Summary
A remote backend engineering role building and scaling a modern AI-enabled content technology platform. You will own backend features from API design through production deployment, contribute to service architecture, and work across AI integrations, processing pipelines, and production-scale billing systems. Strong TypeScript, Node.js, AWS serverless, MongoDB, Stripe, testing, and API design experience is required. Candidates located in Turkey are preferred.
Highlights
Remote role with end-to-end ownership, strong emphasis on craftsmanship and maintainable architecture, and opportunities to work on AI integrations, scalable backend systems, and complex billing workflows.
Description
VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents.
Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video—research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering—in under an hour.
No timelines.
No editing headaches.
Just intent → finished video.
We’re building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we’re already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams.
If you’re excited about AI, creator tools, and building category-defining products from first principles, you’ll fit right in.
We're looking for a backend engineer to help build and scale the infrastructure behind Vidrush, a video generation platform.
You'll work on a TypeScript/Node.js serverless backend where code quality and thoughtful design are first-class priorities.
What you'll do:
Own and deliver backend features end-to-end, from API design through deploymentSolve interesting problems across video generation pipelines, AI integrations, and billing systemsShape the architecture of services that power our core product workflowsContribute to a codebase that prioritizes long-term maintainabilityCollaborate closely with the team on technical decisions, code reviews, and continuous improvement
Requirements
- 2–7 years of professional backend engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js
- Hands-on experience with AWS in a serverless context
- Solid experience with MongoDB or other document databases
- Experience with Stripe or similar payment/billing platforms
- Familiarity with serverless frameworks (e.g., SST, Serverless Framework)
- Experience writing unit and integration tests with Jest or similar
- Understanding of RESTful API design and middleware patterns
- Comfortable with Git workflows, CI/CD, and code quality tooling
- Specialization in Stripe, complex product structures, subscriptions, usage-based billing, invoicing, payment workflows, and production-scale billing operations.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, CDK, Terraform)
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging patterns
- Background in layered architecture patterns (Clean Architecture, hexagonal, ports & adapters)
- Experience with modern web frameworks like Hono
- Interest in AI/LLM technologies and experience integrating with AI APIs
- Familiarity with agentic AI systems and frameworks like Mastra
What We Value
Craftsmanship: You care about code quality, testing, and maintainability—not just making it workArchitectural discipline: You respect layer boundaries and established patterns rather than taking shortcutsPragmatism: You ship working software without over-engineeringOwnership: You take features end-to-end, from design through productionAI-accelerated development: You actively use tools like Cursor, Copilot, and LLMs for scaffolding, tests, refactors, and debugging—without outsourcing your judgmentCuriosity about AI: You're excited about the intersection of backend engineering and AI capabilities
Note: whilst we're a global company working remotely, we prefer to hire from Turkey - as most of our Engineering team is localized there.
