The Opportunity:

Universal DX is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our growing team. You will be a key technical contributor building and scaling the backend services and data APIs that power our observability and analytics platform. You will own features end-to-end, from API design through deployment on Kubernetes, and collaborate closely with SREs, data engineers, and product stakeholders.

You will be part of a team that is passionate about developing novel diagnostic tests for the early detection of cancers. As part of the team, you will be in a Company that aims more than to become one of the leaders in the industry. We want to have a huge positive impact on society by achieving the ambitious purpose of “making cancer a curable disease by detecting it earlier”.

How you’ll contribute:

• Design, build, and maintain production-grade NestJS APIs and backend services that serve internal and external consumers.

• Own the full lifecycle of a service: schema design, business logic, observability instrumentation, Helm chart configuration, and GitOps deployment.

• Write and manage database migrations using Prisma; ensure schema changes are safe for zero-downtime deployments.

• Implement health endpoints, SLIs, and structured logging patterns that give the SRE team the signals they need.

• Collaborate with data engineers to build APIs over Trino and data lake sources (S3/Glue/Iceberg), translating complex analytical queries into reliable, performant endpoints.

• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; treat CI green as a hard gate before merge.

• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and incident postmortems as a domain expert.

• Mentor and coach junior engineers on NestJS patterns, API design, and service ownership.

What you’ll bring:

• Minimum bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or other job-related field.

• 5+ years of experience building and operating production backend services in a cloud environment.

• Strong TypeScript/Node.js skills; hands-on experience with NestJS or an equivalent structured backend framework.

• Solid understanding of relational databases and ORM-driven migrations (Prisma or similar).

• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and deploying services to Kubernetes via Helm.

• Experience working in a GitOps or CI/CD-driven delivery model (GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or similar).

• Ability to read and write SQL against analytical engines (Trino, Athena, Presto, or similar).

• Strong API design instincts — REST, versioning, Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, and consumer-first thinking.

• Strong knowledge of OO design and industry best practices for software development.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering disciplines.

• Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to work independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

• Preferred: experience with observability tooling - Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics, structured logging (Pino, etc.).

• Preferred: familiarity with AWS data services: S3, Glue, Lake Formation, or Iceberg table format.

• Preferred: comfort reading and writing Helm chart templates and values files.

• Preferred: A bias toward automation, clean abstractions, and keeping operational complexity low.

What we´ll offer:

• 22 days of PTO with the possibility to carry over 10 days to the following year.
• Company Holidays, plus your Birthday off!
• Company-sponsored benefit plans, including medical, dental, and vision insurance plus life, STD, and LTD coverage, and 401(k).
• Flexible work schedule
• And more to come!
