À propos

Staff Backend Engineer We’re looking for a Staff-level Backend Engineer to help design, build, and operate the core systems behind our product. This role is both highly hands‑on and highly influential—you’ll lead projects end‑to‑end while actively contributing to feature development and platform evolution.
Who we are
Rodeo is on a mission to help friends be better friends with their friends.
We’re an experienced team with deep 0-1 social experience (Hinge, Facebook, Duolingo) and we enjoy working together in Soho.
Since we launched our private beta in November 2025, we’ve brought in tens of thousands of engaged users, earned millions of organic views through our content, earned placements in Forbes, WIRED, Rolodex Media, As Seen On, Business Insider, and are building Rodeo every single day with a community of people as passionate as we are about touching grass + being better friends to our friends.
You can find Rodeo in the app store (use code SAMIAM)
Who you are Killer IC talent
You have excellent craft—know your tools inside and out
Strong backend-as-a-product sense
Creative first principles thinker
Strong communicator since you are the interface between frontend and backend
Been exposed to multiple languages, frameworks, and distributed systems—you have well‑developed assessment and comparison muscles
Ready to operate at 0 to 1
Thrive on vague context, open possibilities
Light process that drives progress
Focus on velocity and super low iteration latency
Ambitious and hungry
What You’ll Do
Lead and deliver projects spanning both product features and core platform work
Design, build, and ship backend features end‑to‑end, not just architecture
Architect and evolve event‑driven, distributed systems
Own system design decisions across multiple services and domains
Build and maintain Node.js backend services within a microservice architecture
Drive operational excellence: observability, monitoring, alerting, and reliability
Use tools like Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar to understand and improve production systems
Design, query, and optimize Postgres schemas and data access patterns
Mentor engineers and raise the bar for backend engineering practices
Partner closely with product, infra, and leadership to balance speed, quality, and scale
What We’re Looking For
Prior Lead IC experience; 8+ years of backend engineering experience (or equivalent depth)
Comfortable being both a technical leader and an active contributor
Proven experience leading complex backend projects from design through production
Architectural leadership
Strong experience building event‑driven architectures in production
Deep understanding of microservice architectures and their operational tradeoffs
Hands‑on contributions
Hands‑on experience with asynchronous applications; we use Typescript/Node.js
Comfortable with relational databases, including performance and schema design; we use Postgresql
Operations
"Operational Excellence" is a term in your vocabulary
Practical experience with observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, etc.)
Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (IoC)
Nice to Have
Experience with GraphQL
Heroku, Google Cloud platform, or AWS
Experience with Kubernetes
Kafka
Why This Role
Meaningful ownership over both what gets built and how it’s built
Direct impact on customer‑facing features and foundational systems
A role that values strong technical judgment, not just delivery
Our Stack We use the simplest architecture possible with no frills. This lets us focus on velocity while our product feature set is rapidly evolving. As we grow, we scale our stack as needed. You don’t need to have deep experience with all of these but you do need to be willing to dig in.
Protocols : GraphQL, REST, Node.js, event‑driven architecture
Languages : Typescript, SQL
Data : Postgres, Redis, Firebase
Deployment : GitHub, Heroku, Docker
Monitoring : Sentry, Mixpanel, Betterstack
