The Wakapi team is growing! We’re on the lookout for a new Wakaper to join us as our next Backend Engineer. Think you’re the right fit? Let’s make it happen!

The Role:
We are rethinking a core part of the grocery industry—one that’s long overdue for innovation. Millions of families are struggling to afford essentials, and we’re building a platform to help make groceries more accessible and affordable. If you’re passionate about purpose-driven technology and eager to build systems that have real-world impact, this could be the right opportunity for you.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend applications and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, and Postgres.
  • Architect backend systems for high scalability, availability, and performance.
  • Integrate third-party services and APIs to expand platform functionality.
  • Develop internal tools supporting operations, workflows, and machine learning initiatives.
  • Collaborate with frontend, product, and data teams to deliver impactful features rapidly.
  • Ensure security, testing, and proper documentation of all backend systems.
  • Optimize infrastructure for a fast-growing user base with high performance expectations.

    Requirements:

    • 5+ years of experience as a Backend or Fullstack Engineer.
    • Strong expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Azure Search.
    • Proven success in building and scaling eCommerce or marketplace platforms.
    • Deep understanding of cloud platforms (Azure or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
    • Experience designing robust enterprise-level APIs that integrate seamlessly with mobile applications.
    • Solid coding practices: reusable components, test-driven development, and scalable architecture (e.g., event-driven, microservices).
    • Comfortable iterating quickly in a fast-paced startup environment while maintaining high-quality standards.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly.
    Key Competencies
    - High initiative and attention to detail.
    - Strong time management and ability to handle multiple priorities effectively.
    - Excellent interpersonal and cross-functional collaboration skills.
    - Critical thinking and adaptability to changing priorities or challenges.
    - Strong organizational skills and independence.
    - Ability to work with minimal supervision and use sound judgment to meet goals.
    - Comfortable navigating team structures and contributing across departments.
