Software Engineer, Backend (Node.js)

About the role

You will own the Node and TypeScript services that carry all of it, which means the importers that move a company's history without losing a comment, the integrations that keep two systems agreeing about the same issue, and the queues and workers underneath both. You will also own the developer surface external builders use to write apps against Plane, so the quality of your API decisions shows up in other people's software.

What you'll do

• Own the importers that migrate a customer's history out of Jira, Linear
• Design the queue and worker architecture behind that work: retries, idempotency, backpressure, and the jobs that must never run twice
• Build the OAuth and developer-facing surface that external builders write apps against, including the agent apps that act inside customer workspaces
• Work daily with the Django engineers whose data model you write into, and answer external developers in public GitHub issues
• Reconcile state after something failed halfway. Partial imports, expired tokens, and rate limits mean real time goes into repair paths rather than new features

What you need

• 1–3 years in software engineering
• Node.js
• TypeScript
• PostgreSQL
• Git
• NestJS
• Wiring
• Any graduate

Good to have

• Python
• AWS
• Redis
• Kubernetes
