Role Overview,

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Tech department, specifically the Engineering team. You’ll be part of a growing team of over 50 people working across engineering and data. Our stack includes TypeScript with React and Node.js, with Java used for some specific projects.

At Qualifyze, software engineering is more than just writing code, it’s about shaping the future.

On our team, you’ll focus on shortening feedback loops, building scalable solutions, and maintaining clear communication with the business. You’ll champion clean architectures, solid testing strategies, and domain-driven design principles to ensure we deliver real value, every step of the way.

Main responsibilities,  

• Guide backend architecture, testing, and technical decisions across teams, ensuring scalable, high-quality delivery and adherence to best practices.

• Hands-on experience with event-driven systems.

• Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL.

• Nice to have: experience designing systems with security and compliance by default, following best practices for regulated environments.

• You’ll be working in an international environment, so daily communication will be in English.
