About Us
Chipcolate is a small Italian company of craftsman-engineers who believe great software should be as elegant as it is robust. Historically we worked on embedded systems, web applications and 3D printing. At this time, we are working with a customer to build high-throughput financial services that power thousands of autonomous agents. We operate in a quite unstructured and flexible way, that’s the only way to get speed and quality.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement and test REST services in Node.js (TypeScript) running on containerized infra.
- Model and optimize datasets in Postgres (including partitioning, indexes, materialized views).
- Build responsive front-ends in React with modern tooling (vite, shadcn-ui, tailwind).
- Use React Query / TanStack Query for data-fetching, caching and optimistic updates.
- Own end-to-end features: requirements → architecture → code → CI/CD → observability dashboards.
- Collaborate with SREs to keep our HA, multi-region stack secure and performant.
- Write automated tests (Jest, Playwright) and participate in blameless code reviews.
Experience & Qualifications
Must-have
- 3 + years building production Node.js back-ends (Express/Fastify/Nest or similar).
- Solid SQL skills and deep understanding of Postgres internals (query planner, locking, tuning).
- React expertise: hooks, context, component composition, performance profiling.
- Proficiency with TypeScript, Git, CI pipelines and Docker.
- Comfortable taking a user story from Figma wireframe to deployed feature.
Nice-to-have
- Worked on OLAP / analytical workloads (e.g. column-store extensions, DuckDB, ClickHouse).
- Hands-on with React Query or comparable client caching libraries.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ).
- Experience with Supabase (self-hosted) on the backend
- Experience instrumenting apps with OpenTelemetry and Grafana.
No degree required—show us shipped code, OSS commits, or anything that proves you can build.
