Back End Developer

Backend Engineer

We're hiring builders—of systems, scale, and legacy.

If you're a backend engineer who dreams in distributed systems and finds peace in the hum of load balancers at 2 a.m., this might be the place for you.

At Shyft , a fast-growing Web3 SaaS company, we are rethinking how modern platforms scale— from the metal up . Our infrastructure runs on bare metal, giving us full control over performance, cost, and reliability. We're looking for engineers who don't just tolerate complexity, but thrive in it.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop robust backend services using TypeScript , Go , and optionally Rust.
• Deploy and scale Kubernetes clusters , manage HAProxy / Nginx load balancers , and run databases and message brokers like PostgreSQL , ClickHouse , Kafka , and RabbitMQ —directly on bare metal.
• Build high-performance infrastructure from the ground up—where every CPU cycle, disk write, and network hop matters, because you control the whole stack.
• Own the DevOps lifecycle : design and maintain CI / CD pipelines , manage infrastructure deployments , implement observability tooling, and set up monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• Tune systems for massive read / write concurrency , troubleshoot complex production issues, and write clean, scalable code.
• Own your services end-to-end—from local development all the way through production operations and incident response.

What Excites Us About You

Bonus Points

We don’t do cookie-cutter engineering.

We're not a plug-and-play cloud shop—we design , we build , we own . If you want to solve real problems with real ownership, and build infrastructure that feels engineered, we’d love to hear from you.
