Senior Backend Software Engineer - Node.js/TypeScript

At Makai Labs, we are redefining the relationship between humans and technology by building intelligent systems that adapt to the way people actually work. We believe that technology should be an intuitive partner rather than a rigid set of rules, and we are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to help us bridge that gap. In this role, you will be at the forefront of our human-machine teaming initiatives, leveraging your expertise in Node.js and TypeScript to architect scalable, high-impact backend solutions that empower businesses to solve complex operational challenges with precision and speed.

We are searching for a technical visionary who thrives on building robust systems that prioritize reliability while embracing the fluidity of real-world data. As a key member of our engineering team, you will dive deep into our tech stack to design efficient APIs, optimize data pipelines, and ensure our platforms remain as agile as the users they support. If you are passionate about crafting clean, maintainable code and want to apply your backend mastery to solve problems that truly matter, Makai Labs offers the perfect environment to push the boundaries of what AI-driven software can achieve.
