Senior Node.js Developer for FaceUp 💙 = Startup with Social Impact

Hi, I am Patrik, Head of Engineering at FaceUp and currently I am looking for a couple of experienced colleagues to join our team. At FaceUp we build a secure whistleblowing platform that promotes speak up culture and empowers people to address concerns that are often difficult to discuss in person.

Today, our cloud-based software is trusted by over 1700 companies (and schools) used in 70 countries in Europe, US and Middle East, and we are growing rapidly 🚀. The Research&Development department is in transition and 🧐 let’s call it dynamic and quickly evolving. Our team is full of bright minds and great people who want to make a difference. A true fast-paced scale up environment 😎

🕵️ Who I'm looking for:

• Someone who cares deeply about the clean code and, more importantly, the technical direction of the project, as we are on the verge of a backend rewrite 🛠️
• Security and best practice are not only buzzwords for you 🔐
• A true team player who is used to a quickly evolving environment where #learnordie is also supplemented by #teachordie 💪😅
• Do I have to mention the experience with AI tools…? 😬
• Someone who can zoom out for the big picture, but also and doesn’t let the small stuff slip through the cracks 🔍🌍
• And we would prefer to be able to meet you 2 to 3 days a week at one of the offices –either Prague or Brno #sorrynotsorry

🛠️ What skills are essential?

• SQL databases (ideally PostgreSQL)
• API architecture (preferably GraphQL)
• Security and architectural awareness
• and Git...

🤝 What else could come in handy?

• Experience with both the OOP (ideally DDD) and functional paradigm
• Testing
• Observability practice (logging, error monitoring) – Sentry or technologies like Grafana, Prometheus, etc.
• Infrastructure awareness

📚 What should you know about us?

• Our stack is: Node.js, React (Ant Design), TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, AWS,…
• For us, security is crucial (E2E encryption, ISO 27001, etc.)
• We are multi-region (data residency)
• A cloud-first approach allows us to scale dynamically and be highly flexible.
• Agile: morning standups, sprints, you know, the usual…
• Scalability and sustainability is substantial for our development
• As a dev team, we regularly meet at one of our offices (Brno, Prague) for DevDays – dedicated days for discussions, innovations, learning, and brainstorming.
• You will be part of the Engineering team

🤔 What’s in it for you?

• Work in a team where changes happen rather quickly – we analyze, adjust and iterate.
• Competitive and motivational financial rewards.
• Meaningful work on a product that positively impacts millions of people.
• Offices in Prague and Brno.
• Benefits that make sense – Multisport, Hedepy (online therapy), discounted mobile tariffs, L&D, and more...
• Openness and transparent communication—we help build a speak-up culture worldwide, starting with ourselves.
• Work with a team of driven people pursuing their dreams and ambitions.
• Thrive in a company culture focused on quality work and striving for great results—not just for ourselves but for everyone using FaceUp 💙

Sounds like a good fit? Awesome! 👏👏👏
