SVETET

Backend developer

Required experience: 1–3 years·Full-time·Remote

from $1,500 to $3,000 / mo

Own the loop behind the website — so leads, orders, and statuses don’t disappear.

About the company and the role

SVETET is a website studio for business. We design, redesign, and refine sites that bring inquiries — then connect CRM, automation, and AI when they truly strengthen the result.

The team works remotely. We respect the right to work from anywhere; timezone overlap is agreed with the lead, not a fake corporate 9-to-6.

We are looking for people who share a simple bar: ship real commercial work, speak plainly, and care about the lead path — not slide decks.

We need a backend developer for APIs, PostgreSQL, webhooks, CRM sync, Telegram bots, and the reliability that keeps commercial data intact.

What we expect

  • 1–3 years of commercial backend experience.
  • SQL you can write without an ORM crutch for hard queries.
  • At least one production API (REST or tRPC) and Git.
  • You have shipped something that talks to a third party (CRM, Telegram, payments).
  • You can explain sync vs async and what belongs in Make vs in code.
  • Security basics: secrets, least privilege, no PII in logs.

What we offer

  • Official contract / B2B or employment.
  • Remote full-time; schedule agreed with the lead.
  • Paid trial with a clear ticket.
  • Real commercial loops: catalogs, lead routing, ops bots.
  • If a project is a bad fit, we reassign rather than burn you on it.
  • Rate review after the first shipped milestone.

What you’ll do

  • Design and ship APIs for storefronts, cabinets, and internal tools (Node / TypeScript preferred).
  • Model data in PostgreSQL: products, leads, orders, statuses — with migrations.
  • Integrate CRM, messengers, payment/status hooks, and automations when they are the right glue.
  • Build Telegram bot/scenario backends with roles, retries, and an audit trail.
  • Handle errors properly: idempotent webhooks, logs, alerts.
  • Pair with frontend on contracts so lead fields survive end to end.
