Job Details

Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Backend-Oriented)

  2025-11-14     Drug Hunter     Portland,OR  
Description:

We're looking for a full-stack engineer who's most excited about backend systems, data modeling, and infrastructure. You'll join a small, collaborative team that builds the technology behind Drug Hunter's platform.

This role is mostly remote, but our team gets together periodically in person to plan, collaborate, and build together. We're a small group, so everyone wears multiple hats and contributes where the need is greatest. That said, your focus will be on backend-related projects such as APIs, data integrations, and infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop APIs and backend services (NestJS/Node.js, Python)
  • Implement and maintain data models and integrations between systems
  • Build and manage background job queues (BullMQ, Redis)
  • Work across the stack when needed (e.g. connect backend APIs to front-end apps)
  • Set up and maintain development and QA environments across the stack
  • Deploy and operate services in Docker and Kubernetes
  • Monitor and optimize system performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Automate workflows and infrastructure tasks (Python, Bash)
  • Collaborate on architecture for scalable, maintainable backend systems

Nice to Have

  • Experience with distributed systems, queues, and caching
  • CI/CD pipeline experience
  • Cloud platform familiarity (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean)
  • ETL or data pipeline experience
  • React Native Experience (Expo)

Benefits

  • Join a fast-growing company making a real impact in drug discovery
  • Work with a sharp, passionate, mission-driven team
  • Shape the software development at a high-growth inflection point
  • Competitive salary and equity, healthcare, 401(k), flexible PTO, and remote-friendly culture
