Job Details
We're hiring a freelance mid-level backend developer to join our 100% remote team. At MelodyIQ, we build music analytics tools trusted by top record labels. The code you ship will directly shape how global campaigns are run for the world's biggest artists.
You'll start with daily maintenance and support tickets, then grow into deeper backend ownership â improving performance, fixing bugs, and building new features that matter. You're reliable, detail-focused, and proactive.
Commitment: Minimum 4 hours per day, but ideally 6-8 hours per day. Will start as month-to-month freelance, with the option to move to long-term hire if it's a great fit.
Timezone: We're prioritising candidates located between Europe and Australia, with at least 4 hours of daily overlap with Central European Time (ideal: Eastern Europe).
What You'll Do:
- Handle daily system maintenance and customer support tickets
- Debug and fix bugs in production with care and precision
- Improve reliability and performance of our backend systems
- Refactor existing Javascript code into TypeScript and clean up legacy code
- Build internal automations and tools to make life easier for the team
- Write and maintain tests that keep our systems fast and dependable
- Take part in database migrations, CI improvements, and dependency upgrades
- Monitor dashboards and proactively flag potential issues
- Ship pragmatic solutions, not over-engineered ones
Example Tasks:
- Upgrading our PostgreSQL instance
- Optimizing PostgreSQL queries
- Refactoring backend code from Javascript into TypeScript
- Setting up Grafana dashboards to monitor key metrics
Who We're Looking For:
- 4+ years of experience as a backend or full stack engineer
- Strong written communicator (we're async and remote-first)
- Comfortable working autonomously day to day
- Trustworthy, conscientious, and detail-oriented
- Pragmatic: proud of your code but focused on simplicity and maintainability
- Curious and eager to learn, especially in a fast-moving SaaS startup
Required technical skills
- Very experienced at large PostgreSQL databases in a work setting
- Node
- Typescript / javascript
- At least basic React
