About the Role
Zorqiva is an early-stage startup building modern digital products. We are looking for a Junior Backend Developer who enjoys building the APIs, services, and data systems that power reliable web and mobile applications.
You will work closely with our engineering, product, and mobile-development teams to ship real features, improve the platform, and grow quickly in a hands-on startup environment. We are looking for someone who is curious, reliable, detail-oriented, and excited to learn by building.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain backend services using Node.js and JavaScript or TypeScript.
- Design, develop, test, and document REST APIs for Zorqiva web and mobile applications.
- Work with databases to store, retrieve, update, and secure application data.
- Integrate backend services with mobile applications, frontend features, and third-party APIs.
- Implement authentication, authorization, validation, error handling, and secure data-access patterns.
- Debug backend issues and help improve service reliability, performance, and scalability.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
- Collaborate through GitHub pull requests, code reviews, and product discussions.
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on Node.js or backend-development experience through projects, internships, freelance work, coursework, or previous roles.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript, Node.js, and asynchronous programming.
- Familiarity with REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes, and JSON data.
- Familiarity with at least one database system, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, or Supabase.
- Working knowledge of Git and pull-request-based development workflows.
- Understanding of core backend concepts, including API design, data modeling, authentication, authorization, validation, and error handling.
- Strong communication skills, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and willingness to learn.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, remote startup environment.
- Currently located in the United States and authorized to work in the United States.
- Zorqiva cannot provide current or future employment visa sponsorship for this role.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Express.js, NestJS, Fastify, or another Node.js backend framework.
- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Prisma, Sequelize, Mongoose, Firebase, Supabase, or Redis.
- Familiarity with JWT, OAuth, role-based access control, password hashing, and secure API design.
- Experience deploying backend services using AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Vercel, Render, Railway, Docker, or similar platforms.
- Familiarity with unit testing, API testing, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, or error-tracking tools.
- Experience building backend services for mobile apps, SaaS products, startup products, or customer-facing applications.
Why Zorqiva
- Work directly on backend systems that power real product features.
- Learn through hands-on development, mentorship, code reviews, and technical feedback.
- Take ownership early in a growing startup.
- Work remotely with flexible scheduling and agreed collaboration hours.
- Base salary of $45,000–$60,000 per year, depending on skills and experience.
