About the Company

Chekhub is a leading SaaS provider delivering clarity and efficiency to mission-critical operations. Our platform optimizes task management, resource allocation, and operational analytics to meet the evolving demands of modern industries. From a promising startup to a key player in the technology sector, Chekhub continues to expand its reach and capabilities, empowering data centers and operational teams worldwide.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to lead the development of the services behind Chekhub's platform. You'll work closely with product and the front-end team to design the APIs, data pipelines, and cloud services that mission critical teams rely on every day. This is a hands-on lead role where you'll shape backend architecture, help guide how AI is built into the platform, and advise other engineers as the team grows.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure backend services and APIs across Chekhub's platform.
  • Serve as the backend lead, owning architecture decisions and advising peers as the platform and team scale.
  • Partner with product and front-end engineers to translate requirements into features shipped end to end.
  • Drive reliability, performance, and code quality across services and data.
  • Other tasks, duties, and responsibilities as assigned or as business needs require.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in backend development, ideally within a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Strong proficiency in Node.js, Express, and server-side JavaScript.
  • Hands-on experience with MongoDB and Google BigQuery (or similar NoSQL and SQL databases), including aggregation, indexing, and multi-tenant schema design.
  • Proven experience designing and building RESTful APIs within a microservices architecture.
  • Experience with event-driven systems and messaging (RabbitMQ or similar), caching (Redis), and real-time updates (WebSockets).
  • Solid understanding of authentication, authorization, and security best practices.
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or similar cloud providers, and CI/CD practices (GitLab CI or similar); Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) a plus.
  • Familiarity with AI tools for productivity (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar).
  • Self-starter who can operate with autonomy in a fast-paced, startup environment.
  • Must be located in the Raleigh, NC area.
  • Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Chekhub is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas for this role.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience building AI-powered features or internal tooling, such as LLM integrations, agents, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Experience designing AI system architecture, including model selection, context and prompt design, and evaluation.
  • Experience training, fine-tuning, or deploying models with Google Vertex AI or similar AI/ML platforms.
  • Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm).

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits, including 100% paid employee medical insurance.
  • Direct ownership over backend architecture, including how AI is built into the platform.
  • A team that values creativity, speed, and getting things done.
