About JobFinder AI

JobFinder AI finds relevant openings for job seekers across company career sites and job boards, scores each job against what the candidate is looking for, and helps them apply. We're a small, founder-led team — you'll talk to the founder directly, and decisions happen in hours, not committees.

The role

You'll own the backend that collects hundreds of thousands of job postings, keeps them fresh, and turns them into matches and applications for our users. Your code reaches real users within days of writing it.

What you'll work on

APIs and background workers in TypeScript and Node.js
Postgres: schema design, query performance, and migrations on tables with hundreds of thousands of rows
Ingestion pipelines that pull jobs from job boards and company career sites, then clean and deduplicate them
Queues and scheduled jobs for matching, emails, and payments
Monitoring, logging, and fixing production issues when something breaks

What we're looking for

0–2 years of experience — internships and strong projects count
Solid TypeScript or JavaScript on Node.js, or strong backend experience in another language
Comfortable with SQL and relational databases
You write code that's easy to read, and you test it before shipping
Clear written communication

Nice to have

Python, for scraping and data scripts
Experience with Linux servers, process managers, or Docker
Something you built that real people actually use

Why you'll like it here

Fully async, fully remote — work whenever you do your best work, from anywhere with 4+ hours of overlap with IST
No surveillance: no timesheets, no screenshots, no keystroke trackers
Salary posted upfront — no lowball games, no 6-round interview gauntlet
You own features end to end, from design to production
Learning budget for courses, books, and conferences
20 days PTO you're actually expected to take, plus your local public holidays

How we work

Async-first — written updates, daily standups
Small team, flat hierarchy — no Jira theater
