A Graphql Developer Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

Description

About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build and scale the GenAI Lens backend platform. This is a production-focused role centered on MongoDB data design and performance, scalable/durable data ingestion and processing pipelines, and operating high-throughput systems with strong observability and reliability.
You'll also help build and evolve our API layer (GraphQL and JSON-RPC). Experience with GraphQL is a strong plus, but the core focus is data systems and platform engineering. You should be comfortable working in a product that leverages modern AI technologies (embeddings, vector search, LLM integrations) and understand the practical standards that come with them-evaluation, guardrails, observability, and cost controls.What You'll Work On

• 
  Maintain and improve our data pipelines to keep data flowing reliably from ingestion to delivery
• 
  Scalable, durable data ingestion and processing pipelines (event-driven, fault-tolerant workflows; retries, idempotency, backfills, and DLQs)
• 
  Own data quality by implementing monitoring, alerting, and validation
• 
  Design MongoDB schemas and query/index strategies for scale (aggregation pipelines, Atlas Search/vector search where relevant)
• 
  JSON-RPC data layer service that powers GraphQL (designing/maintaining RPC methods, scaling throughput/latency, and evolving contracts safely)
• 
  Support AI-adjacent platform needs (embedding generation workflows, provider abstractions, prompt/model metadata, evaluation hooks)

Responsibilities:

• 
  Own backend services end-to-end, from design and implementation through deployment and production support
• 
  Deliver scalable GraphQL resolvers with performance-aware patterns (batching, caching, pagination)
• 
  Build and evolve the JSON-RPC data access layer for GraphQL, including method design, backward compatibility, and performance tuning.
• 
  Own MongoDB performance: modeling, indexing, aggregation pipelines, and measurable latency/throughput targets
• 
  Build reliable serverless/event-driven components (idempotency, retries, DLQs, backpressure, rate limiting)
• 
  Improve reliability and operational readiness (SLO-minded engineering, incident response hygiene, runbooks)
• 
  Partner closely with frontend, product, and UX to enable features cleanly and safely
• 
  Drive code quality via testing, reviews, and CI/CD improvements
• 
  Mentor engineers and influence engineering standards across the team

Required Skills & Experience

• 
  Experience building and maintaining backend services in production
• 
  Strong experience with GraphQL APIs (schema design, resolver patterns, authorization, performance)
• 
  Strong experience with MongoDB (data modeling, indexing, aggregation pipelines; Atlas Search and Vector Search, sharding experience is a plus)
• 
  Strong proficiency with Node.js and JavaScript / TypeScript
• 
  Strong proficiency with Python (services, jobs, data processing, or tooling)
• 
  Experience building on AWS, preferably serverless/event-driven architectures (Lambda, SQS/SNS/EventBridge, S3)
• 
  Experience working with high-traffic or business-critical systems
• 
  Solid understanding of performance optimization techniques (caching, async processing, data access patterns)
• 
  Experience with Terraform for production infrastructure (IAM, networking, secrets, repeatable environments)
• 
  Experience with testing frameworks and pragmatic test strategy (unit, integration, contract)
• 
  Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred; alternatives acceptable)
• 
  Experience debugging, monitoring, and operating production systems
• 
  Comfortable working in a distributed team environment
• 
  Strong operational skills: logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards/alerts, and production support practices

Infrastructure & Platform Experience

• 
  Cloud experience, preferably AWS, including:
• 
  Lambda
• 
  SQS / SNS / EventBridge / Kafka
• 
  S3
• 
  CloudWatch
• 
  API Gateway (where applicable)
• 
  Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform
• 
  Experience with private networking patterns (VPC, security groups, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints) is a plus
• 
  Exposure to containerized workloads (EKS/Kubernetes) is a plus, even if the core architecture is serverless-first

Collaboration & Others

• 
  Prior experience leading projects, features, or technical initiatives
• 
  Ability to influence architecture and design decisions
• 
  Strong ownership mindset and ability to identify and execute improvements independently

AI & Developer Productivity

• 
  Familiarity with embeddings and vector search concepts, and the tradeoffs they introduce (latency, cost, relevance)
• 
  Experience integrating with LLM/embedding providers via clean abstractions (timeouts, retries, fallbacks, rate limits)
• 
  Awareness of AI industry standards/practices: prompt/version management, evaluation/regression checks, basic guardrails, and auditability
• 
  Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve development workflows and code quality (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI-based tools)
• 
  Ability to articulate how AI has improved development speed, quality, testing, or maintainability

Nice to Have

• 
  Experience building high-throughput services (e.g., millions of requests/minute class systems) and tuning concurrency/connection pools
• 
  Experience designing "saved filter" or "materialized view" style performance optimizations for analytics/trends workloads
• 
  Experience with multi-region data and compliance-minded architectures
• 
  Experience refactoring legacy systems or consolidating services for efficiency and cost savings

Why Join This Team

• 
  Help build a modern backend platform where quality and scalability are non-negotiable, enabling a high-impact product for the company with visible outcomes and real customer adoption.
• 
  Work with cutting-edge technologies and modern AI tooling (embeddings, vector search, LLM providers, evaluation/guardrails) while staying grounded in strong backend engineering practices.
• 
  Supportive, collaborative team culture-ideas are heard, discussed openly, and improved together as a group
