About the Role

CapIntel is hiring a Senior Backend Developer to take ownership of the systems that power our core product. You’ll play a critical role in enhancing the performance, reliability, and scalability of our platform, while contributing to features that drive meaningful experiences for thousands of users.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment, enjoys building APIs that solve complex problems, and brings a product-minded approach to backend engineering. While this is a backend-focused role, familiarity with frontend frameworks is expected, and you may occasionally support frontend integration within our MERN stack.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design and development of scalable backend services using Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, and NoSQL databases like MongoDB.

  • Architect and optimize RESTful API integrations that support enterprise-level scale, performance, and security.

  • Collaborate with frontend engineers to ensure seamless API consumption and user-facing feature delivery.

  • Own the deployment, monitoring, and reliability of backend services on AWS, with a focus on performance, observability, and cost-effectiveness.

  • Contribute to and uphold code quality standards through code reviews, documentation, and mentoring of intermediate developers.

  • Write robust unit and integration tests, ensuring backend stability across evolving product requirements.

  • Work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and fellow developers to translate requirements into scalable backend solutions.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of professional backend development experience, with advanced proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript/JavaScript.

  • Deep experience working with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or other production-grade databases.

  • A track record of building and maintaining secure, performant RESTful APIs, ideally in a product-focused or B2B SaaS environment.

  • Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure, especially AWS, and experience managing deployments, environments, and monitoring.

  • Passion for clean code, testing, and automation, with hands-on experience writing comprehensive unit and integration tests.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, product, and design teams.

  • A product-first mindset—you think beyond code and care deeply about the end-user experience.

Bonus Experience

  • Familiarity with serverless architecture (e.g., AWS Lambda).

  • Experience optimizing CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.

  • Python scripting or experience with data processing pipelines.

  • Exposure to frontend frameworks like React.js and collaborating within a full-stack MERN environment.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
