Join the team behind Tellent HR, our HRIS platform trusted by thousands of companies to manage the HR processes they rely on every day—from time off and attendance to employee data. These are business-critical workflows where reliability, scalability, and a great user experience matter.
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll play a key role in evolving our platform while working alongside a collaborative product squad of engineers, a Product Manager, and QA.
We're looking for a product-minded Senior Backend Engineer. Engineering depth is the job, but you'll ask "why?" before building, challenge requirements that don't serve the user, and work with your squad to find the best solution—not simply implement what's written in a ticket. You'll help shape technical decisions while partnering closely with your team to deliver real customer value.
Your primary focus will be backend development in Node.js, with occasional opportunities to contribute to our React frontend when it helps deliver the best customer experience. We value engineers who are curious, collaborative, and comfortable stepping outside their primary area of expertise when needed.
Your First Year at Tellent
First 3 months: You'll get to know the team, our product, and the Time Off domain, where you'll begin contributing to improvements that thousands of customers rely on every day. Supported by experienced teammates, you'll become familiar with our architecture, engineering practices, and ways of working while shipping your first meaningful improvements.
Within 6 months: You'll take shared ownership of key parts of the product, contribute to technical decision-making, review code, and help spread knowledge across the team. Working closely with your squad, you'll improve scalability, reliability, and maintainability while helping shape the future of the platform.
After 1 year: You'll be a trusted technical partner within the team, driving improvements, contributing to architectural discussions, and helping teammates succeed through collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. Success at Tellent is built together, and we value engineers who elevate those around them as much as the solutions they build.
