Node JS Backend Developer — Build the Future of Business Communication from Sardinia Contract: 3 months, with strong potential to extend into a long‐term remote role. Location: On‐site in Sardinia, Italy — flights & accommodation fully covered. Stack: Node.js · Mongo DB · GCP. The opportunity We're building new features for a business communication and customer support platform used by companies around the world. For the first three months, you'll fly to Sardinia and work side‐by‐side with our CEO, shipping real features that shape how millions of conversations happen between businesses and their customers. If it clicks (and we expect it will), the role continues remotely beyond three months. What you'll do Architect and ship backend services that power live messaging, automations, and support tooling at global scale. Design APIs, tune Mongo DB against real production data, deploy on GCP, own features end‐to‐end. Write clean code, ship it, iterate. Some new features are already at the prototype stage and need your skills to connect the backend and go live.
What we're looking for Strong hands‐on Node.js experience with shipped production services. Deep Mongo DB knowledge – schema design, indexing, aggregation, performance tuning. Comfortable on GCP – Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, IAM. Fluent with modern AI dev tools – Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, agentic workflows. A real shipping record – features in production that users actually touch. Curiosity – reading changelogs, trying new tools, updating your workflow. Clear written English and a collaborative style. Able to relocate to Sardinia for the initial three months. Who this isn't for If AI‐assisted coding makes you roll your eyes, or you've written code the same way for five years with no interest in changing, this won't fit. We want builders who are still hungry, still learning, and still excited about what they can ship this quarter that wasn't possible last year. Nice to have Real‐time systems (Web Socke
