Description

We’re hiring a freelance mid-level backend developer to join our 100% remote, talented, energetic small team at MelodyIQ. We build music analytics tools trusted by the world’s top record labels. The code you ship will directly shape how global campaigns are run for the world’s biggest artists.

Timezone : Prioritising candidates located between Europe and Australia, with at least 4 hours of daily overlap with Central European Time (ideal : Eastern Europe).

What You’ll Do

  • Debug and fix bugs in production with care and precision
  • Improve reliability and performance of backend systems
  • Build internal automations and tools to make life easier for the team
  • Write and maintain tests that keep our systems fast and dependable
  • Take part in database migrations, CI improvements, and dependency upgrades
  • Monitor dashboards and proactively flag potential issues
  • Ship pragmatic solutions, not over-engineered ones
  • Refactor existing JavaScript code into TypeScript and clean up legacy code (if applicable)

Example Tasks You Might Work On

  • Setting up Grafana dashboards to monitor key metrics
  • Reducing GCP costs through smarter infrastructure decisions
  • Migrating GCP Gen1 to Gen2 cloud functions
  • Improving CI / CD deployment processes
  • Cleaning up old / unused database tables
  • Upgrading our PostgreSQL instance
  • Optimizing PostgreSQL queries
  • Who We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience as a backend or full stack engineer
  • Strong written communicator (we’re async and remote-first)
  • Comfortable working autonomously day to day
  • Trustworthy, conscientious, and detail-oriented
  • Pragmatic : proud of your code but focused on simplicity and maintainability
  • Curious and eager to learn, especially in a fast-moving SaaS startup
  • Previous experience in fully remote async teams is a plus
  • Required technical skills

  • Very experienced with large PostgreSQL databases in a work setting
  • Node
  • Typescript / JavaScript
  • At least basic React
  • Nice to have technical skills

  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Redis
  • GitHub Actions
  • Grafana / Prometheus
