clear product mindset and startup mentality, and bring great communication and interpersonal skills — able to explain hard ideas to non-experts, scope a vague need into a shippable v1, and collaborate well across functions.
(📍 Taipei-based, on-site 4 days a week, with willingness to work across time zones including nightly calls)
Your responsibilities will include:
You have:
- JavaScript
- Node.js
- Express.js framework
- APIs
- Databases (PostgreSQL)
- Able to have flexible working hours to collaborate with our NY office at night
- A collaborative spirit and the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders. Highly collaborative and transparent in your work, output, and decision making.
- The ability to see challenges as opportunities to level up. High-achieving and goal-oriented. A self-starter, you are always able to understand the bigger picture, and take a leading role to impact it.
- A winning mindset and entrepreneurial spirit.
- Passion for creative thinking and bold ideas for growing the business/enhancing customer experience. Always curious, ready to ask questions, and open to being questioned.
- Expert time management and organizational skills.
- The desire to be mentored by a unicorn founding CTO and engineers with experience at top notch companies like Facebook.
