  • Go full penguin: Navigate, script, and manage processes in Linux environments
  • Automate all the things: Build schedulers, background workers, and async workflows
  • Ship clean code: Write testable, maintainable, and well-documented backend modules
  • Collaborate & contribute: Join sprints, do code reviews, and drop knowledge in team sessions
  • Deploy with confidence: Help build & maintain CI/CD pipelines for seamless releases

  • Git: Branch like a pro, merge with grace


Bonus Points If You Know:

  • Docker or containerized deployments
  • Event-driven architectures or message queues

You'll Shine If You Have:

  • A relevant IT degree or diploma
  • 8-10 years of backend experience with TypeScript + Node.js
