Backend Engineer (NodeJS) - Afternoon shift

Budapest, Hungary

Engineering

Full-time

hybrid

Our vision is simple yet powerful: we want to create a place where engineers thrive, taking on exciting projects and using the latest technologies, free from the shackles of legacy solutions.

Thanks to the diverse range of industries we work with, our days are never boring: from world-class apps to AR solutions or even programming robots, we’ve got it all covered. We don’t just write code for our screens; rather, we develop impactful products used by millions every day: let them be large-scale public transport applications, leading fintech platforms, or storage solutions contributing to a greener future.

We are a team of 100+ engineers (Java, JavaScript, Android, iOS, NodeJS and dotnet platforms) and QA engineers with our coding fingers at the ready working on the next big thing. We value openness, modesty, hard work, and simple yet great solutions.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer with a strong problem-solving mindset to join a team working with a US-based dental/medtech client. This is not a typical feature-factory role — and it's not a support role either. You'll work on real production issues, dig into root causes, and deliver long-term engineering solutions that stick. You'll build tools and features that directly support dental practices across the US, contributing to mission-critical software used daily by healthcare providers. The role runs in afternoon/evening hours (16:00–24:00 CET) to align with US business hours, keeping you close to where the action is in real time. You'll be embedded in our core product engineering team, reporting to our Principal Technology Lead, and collaborating closely with a group of senior engineers on some of the most technically challenging and impactful work the platform has to offer, combining backend development, DevOps troubleshooting, and hands-on problem solving with real-world impact and plenty of variety.

Our vision is simple yet powerful: we want to create a place where engineers thrive, taking on exciting projects and using the latest technologies, free from the shackles of legacy solutions.

Your day to day will include:

Solving real production issues on an AI clinical toolset – configuration problems, connectivity issues, and system failures that need immediate resolution
Developing new features and internal tooling to improve the platform and reduce future issues
Building and maintaining RESTful APIs and backend services using NodeJS
Troubleshooting Windows environment issues – dental practices run on Windows, and you'll need to understand this ecosystem deeply
Working with infrastructure built on AWS, Google Cloud, OpenAI and resolving Tailscale networking issues
Participating in code reviews and maintaining high code quality standards
Collaborating directly with US-based stakeholders, including customer success and operations teams
Writing clean, maintainable code that integrates with CI/CD pipelines
Bringing an architectural perspective to planning and design discussions

What makes you thrive here:

3+ years of hands-on experience with NodeJS building backend applications, microservices, and RESTful APIs
Strong experience working in Windows-based environments, including services, permissions, deployments, and PowerShell scripting
DevOps mindset with hands-on experience using AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch) and Docker
Experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and ORMs such as Prisma
Familiarity with modern backend frameworks and tooling (NestJS, Jest or similar)
Experience with networking and VPN solutions (Tailscale or Cisco is a strong plus) and general infrastructure debugging
Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to get to the root cause of complex issues
Excellent English communication skills, as you'll also be working directly with the US-based founder CEO, and customer success team
Ability to work independently during US business hours, with a high level of ownership and accountability
