About the role

Design and build robust API endpoints, database schemas, and server-side logic for Skaly's SaaS platform. You will work with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Prisma in a production environment serving clients across multiple countries.

Why this role matters at Skaly

Your code runs in production immediately. No sandboxes, no toy projects. You'll own real database tables, real API routes, and real client data — with the support of a senior team.

What you will do

  • Build and maintain RESTful API routes using Node.js / Next.js API routes
  • Design and manage PostgreSQL database schemas with Prisma ORM
  • Implement authentication, authorization, and data validation
  • Write comprehensive tests for API endpoints
  • Collaborate with front-end developers to define and document API contracts
  • Optimize database queries and server-side performance
  • Handle integration with third-party services (payment gateways, email, storage)
  • Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews

What we are looking for

  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design principles
  • Working knowledge of Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Familiarity with SQL databases and basic query writing
  • Understanding of authentication patterns (JWT, sessions)
  • Ability to read and write clean, maintainable code
  • Good written English for async communication

Nice to have

  • Experience with Prisma ORM or similar
  • Familiarity with serverless functions (Vercel, AWS Lambda)
  • Knowledge of email sending (SMTP, SendGrid, Nodemailer)
  • Prior work on a multi-tenant SaaS application
