PowerSync | Senior Backend Engineer and Database Expert | Full-time | Remote (opt-in regional offices) PowerSync is a sync engine that keeps your backend database in sync with on-device SQLite. We support Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB and SQL Server as source databases and have a plethora of client SDKS, many of which are integrated with popular libraries and frameworks on the client-side like TanStack DB, Drizzle, GRDB, Room, etc If you're a database enthusiast and have a solid track record of building, deploying and maintaining backend systems on modern cloud stacks at scale, please check us out. Detail: https://www.powersync.com/careers/senior-backend-engineer-an... Our team is small and polyglot, but experience with TypeScript is a must. Experience with OSS projects is also a must - either you've made significant contributions to popular devtool projects or, better yet, you have your own. Culture: We're agile and devops purists (before those terms got coopted)
