About Us
At VibeIQ, we pioneer the future of digital collaboration with our innovative suite of apps built specifically for product teams. Our mission is helping companies that design, manufacture, or sell products work more effectively, enable a better work-life balance, and reduce their environmental impact.
Position Summary
We are seeking a backend engineer to join the Implementation Engine team. We are a small, focused team that owns the systems powering how customers get onboarded and implemented on our platform. The team's surface area is broad: we own the developer ecosystem (CLI, app extensions, event-driven functions), system configuration (data models, permissions, rules), and system understanding (usage analytics, data health).
Essential Functions
- Design, build, and ship tooling that make customer implementation faster and cheaper
- Work in tight iteration loops with the Product Manager, taking loosely specified problems from idea to shipped software quickly
- Drive quality, reliability, and scalability improvements across our infrastructure
- Own features end-to-end, from technical design through deployment and monitoring
- Uphold and evolve our software engineering standards, including code quality, testing, CI/CD, and security practices
- Collaborate with teams across VibeIQ to improve our product, architecture, and engineering practices
Required Experience
- Roughly 4+ years of backend or full-stack engineering experience, preferably in cloud-based environments (AWS or similar)
- Familiarity with modern backend/cloud technologies such as AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3
- Proven ability to architect scalable, maintainable backend systems (ideally using Node.js or TypeScript)
- Strong problem-solving skills across distributed systems. You can effectively research problems, weigh approaches, and design complex solutions
- A demonstrated pattern of rapidly ramping in unfamiliar technical domains
- Excellent written communication and collaboration skills across engineering, product, and external stakeholders. Using agentic coding tools as a core part of how you build and ship software
Bonus Experience
- Building products integrated with AI agents (MCP servers, agent-driven workflows)
- Building tools for other developers, such as internal platforms, CLIs, SDKs, or extension systems
- Exposure to event-driven architectures: DynamoDB streams, SQS/Lambda patterns
- Exposure to observability tooling and practices: OpenTelemetry
- Small-team or early-stage experience where scope was broad and ownership was real
