Senior Backend Engineer (DevX)

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer for the Developer Experience (DevX) Team at SMG Real Estate.

DevX is responsible for providing both the tools our development teams use to manage the lifecycle of our product and the experience of using them. You will get to collaborate and access the wealth of knowledge and experience from a community of amazing engineers who come from all parts of the globe and are ready to share their expertise and aid you in your path to fulfilling your potential.

Your Mission:

• Work with our engineers and leverage your own knowledge to understand the challenges they face and how to improve their experience.
• Contribute to our internal development platform (IDP) by designing, implementing, and maintaining internal tooling and systems.
• Leverage the engineering platform to support agentic coding.
• Help define processes, frameworks, and best practices for development.

• 5+ years of backend experience with TypeScript.
• 2+ years of experience implementing serverless event-driven microservice architectures in a AWS based stack (Lambda, SQS, SNS, API Gateway...).
• Experience implementing pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Solid experience in automated testing, using several strategies and paradigms.
• AI-first development mindset; you believe the value of your work comes not from coding, but owning production and having a product-oriented mindset, and are interested in leveraging AI and agentic coding to speed up the development lifecycle.
• Motivated to help engineers be more productive and have the best possible experience.
• Strong English communication skills.

Your application will stand out if you have:

• Previous experience in Developer Experience or Platform Engineering.
• Experience maintaining libraries and tooling.
• Experience integrating AI into engineering stacks.
