📄 Eredeti hirdetés megtekintése (EN)

Hex's Foundations team builds and evolves the application-level infrastructure that powers Hex, owning shared backend systems, frameworks, and primitives that other teams depend on. The role seeks a Senior Backend Software Engineer to design, maintain, and evolve the core systems used across Hex: APIs, realtime communication, data access frameworks, job orchestration, and internal admin tooling. You'll work closely with product engineering teams, turn common patterns into robust, reusable systems, and raise the quality bar across the backend. Frontend experience is helpful but the role is primarily backend-focused. Hex's stack: frontend in Typescript and React with Apollo GraphQL and Redux for state; backend in Typescript powering an Express/Apollo GraphQL server interacting with Postgres, Redis, and Kubernetes to manage Python kernels; infrastructure and CI/CD using Terraform, Helm, and AWS.
