How we know

It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.

Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Gamma, so its true age is longer.

Last checked Nov 4, 2026.

This role is about solving real distributed systems challenges at scale while maintaining the performance and reliability users expect from a modern AI-powered product. You'll work across the full stack, shipping features that directly impact how people create and share their ideas.

While this role is backend focused, you'll work across the entire product with our frontend, product, and design teams. Our full TypeScript stack is built on modern technologies including React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and cutting-edge AI models.

What you'll do

  • Scale backend systems to hundreds of millions of users while maintaining high performance and availability
  • Build and optimize APIs that power real-time collaborative editing and AI content generation
  • Design and implement distributed systems that handle massive scale with reliability
  • Ship features across the full stack, working closely with frontend engineers to deliver polished experiences
  • Architect solutions for complex technical challenges in areas like data consistency, caching, and query optimization
  • Collaborate with product and design to turn ideas into production-ready features

What you'll bring

  • 3+ years building production backend systems with strong fundamentals in distributed systems, databases, and API design
  • Deep proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js or similar backend languages, with eagerness to work in our TypeScript stack
  • Experience scaling systems to handle millions of users and high throughput workloads
  • Strong understanding of PostgreSQL, Redis, or similar database technologies
  • Passion for building APIs, scaling complex systems, and creating excellent web applications
  • Curiosity and attitude that matches your technical knowledge
  • Prior experience working with websockets, streaming, or scaling inference workloads (Nice to have)

Compensation range

The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $180K - $310K plus benefits & equity.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.
