OVERVIEW We are a technical advisory firm that partners with VC-backed companies to design, build, and scale their engineering foundations. We embed with our clients as a core part of their technical team, not as outside consultants handing over a document, but as engineers who own the outcome alongside them. Our current client is a VC-backed company operating in the auto logistics space. They're at an exciting and critical stage: they have product-market fit, they have backing, and now they need to build the production infrastructure to match their ambitions. We've been brought in to lead that build, and we're looking for a senior full stack engineer to join us for it. This is a greenfield backend API platform built in TypeScript on Node.js with Express or Fastify, and you'd be involved from the very beginning. That means shaping the architecture, setting the patterns, and building something that will need to handle real production load in a fast-moving, operationally complex industry. The backend we're building needs to be reliable, well-structured, and built to grow. If you want to do meaningful backend work on a greenfield codebase, in a real industry with real complexity, working with a team that has high standards, this is the opportunity. WHAT YOU'LL BE BUILDING A production-grade backend API platform in TypeScript on Node.js, using Express or Fastify. Because we're starting from scratch, the early decisions carry significant weight and you'll be part of making them. API architecture, project structure, middleware conventions, authentication approach, error handling, observability, data access patterns: these are all on the table and we want engineers who have opinions about them informed by experience. Day-to-day you'll be writing and reviewing TypeScript, contributing to architecture and design discussions, collaborating with the team on Slack, and joining at least one Zoom sync per week with the broader team and client stakeholders. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 5 to 10 years of professional software engineering experience with a strong backend or full stack background. Specifically: - Fluent in TypeScript with a solid working knowledge of the Node.js runtime, including async patterns, error propagation, and performance characteristics, not just the surface API - Hands-on Express and/or Fastify experience with real APIs built using them, a clear understanding of their trade-offs, and the ability to make informed structural decisions without needing to be guided - A track record of shipping and operating production systems, having been accountable for something running live, having handled production incidents, and thinking seriously about reliability, logging, and failure modes. - Comfort operating in a greenfield environment with some ambiguity, able to ask the right questions, help define what isn't yet defined, and take ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for a fully formed spec. - Strong English communication skills, written and spoken. We're a distributed team, async-first on Slack, and we interface directly with a client whose business is moving fast. Clear communication is as important as clean code US-based strongly preferred with meaningful overlap with US business hours required for team and client collaboration NICE TO HAVE - Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure) - Familiarity with authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC) - API versioning strategy experience - CI/CD pipeline experience - Domain familiarity with logistics, fleet management, or supply chain systems is a genuine bonus HOW WE WORK We are a tight team with high standards and low tolerance for vague communication or dropped balls. Slack is our primary channel, async-first with responsiveness expected during working hours. We sync on Zoom at least weekly, more often during active design and planning phases. We use Jira for our ticket management. You'll receive a Microsoft 365 account on hire for SSO access to all internal and client tooling from day one. We don't micromanage. What we do expect is proactive communication, early flagging of blockers, and the kind of ownership that comes naturally to engineers who treat a codebase as something worth getting right, not just getting done. On a greenfield project with a client at a pivotal growth stage, that distinction matters. HIRING PROCESS - Intro call (15 min) - the firm, the client, the project, your background, and your questions - Technical screen (if applicable, via Coderbyte) - Background check - standard criminal background check required for all hires, no exceptions - Offer and onboarding - Microsoft 365 account and full tooling access provisioned before day one HOW TO APPLY We read every proposal that makes a genuine effort. Please include: - A description of a production backend system you've built, including what it did, the scale it operated at, your specific contributions, and what decisions you made that you're proud of or would revisit today - Your honest assessment of your TypeScript and Node.js depth. We value specifics and self-awareness over a list of buzzwords Links to code, whether GitHub, open source contributions, a portfolio, or anything else that shows us how you think and work We work with companies at inflection points and we hold ourselves and the engineers we bring in to a high standard. If this project sounds like the kind of work you want to do, make that clear in your proposal and tell us why this domain, this stage, and this type of build appeals to you specifically.

Seeking proven and Node.js development experience to build a production-ready REST API backend that will authenticate to Microsoft Power BI via Azure AD service principal, generate time-limited embed tokens for secure dashboard rendering, and retrieve real-time operational metrics from Power BI datasets using DAX queries. The system will integrate with the Anthropic Claude API using healthcare-specific system prompts, persist all analyses and audit logs in PostgreSQL with immutable compliance tracking, and deploy to Azure App Service with robust error handling, logging, and monitoring. The engagement includes full integration testing and a comprehensive security review prior to launch. ⚠️ All data in the Lovable frontend is currently generated by React components using hardcoded mock objects. There is no backend API, no database persistence, and no real data sources. This is the scope of work for your backend engineer. The primary objective for the data engineer is to deliver a secure, multi-tenant backend, replace all mocked page data with live API responses, embed Power BI dashboards with row-level security, and stand up a Claude-driven analytical agent that operates over a governed semantic model. SUCCESS CRITERIA 1. All 3 endpoints deployed and tested 2. Frontend Dashboard.tsx renders real Power BI embed 3. Frontend AIInsights.tsx displays Claude analysis 4. ActionPlanContext replaced with server-backed CRUD 5. PostgreSQL audit log captures all API calls 6. Security review passed 7. Load test: 50 concurrent users, less than 300ms p95 8. Power BI RLS verified between test orgs 9. Documentation + runbooks delivered 10. Zero unhandled errors in production 11. Launch in mid-June 2026

Need to get a site (already built) up and running on my web server: Able to configure DNS, IIS, ColdFusion, and psbly (not required) NodeJS. Just looking for someone to guide me through a lengthy zoom session to get it done. May involve some configuring in CloudFlare. Minimum time billed: 1 to 3 hours.

I need a backend developer to deploy an already-written Node.js/Express server to Railway, connect it to an existing Supabase project, and complete a third-party OAuth/webhook integration with the Garmin Connect API. This is a deployment and configuration task, not a build task. Expected time: 3–6 hours for someone experienced with this exact stack. What’s already done • Server code is fully written (Express routes for OAuth callback, webhook receiver, token refresh, deregistration) • Supabase database schema is created with tables and RLS policies • Supabase private storage bucket is created • Code runs successfully on localhost What you’ll do 1. Deploy the provided GitHub repo to a Railway project I’ve already created 2. Configure environment variables in Railway 3. Verify the deployed health check endpoint responds correctly 4. Set up a Railway Cron job for hourly token refresh 5. Provide me with three endpoint URLs to register with Garmin (I’ll handle the Garmin portal myself — you won’t need access to it) 6. Run an end-to-end smoke test using Garmin’s API testing tools to confirm the full flow works (webhook received → FIT file downloaded → stored correctly) 7. Document any bugs you find and fix What you’ll be given access to • A standalone GitHub repo (just this server — not my main app codebase) • My Railway project (Member role) • My Supabase project (Developer role) • Environment variable values, shared securely once you’re onboarded What you will NOT need or have access to • iOS app codebase • Garmin Developer Portal login • Any production user data (this is a 5-person alpha test — no real user data exists yet) • Any other part of my systems Requirements • Demonstrated experience deploying Node.js/Express apps to Railway (please share an example or describe a past project) • Experience with OAuth 2.0, ideally including PKCE flow • Experience with Postgres (Supabase or similar) including basic schema/RLS understanding • Comfortable working from a written technical brief with minimal back-and-forth • Available for a short, focused engagement — not looking for ongoing work right now (though that may be possible later if this goes well) Budget & terms • Fixed price for defined scope, paid via Upwork • Budget: $300–500 depending on experience, payable on completion of the smoke test • All access (GitHub, Railway, Supabase) will be revoked/rotated at the end of the engagement — this is standard practice on my end, not a reflection of trust To apply, please answer 1. Have you deployed a Node/Express app to Railway before? Please describe briefly. 2. Have you worked with OAuth 2.0 PKCE flows? In what context? 3. In one or two sentences: how would you handle a webhook that must respond within 30 seconds, but also needs to do slower async work (like downloading a file) afterward? 4. Your availability to start and rough timeline to complete Looking forward to hearing from you.
