Senior / Staff Backend engineer
Job Description
At Supernova, we’re on a mission to supercharge the productivity of product teams by eliminating tedious, time-consuming tasks, and rekindling the joy of creating exceptional user experiences. Our platform automates and streamlines key aspects of product development, with a particular focus on design systems and their seamless integration across the development lifecycle.
Founded in 2018, and after years of research and development tackling some of the toughest challenges in the industry, Supernova is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for many of the world’s most innovative and impactful companies.
From the very beginning, Supernova has been a remote-first company. Our team is globally distributed across 11 (and counting!) countries, bringing together diverse backgrounds and extensive experience collaborating with product, design, and development teams. We are at the most exciting point in Supernova's history—experiencing significant growth of our platform, welcoming top-tier companies, including Fortune 500 leaders, securing substantial investments, and preparing to launch an exciting new product feature focused on [redacted 👀] that will revolutionize how products are developed in the future.
For backend-oriented roles, future Supernovans must demonstrate exceptional self-management and problem-solving abilities. Every day, we tackle complex challenges and build solid foundations that drive our product forward. Our backend systems leverage Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres, AWS, and more—and we expect you to have outstanding expertise with these technologies as a starting point.
Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer. At this time, we can only support hiring within the EU or our Prague office for this role.
At Supernova, you’ll be responsible for:
• Designing and implementing high-performance, reliable APIs that power key functionalities for top-tier companies

• Solving challenging problems such as optimizing the performance of large data sets and architecting robust, real-time services
• Adding real-time multiplayer capabilities across the platform to support collaborative features
• Improving and extending core backend services that support our cutting-edge documentation editor and other front-end experiences
• Using our own product day-to-day to dogfood new backend features and services
• Building AI-powered experiences of various kinds
• Working on [unannounced 👀] features to redefine what product development is
