📋 Description

• Mimica's mission is to empower enterprises, teams, and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource — time and work more efficiently, with greater purpose and impact. • Our AI-powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. • Mimica’s process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritizes improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI), and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work. • In this role, your mission will be to enhance and scale the backend systems powering the Mimica platform (MERN stack). • This means designing and implementing a scalable architecture, developing and optimizing backend services and APIs, improving the performance and reliability of existing components, and taking operational responsibility for what you build. • As a member of our early engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape our technical direction, processes and culture. • Contributing to architectural decisions and collaborating across teams to identify and implement product improvements. • Developing and optimizing a real-time backend service that enables multiple users to edit graph data and re-train AI models through their input. • Creating libraries and building APIs in our Node.js backend to interact with the various ML components of the system. • Diagnosing fault-tolerance and availability issues, as well as performance bottlenecks, and resolving them. • Refactoring our components and services and producing documentation for your implementations. • Providing feedback to peers through pair programming and code reviews and helping those around you to level up. • Participating in hiring and onboarding new team members; taking on end-to-end project management responsibilities as we grow.

🎯 Requirements

• Background in backend engineering, focusing on developing high-performance production software and scalable architectures. • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, and experience using modern frameworks and technologies (e.g., Docker, K8s) to build high-throughput, low-latency systems. • Practical experience in designing APIs and managing databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB), with a keen eye for query optimization and efficient data storage & handling. • Firm grasp of distributed systems concepts and techniques – microservices, load balancing, caching, horizontal/vertical scaling and stateless architectures. • Commitment to upholding high engineering standards, prioritizing code quality, maintainability, reliability, and security. • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills – methodically decomposing systems to identify bottlenecks, determine root causes and implement effective solutions. • Drive to continually develop your skills, improve team processes and reduce debt. • Fluency in English, with effective communication skills – articulating complex ideas, concepts, and trade-offs clearly.

🏖️ Benefits

• Generous compensation + stock options — aligned with our internal framework, market data, and individual skills. • Distributed work: Work from anywhere — fully remote, in our hubs, or a mix. • Laptop, remote setup stipend, and co-working budget • Flexible schedules and location • Ample paid time off, in addition to local public holidays • Enhanced parental leave • Health and retirement benefits • Annual L&D budget • Annual workaways and regular virtual & in-person socials • Opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects that shape the future of work
