Job Description
We are building a powerhouse Cloud/Platform team in Krakow, and we are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be a part of this group. You will play a crucial role in architecting, implementing, maintaining, and scaling a massive multi-tenant SaaS distributed ecosystem, migrating on-premise components into a modern cloud architecture. You will partner closely with our Architecture team to shape the technical direction, acting as the ultimate subject matter expert (SME) for Node.js.
We are looking for a highly adaptable, heavyweight engineer who is "hot on code" and loves being deeply hands-on.

- A Technical Influencer: You elevate the team's engineering standards by example, providing technical guidance, prototyping architectural solutions, and acting as a sounding board for complex design decisions.
(Note: While this role is heavily focused on backend engineering and cloud infrastructure, we operate with a strict 'You Build It, You Run It' culture. End-to-end ownership is key, and you will occasionally dive into the frontend (React) to deliver complete features).
What You Will Do:- Drive the Cloud Transition:Play a hands-on role in designing, building and running multi-tenant SaaS applications designed specifically to take full advantage of cloud-native architecture.
- Architect & Build Distributed Systems: Tackle the most complex technical challenges and influence the design of high-throughput backend services and distributed systems, ensuring seamless data flow across Cloud, On-Premise, and Edge layers.
- Write Exceptional Code: Write sharp, scalable, and maintainable code. You will help set, evolve, and maintain the highest engineering standards and system design practices across the team.
- End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of your features - from technical design and backend coding to automated deployment and production monitoring.
- Collaborate & Accelerate: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior peers across MSI and D-Fend to leverage shared expertise, unblock technical challenges, and deliver results rapidly.
In return for your expertise, we’ll support you in this new challenge with coaching & development every step of the way.

- The Core Stack: Expertise in Node.js and TypeScript (including frameworks like NestJS or Express). You are highly hands-on and write extremely clean, scalable code.
- Cloud & Observability: Strong experience designing and building event-driven microservices in a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and implementing modern Cloud Observability patterns (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging).
- Data & Infrastructure: Solid proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL), in-memory caching (Redis), and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
- End-to-End Ownership: Practical experience with (or a strong willingness to touch) React to help the team deliver complete, end-to-end features when necessary.
Big Advantages (Bonus Points):
- Infrastructure as Code: Experience treating infrastructure as software using Terraform, AWS CDK, or Serverless Framework.
- AI Tooling: Experience enriching and optimizing development using dev-assisting GenAI tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude or Cursor).
- Security & ZTA: Knowledge of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and mTLS.
- Data Scale: Experience with time-series telemetry pipelines and long-term storage tiering.
- Observability: Experience implementing and utilizing observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog).
- System Design Excellence: Proven track record of actively contributing to system architecture, making high-level design choices, and solving hard distributed systems problems.
