Job Description

Senior Full stack Backend leaning / Realtime Engineer (GCP • Node.js • Firebase)


About the role

Own the backend for a real-time ETA dairy/food delivery/collection , multi-tenant platform that streams live location data and delivers accurate ETAs at scale. You’ll design and build reliable, low-latency services, keep third-party API costs in check, and mentor team.

What you’ll do

  • Design and implement a

    multi-tenant

    backend (orgs → devices→ ordered stops).
  • Build

    real-time pipelines

    : ingest batched GPS updates, validate/rate-limit, publish to subscribers.
  • Compute

    ETA updates

    efficiently (mix of client-side progress + selective server recalculation).
  • Keep costs predictable for

    maps/routing APIs

    (batching, caching, cadence control, budgets/alerts).
  • Write

    tests

    , set up CI/CD, add logging/metrics, and keep the app stable.
  • Write

    secure access controls

    and data rules; prevent cross-tenant access.
  • Ship with strong

    observability

    (structured logs, dashboards, alerts) and automated tests.
  • Review PRs, set coding standards, and guide dev team.

Must-have skills

  • 3+ years backend experience building

    real-time or event-driven

    systems in production.
  • Node.js + TypeScript

    with a framework like

    NestJS

    or Express.
  • Hands-on with

    Google Cloud

    : serverless functions, containerized services, pub/sub messaging, secret management, monitoring.
  • Firebase

    : Auth, Firestore/NoSQL, Realtime listeners, and security rules

    or

    equivalent experience with AWS/Supabase + websockets.
  • Practical integration with

    routing/ETA APIs

    (Google Maps) and strong cost-control habits.
  • Solid grasp of

    idempotency, backpressure, batching, retry policies

    , and data modeling.

Nice to have

  • Postgres/

    PostGIS

    or other SQL ; Redis 
  • Experience sharding workloads, running load tests, and tuning cold-start/latency.
  • OSRM/Valhalla basics, Terraform, Sentry, BigQuery/Looker
  • Prior work on mobility, logistics, ride-hailing, delivery, or transit.
