Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js + AWS)

About us

At Siena we are revolutionizing the customer service industry with the world's first autonomous AI customer service agents. We are a remote-first startup that's passionate about enabling machines to engage in delightful and empathic conversations. Siena is the first of its kind, designed to work out-of-the-box to interact with customers across all channels from a single platform.

If you're excited about AI and the intersection of human-to-machine communications, and want to be part of a team who is driving innovation and making a real impact, then come join us in pushing the boundaries of AI and CX.

Some of our values

  • Customer First: It's not just about solving issues or closing deals. We're in the business of understanding our customers so well that we can anticipate their needs and blow their minds.
  • Straight Talk: Communication isn't just a checkbox for us—it's our operating system. We say what we mean, mean what we say, and have no hidden agendas or sugar-coating..
  • Question & Disrupt: We do things that have never been done before—not for the sake of being different but for being radically better.
  • Act with Agency: We don't wait for permission or perfect conditions. We evaluate the situation, make our best call, and go for it.
  • Raise the Bar: We're not just meeting standards, we're aiming for setting them.
  • Fast & Fearless: We move quickly but thoughtfully, and view mistakes and failures as stepping stones, not setbacks.
  • Driven by Curiosity, Fueled by Growth: We ask the questions no one else is asking, dive deep, and come out the other side better for it.
  • Synergy Over Solo: We value collaboration over individual achievement. When we work together, we're unstoppable. We're not just co-workers; we're co-creators.

The role & what you'll be doing:

In the role of senior backend engineer, you own projects end to end. Ownership is yours - take over new and existing product features.

  • You'll contribute with ideas and constructive feedback to the product's development from the roadmap all the way to architecture.
  • You'll develop and collaborate closely with the Product team to slice and dice scope and deliver piece by piece.
  • Building products: 80% of time by building new software products, or improve existing features.
  • Mentorship: you have the ability to mentor and lead other members about 20% of time if you have an appetence for it.
  • Problem-solving: you unblock yourself and other team members when they hit a roadblock.

Join the team if you:

  • Have previous experience working on the backend for 4+ years - ideally with NodeJS, Typescript & Express
  • Are familiar with the AWS cloud system. (EKS, ECS, Fargate)
  • Have experience working with Postgres (or similar)
  • Have experience with CI/CD (GitLab, Github, Jenkins or similar)
  • You are product-focused and have the ability to build microservices products by understanding the business and customers.
  • You have the drive and focus to get challenging projects over the finish line while meeting deadlines.
  • You love solving problems and writing elegant code.
  • You are proud of your microservices architecture skills. But don't like to brag.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment.
We're not aiming for expert levels in Node.js, but rather cross-language minded engineers that view and use stacks as problem-solving tools, not the solution.

Impress us even further:

  • You have a high degree of technical knowledge around scaling systems.
  • You have been in a startup from Seed to exit.
  • You have experience working in remote teams.

Benefits

🏠 The flexibility to work from anywhere. Even if it's just from the comfort of your own bed (because let's face it, who doesn't love a good WFH situation?)

🌞 Flexible working hours. Because who said you can't design your day on your terms?

💸  Competitive salary and stock options. We offer highly competitive salaries and equity, because we're building this together.

🌴 Unlimited PTO. With unlimited paid time off and a minimum of 15 days off per year, you'll have plenty of time to explore the world (or just your couch).

📖 Growth stipend. An annual budget to continue learning and expanding your horizons. It's like getting a raise without having to ask for it. We invest in you, so you can continue to invest in yourself.

At Siena, we’re not just looking for people who can do a job. We’re looking for people who want to break boundaries, create the future, and reshape industries. If that’s you, we look forward to your application.
