Backend Engineer (TypeScript/React + AWS Cloud) - MongoDB / NoSQL Data Systems

VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents.Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video — research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering — in under an hour. No timelines. No editing headaches. Just intent ? finished video.We're building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we're already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams.If you're excited about AI, creator tools, and building category-defining products from first principles, you'll fit right in.We're looking for a backend engineer to help build and scale the infrastructure behind VidRush, a video generation platform. You'll work on a TypeScript/Node.js serverless backend where code quality and thoughtful design are first-class priorities.What you'll do:Own and deliver backend features end-to-end, from API design through deploymentSolve interesting problems across video generation pipelines, AI integrations, and billing systemsShape the architecture of services that power our core product workflowsContribute to a codebase that prioritizes long-term maintainabilityCollaborate closely with the team on technical decisions, code reviews, and continuous improvementRequirements:2–7 years of professional backend engineering experienceStrong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.jsHands-on experience with AWS in a serverless contextSolid experience with MongoDB or other document databasesExperience with Stripe or similar payment/billing platformsFamiliarity with serverless frameworks (e.g., SST, Serverless Framework)Experience writing unit and integration tests with Jest or similarUnderstanding of RESTful API design and middleware patternsComfortable with Git workflows, CI/CD, and code quality toolingSpecialization in NoSQL database design, document modeling, performance, and strong real-world MongoDB experienceNice to Have:Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, CDK, Terraform)Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging patternsBackground in layered architecture patterns (Clean Architecture, hexagonal, ports & adapters)Experience with modern web frameworks like HonoInterest in AI/LLM technologies and experience integrating with AI APIsFamiliarity with agentic AI systems and frameworks like MastraWhat We Value:Craftsmanship: You care about code quality, testing, and maintainability — not just making it workArchitectural discipline: You respect layer boundaries and established patterns rather than taking shortcutsPragmatism: You ship working software without over-engineeringOwnership: You take features end-to-end, from design through productionAI-accelerated development: You actively use tools like Cursor, Copilot, and LLMs for scaffolding, tests, refactors, and debugging — without outsourcing your judgmentCuriosity about AI: You're excited about the intersection of backend engineering and AI capabilitiesNote: whilst we're a global company working remotely, we prefer to hire from Turkey — as most of our Engineering team is localized there.J-18808-Ljbffr
