Senior Backend Systems Engineer

Amura’s Vision

We believe that the most under-appreciated route to unlocking human potential is by building a healthier body and through it, a better brain. A healthier brain can think sharper, feel deeper, and solve problems that today feel impossible. Billions of healthier brains, sitting in healthier bodies, can tackle complex global challenges and build a world that is more prosperous, more humane, and more beautiful than anything we’ve seen before.

We find this future exhilarating and our mission is to accelerate it. Everything we build, from our health programs to our technology platform, is designed to help people across the world realize the best version of themselves.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who can build, scale, and optimize the backbone of our HealthTech platform.

This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with ownership, speed, and a desire to create meaningful human impact through technology.

You will work on complex engineering problems, build high-performance services using Node.Js , and own backend modules end-to-end — from design to deployment — in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Build scalable backend services, APIs, and microservices using Node.Js and frameworks such as Express or Nest.Js .
• Own modules end-to-end : architecture → implementation → testing → deployment .
• Write clean, modular, optimized, and testable code with a strong emphasis on performance and maintainability.
• Design efficient data models for relational (PostgreSQL / MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis).
• Implement caching strategies, background jobs, and queue-based processing (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, etc.).
• Optimize systems for performance, scalability, and reliability , especially under high load.
• Troubleshoot production issues, conduct RCA, and strengthen system stability.
• Partner with DevOps for CI / CD, deployment automation, and environment management.
• Work closely with product, mobile, operations, and AI teams to convert requirements into high-quality backend features.
• Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, best practices, and continuous improvement of the codebase.
