You would design and maintain scalable backend infrastructure for high-volume messaging products and collaborate on building new products.
The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience focused on early-stage startups and proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS infrastructure.
The mission 🚀 Textla is revolutionizing the communication space. We are the first outbound operating system for SMS, allowing enterprise brands to leverage AI-first infrastructure to deliver campaigns at scale. Website: https://www.textla.com/ Our traction 📈 We are scaling quickly in a massive market. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage startup with meaningful traction, top-tier investors, and a small team moving fast. What you’ll do ⚡ • Own and build core backend systems that power highly scalable messaging infrastructure. • Design, ship, and maintain backend services that can handle billions of messages per month. • Move quickly from idea to production while maintaining a high bar for quality, reliability, and performance. • Work closely with a lean, highly technical team across engineering, product, and AI workflows. • Solve hard infrastructure problems at scale across routing, messaging, delivery, automation, and customer-facing systems. • Drive meaningful technical impact in a fast-growing, early-stage startup environment. Who we’re looking for 🔍 You are an A-tier engineer that will drive a big technical impact. You have a passion to lead the build on new innovative products from scratch with the customer experience in mind with every touch. We are a people-first company, and believe it’s the foundation from the smallest product feature to the biggest decisions about what we do as a company. Businesses are built by people, and we think they should be built for people, too. Requirements • 6+ years of software engineering experience with strong career velocity and technical ownership in early-stage (pre-seed to Series B) startups. • Strong backend engineering experience, ideally with Node.js and TypeScript. • Experience building scalable production systems. • Familiarity with AWS, especially SQS or similar queue-based infrastructure. • Ability to build from 0→1 and operate in a fast-moving startup environment. • Strong judgment around performance, reliability, and system design. • Frontend experience is a bonus, but this is primarily a backend role. • High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward shipping.
