About Minoan
Minoan is pioneering "Native Retail" — a new approach to shopping that seamlessly connects people, products, and spaces.
By embedding products into real-world environments like vacation rentals, we allow customers to experience items naturally — without the noise of traditional retail or e-commerce.
Our all-in-one purchasing platform helps vacation rental owners, managers, and designers furnish smarter, save money, and create immersive, shoppable experiences for their guests.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Developer to help build and scale the platform powering hospitality commerce.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain backend services using Node.js / Sails.js
- Work across microservices handling pricing, orders, payments, and catalog systems
- Optimise and manage PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch at scale
- Implement background jobs using Bull/BullMQ and cron-based workflows
- Deploy and manage services on AWS (EKS, S3, CodeBuild) using Docker & Kubernetes
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (like Claude Code) to ship faster and maintain high code quality
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of backend development experience with Node.js
- Strong experience with Sails.js or similar frameworks (Express, NestJS)
- Deep expertise in PostgreSQL and MongoDB (schema design, performance, migrations)
- Hands-on experience with Redis (caching, queues, sessions)
- Solid understanding of REST APIs and microservices architecture
- Experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes
- Familiarity with Git workflows, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with payment integrations (Stripe, Plaid, or similar)
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) — this is core to how we work
Bonus Points
- Experience with Elasticsearch or Algolia
- Familiarity with AI/LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI)
- Background in e-commerce or B2B platforms
- Experience with vector databases (Pinecone) and semantic search
