#### About the role

We meet the customers where they are from Applicant Tracking Systems to communication tools such as Slack and Zoom. Integration is a critical part of the business and is one of the many reasons why customers choose HackerRank.

#### Who you are

• An experienced engineer with 3+ years in the field, including 2+ years building and maintaining production systems in TypeScript and Node.js.
• A technical leader with at least a year of experience guiding projects or mentoring teammates.
• Someone who holds a high bar for code quality, testing, and operational reliability.
• Comfortable using AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT to move faster and ship better code.

#### Even better if you have

• Run temporal in production, and worked with Nest.js to build reliable, scalable services.
• Hands-on experience with AWS or similar cloud infrastructure, and familiarity with enterprise integration patterns and ATS platforms.
• Built internal tooling or automation powered by AI/LLMs to reduce manual effort and improve developer productivity.

#### You'll thrive in this role if

• Designing complex systems excites you, and you deliver impact with every commit.
• Operational excellence and reliability are principles you care deeply about.
• Collaboration is second nature, you've worked across teams to drive meaningful outcomes.
• You hold yourself and others to a high bar of engineering excellence.

#### Compensation

The base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $160,000, plus a target 10% annual bonus tied to individual and company performance. You will also receive equity (stock options) and a comprehensive package of cash and non-cash benefits.
