Job description

Are you a seasoned Node.js Backend Engineer looking to take on exciting technical challenges in a fast-moving, product-driven environment?

At Luzmo, we’re building an outstanding embedded analytics platform, and we’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with solid Node.js expertise — and ideally some Rust knowledge — to help us scale, innovate, and deliver real value to our users.

You’ll play a key role in maintaining and developing new features across our backend stack, with the opportunity to work closely with our Rust-based query engine, one of the core components of our product.

If you’re passionate about clean code, performance, and working in a collaborative team that values ownership and innovation — we’d love to hear from you.

Who We Are

Luzmo is an embedded analytics platform that enables software vendors to integrate interactive dashboards and insights directly into their applications.

Rebranded in 2023 and backed by fresh funding, the company is set for significant growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services using Node.js and TypeScript

  • Work with relational databases like PostgreSQL, and NoSQL systems such as Clickhouse or Snowflake

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Frontend, Platform) to deliver end-to-end features

  • Take ownership of your work — from concept to deployment

  • Ensure code quality with tests and best practices — and yes, get a rush when everything turns green 🚦

  • Contribute to continuous deployment and daily shipping workflows

  • Occasionally travel for team gatherings (1–2 times per year)

Job requirements

  • Strong expertise in Node.js / TypeScript

  • Solid experience with data modeling and SQL databases like PostgreSQL

  • Experience in SaaS product development is a plus

  • Bonus points for Rust experience, or a willingness to learn it (we use Rust for our query engine)

  • Strong problem-solving skills and a growth mindset

  • A true team player, but also capable of working autonomously

  • Prior experience mentoring junior developers

  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working in a CI/CD environment

  • Experience with AWS and Pulumi is a plus

  • Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken)

  • Available to work in the CET timezone

  • Note: We cannot sponsor a work permit. If you don’t live in Belgium, you are open to a contracting role.
