Senior Software Engineer — Node.js / Serverless Cloud & API Integrations

Do you want to help shape a modern, scalable HR platform used by organisations worldwide?

At HR-ON we’re looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer who enjoys building cloud-native services, optimising data workflows, and—yes—crafting solid API integrations … but treats these as just one part of a varied engineering role.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build core backend services in Node.js & TypeScript running on AWS serverless infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, etc.).
• Model and optimise data in PostgreSQL and MariaDB, ensuring performance and reliability at scale.
• Develop and maintain GraphQL & REST endpoints that power our own product features and partner integrations.
• Evolve the platform architecture for resilience, observability, and easy maintenance.
• Automate CI/CD pipelines with GitLab and champion clean-code practices through code reviews and pair-programming.
• Collaborate with product, frontend, and DevOps peers to deliver end-to-end features that delight our users.
  
  
  

API and third-party integrations remain important, but they sit alongside core service development, data engineering, and architectural work.

About You

You’re an experienced engineer who:

• Writes production-grade Node.js/TypeScript and understands modern serverless patterns.
• Knows your way around SQL—from schema design to complex query optimisation.
• Has built GraphQL or REST services and integrated external systems, even if integrations aren’t your sole focus.
• Uses GitLab (or similar) for version control, CI, and automated tests.
• Thinks in terms of scalable, maintainable architecture and values knowledge-sharing with teammates.
  
  
  

Bonus Points

• AWS infrastructure-as-code (CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Bash/Zsh scripting on *nix systems.
• A fondness for type-safe, declarative coding styles (e.g. fp-inspired TypeScript).
  
  
  

We don’t expect you to tick every box—curiosity and a growth mindset matter most.

Why HR-ON

• High autonomy & influence over tech choices and ways of working.
• Value-based self-management—trust, transparency, and flexibility come first.
• Central Odense office with remote options; we still value regular in-person collaboration.
• 50 passionate colleagues across Denmark, Germany, Norway, and Japan, united by a flat structure and meaningful work.
