You will be a key technical contributor building and scaling the backend services and data APIs that power our observability and analytics platform. You will own features end-to-end, from API design through deployment on Kubernetes, and collaborate closely with SREs, data engineers, and product stakeholders. You will be part of a team that is passionate about developing novel diagnostic tests for the early detection of cancers. As part of the team, you will be in a Company that aims more than to become one of the leaders in the industry. We want to have a huge positive impact on society by achieving the ambitious purpose of "making cancer a curable disease by detecting it earlier". How You'll Contribute * Design, build, and maintain production-grade NestJS APIs and backend services that serve internal and external consumers. * Own the full lifecycle of a service: schema design, business logic, observability instrumentation, Helm chart configuration, and GitOps deployment. * Write and manage database migrations using Prisma; ensure schema changes are safe for zero-downtime deployments. * Implement health endpoints, SLIs, and structured logging patterns that give the SRE team the signals they need. * Collaborate with data engineers to build APIs over Trino and data lake sources (S3/Glue/Iceberg), translating complex analytical queries into reliable, performant endpoints. * Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; treat CI green as a hard gate before merge. * Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and incident postmortems as a domain expert. * Mentor and coach junior engineers on NestJS patterns, API design, and service ownership. ## Related Videos - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
