About the job

Intent is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Node.js) to help shape the technical direction of our projects. This freelance, remote position operates on a time & material basis, with compensation for hours worked on client projects. The role begins with a three-month trial period. If both sides are happy, there is an opportunity to join our core team with a fixed monthly salary, full benefits, and paid time off.

About Intent

Our remote team of over 60 works in an AI-native environment, building backend systems that support data layers for devices used daily. Investors include a16z and Founders Fund.

Who Succeeds Here

This position suits engineers who are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy making architectural decisions. The team values those who lead technical discussions, challenge assumptions, and use AI tools as part of their workflow. Those who thrive on clear specifications or need frequent direction may not find this environment ideal.

What You Will Do

  • Lead and improve backend architecture for IoT projects, including data ingestion, API design, and infrastructure selection.
  • Explain and defend technical trade-offs to both team members and clients.
  • Build scalable backend solutions that align with project needs.

Contract Details

This is a freelance, remote role with compensation based on hours worked. The initial three-month trial allows both sides to assess fit. If successful, an offer for a permanent position with salary and benefits may follow.
