Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Backend Engineer (Workflows) - **Company:** CARTO - **Location:** Spain (Remote available) - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, BigQuery, Cloud Database, Software Quality, Code Review, Directed Acyclic Graph (Directed Graphs), Information Engineering, PostgreSQL, Node.Js, Oracle (Applications), Performance Tuning, SQL Databases, TypeScript, Data Logging, ReactJS, Large Language Models, Snowflake, Backend, Containerization, Front End Software Development, Api Design, Azure Synapse Analytics, Serverless Computing, Amazon Redshift, Databricks - **Published:** May 21, 2026 - **Apply:** https://es.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=a021036d5cd40728 ## About the Role Do you have experience in UX?, * 5+ years of backend engineering experience shipping production systems at scale. * Deep database expertise with at least one of our primary warehouses: BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks or Oracle. You can read an execution plan, spot a bad join, and reason about partitioning, clustering and cost before the query hits production. * Experience with TypeScript and Node.js in a production backend context. * Nice to have: frontend fluency. You can move fluidly into a React/TypeScript codebase to own a feature end-to-end, unblock yourself on API contract issues, or quickly prototype UI for new components. * Comfort in a serverless and cloud-native environment, with practical experience with GCP or AWS * Hands-on experience building with AI. You've already shipped features powered by LLMs, embeddings, agents or AI-assisted tooling in production - not just experimented on the side. * Strong opinions about software quality. You write tests not because you're told to but because you've seen what happens when you don't. You document what matters and keep it current. * A collaborative, low-ego approach to engineering. You give direct feedback in code reviews, ask good questions when you don't know something, and make the people around you better. ## Description * Own the design and evolution of core backend services that power workflow execution, scheduling and orchestration across multiple cloud data warehouses. * Translate visual DAGs into efficient, warehouse-native SQL and procedural code, pushing computation down to where the data lives. * Build and maintain integrations with BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Azure Oracle, Postgres and Synapse - including connection management, query execution, error handling and cost/performance optimization. * Extend the component catalog with new analytical building blocks and design the SDK that lets customers and partners contribute their own. * Improve reliability and observability of long-running, scheduled and event-triggered jobs: retries, idempotency, lineage, logging, metrics. * Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, Data Engineering and QA to ship features end-to-end, from API design to UX behavior. * Integrate AI tools pragmatically throughout your development workflow - not as a checkbox, but as a genuine productivity multiplier in how you design, build, and test. ## Related Videos - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
