Job Purpose

We’re building intelligent platforms that automate and optimize construction and geospatial workflows — and we’re looking for a Backend Architect with deep expertise in Node.js, cloud-native architecture, and high-load distributed systems.

This is a hands-on, senior-level role where you’ll lead the design and scalability of complex backend services — with a strong focus on AWS cloud efficiency, performance, and resilience at scale.

What You’ll Do
- Lead architectural decisions related to cloud infrastructure (AWS) — optimizing for cost-efficiency, scalability, and resilience
- Define and enforce engineering best practices across backend teams
- Work with DevOps and SREs to ensure production systems are reliable, observable, and easily maintainable
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, frontend, and data teams to shape end-to-end solutions
- Drive architectural reviews, documentation, and mentoring across the engineering organization

What We’re Looking For
- University degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
- 10+ working experience in Software Development field.
- 6+ years of backend development experience, with at least 3+ years architecting large-scale systems in Node.js / TypeScript
- Proven track record building and scaling high-load, cloud-native systems in production
- Deep understanding of AWS services (e.g., ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, CloudWatch) and cost-efficient architecture design
- Strong knowledge of microservices, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and message-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Experience with both NoSQL and relational databases and their performance tuning in large-scale environments
- Solid grasp of software architecture principles: domain-driven design, event sourcing, clean architecture
- Excellent communication skills and ability to drive technical discussions in English
- Comfortable working in distributed, cross-cultural teams

Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience optimizing cloud cost at scale using AWS Budgets, Graviton, or Spot Instances
- Exposure to Edge computing, real-time data streaming, or geo-distributed systems
- Familiarity with Terraform, Pulumi, or other IaC tools
- Background in geospatial, GIS, or construction tech is a plus
- Leadership experience in mentoring or scaling global engineering teams

Working Conditions

We offer a balanced work setup that combines in-person collaboration with flexibility:

- Office presence: at our Bologna office ( full time) 2 days per week
- Remote work options (Smart Working) available three days per week
