Job Description
Bluelight Consulting is a software consultancy that designs and builds applications for its clients. This senior, remote, full-time role is for a backend-focused engineer who can also help with frontend tasks when required. The engineer works on varied client projects and helps build high-quality applications.
The core of the job is building low-latency, scalable RESTful APIs on AWS, connecting systems through SDKs, and working with PostgreSQL or Aurora databases. The posting asks for experience with row-level security and with multi-tenant designs that keep customers isolated. It also expects hand-written SQL and database schema migrations handled with tools such as node-postgres or node-pg-migrate.
Testing carries real weight here. The posting highlights integration suites that run against live databases, along with fault-injection exercises. Engineers are expected to use AI coding assistants in daily work, to set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines, and to handle large, complex systems. Candidates must be able to work during overlapping US business hours.
Bluelight has operations across the United States and in Central and South America, and it describes itself as expanding. Benefits include a competitive salary with bonuses and performance-based raises, generous paid time off, flexible hours, remote work, and support for continuing education, conferences and certifications.

- Exposure to designing isolated, secure environments that serve several tenants
- Skilled at hand-written SQL and migration management

- Ability to build and keep up CI/CD pipelines for applications

- Bachelor's degree, extreme ownership, careful attention to detail and a can-do attitude
Qualifications
- Familiar with event-sourced, bitemporal or append-only data designs
- Some Fastify work and validation built on schema-first tools like Zod
