We’re creating the ultimate destination for our sports, and we’re looking for people like you to join us!
THE ROLE As a Staff Backend Engineer at FloSports, you’ll be a key technical leader shaping how our backend systems evolve. You’ll take on complex, high-impact initiatives that strengthen our platforms—particularly around distributed systems, identity, and service reliability.
This role goes beyond writing great code. You’ll help define the technical direction of major platform components, mentor senior engineers, and work closely with product and leadership to design solutions that scale across our ecosystem. You’ll bring deep experience in authentication and authorization frameworks (OAuth, OIDC, RBAC/ABAC) and in the architecture and modernization of distributed identity and access systems, paired with strong technical expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and modern frameworks like NestJS and Fastify, as well as a solid foundation in cloud-based architecture on AWS.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Drive modernization efforts across our platform—improving how identity, access, and authorization are handled across systems.
Lead architecture and development of backend services that are scalable, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Design APIs and event-driven workflows that enable clear communication between services and products.
Provide technical mentorship, guidance, and code reviews that raise the bar for the entire engineering team.
Leverage AI-driven tools and automation to improve quality, consistency, and development velocity.
Build and maintain backend services using TypeScript, NestJS, and Node.js, ensuring strong testing practices with Jest, Vitest, and Supertest.
Apply a strong understanding of AWS services (Aurora, EventBridge, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc.) to design reliable and performant distributed systems.
Partner with engineering and product teams to deliver technical solutions that support key business goals.
Champion best practices around security, testing, CI/CD, observability, and service ownership.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Extensive experience designing and scaling distributed systems and service-oriented architectures.
Deep understanding of authentication and authorization frameworks (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, RBAC/ABAC) and experience modernizing or re-platforming identity and entitlement systems.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, including advanced design patterns and maintainable code practices.
Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, Aurora, Firestore).
Proven success building and maintaining RESTful APIs and event-driven systems.
Solid understanding of AWS services and cloud-native architecture.
Strong testing discipline and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.
Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to mentor engineers effectively.
Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering outcomes.
BONUS POINTS
Experience with SST or similar serverless deployment frameworks.
Familiarity with event-driven and asynchronous system patterns.
Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration.
Knowledge of data validation frameworks like Zod.
Experience working in an Agile environment and contributing to cross-team standards.
