Senior Fullstack Engineer

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of engineering and product to shape how users build with Hygraph. You'll ship features that solve real customer problems, contribute to the CMS core, extend platform capabilities, and help bring AI-powered features to life.

What you'll do

• Evolve the GraphQL-native CMS powering enterprise teams worldwide, improving performance, reliability, and developer experience.
• Develop and maintain extensions that expand what customers can do with Hygraph.
• Contribute to the AI roadmap by building intelligent capabilities into the product.
• Use monitoring data, customer feedback, and product instinct to identify and fix problems proactively.
• Collaborate in a cross-functional, autonomous team to deliver features from rough prototypes or early concepts rather than polished designs.
• Translate business needs into technical solutions by working closely with the Product team and occasionally participating in customer conversations.
• Proactively identify issues through monitoring and observability data, then fix them.
• Contribute to architectural decisions that keep the platform scalable, reliable, and maintainable.

What you'll need

• Significant experience (typically 6+ years) building and owning production systems, with strong full-stack skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and deep backend expertise in scalability and performance fundamentals, ideally Node.js.
• Experience building user interfaces, ideally with React.
• Experience developing well-tested APIs with GraphQL.
• Solid knowledge of relational databases, especially PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.
• Active use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or similar) in your workflow.
• Familiarity with cloud-native development (AWS, GCP).
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling (New Relic, Datadog, or similar).
• Ability to work with ambiguity, rough prototypes, and evolving requirements using judgment and experience.

Nice to have

• Experience with Golang.
• Knowledge of infrastructure as code tooling (Pulumi, Terraform).
• Experience working directly with customers or in customer-facing roles.
• Familiarity with headless CMS platforms or content infrastructure.

What they offer

• Remote-first, globally distributed team environment.
• Yearly learning budget to attend training and conferences.
• Collaborative culture with focus on transparency and accountability.
