Company Overview

Talent Wind is partnering with Humand, the AI-powered HR platform built for the 2.7 billion deskless workers left out of traditional workplace software, on their search for a Backend Engineer.

Humand recently closed a $66M Series A, the largest HR Tech round in Latin America's history, co-led by Kaszek and Goodwater Capital with participation from Y Combinator and angel investors behind Mercado Libre, Dropbox, Vercel, and Webflow. In five years, the company has grown from zero to over 2 million users across 2,000+ companies in 51 countries, and is now scaling fast to build the AI operating system for the deskless workforce.

This is a demanding startup environment: they ship constantly, solve fast, and are competing to lead their category. Humand is looking for a Backend Engineer who wants to design solutions that actually scale, not just maintain what's already there. If working close to the product, with a modern stack and technical decisions that reach thousands of users, sounds appealing, this role is worth a look.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services using Java, Node.js, and Express.js with TypeScript, thinking about scale from the design stage.
• Manage and optimize relational and non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, ElasticSearch).
• Implement, deploy, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS, using Terraform for infrastructure as code.
• Monitor system stability and performance with DataDog (or similar tools), with a focus on end-user experience.
• Collaborate with product and frontend teams to deliver efficient, well-integrated solutions.

What they value

• Real backend experience with Node.js and Express.js (TypeScript) in production environments.
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, Redis, and ElasticSearch.
• Experience with AWS and Terraform (infrastructure as code).
• Familiarity with monitoring tools like DataDog or similar.
• Ability to solve problems collaboratively in an agile environment, with low tolerance for analysis paralysis.

Join the Humand team and help shape the future of work. Their mission: empower people at work to be happier and more successful. Their purpose: bring happiness to the world of work.
