Senior TypeScript Backend Engineer

HIGH BRIDGE CONSULTING LLC

About The Position

Our client, a 3rd-generation management consulting firm, is looking to add to their team by hiring a Senior TypeScript Backend Engineer. This role is 100% remote. The client is building an agentic workflow-orchestration platform in-house, starting with vulnerability discovery as its first workflow. The client's engineering team consists of two architect-level, hands-on TypeScript engineers plus a part-time solution-partner subject-matter expert. The team works on priorities set by the client rather than owning the delivery of a fixed scope end to end.

Requirements

• Tech lead or team lead level TypeScript development: writes production code hands-on as a lead, not solely reviewing architecture or delegating implementation.
• Direct experience building on workflow/orchestration engines such as Temporal, Dapr, or AWS Step Functions.
• Strong distributed-systems background: message queues/pub-sub (e.g. Kafka), event-driven architecture, and retry/idempotency patterns.
• Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift experience: deployment, scaling, and networking basics.
• Enterprise architecture background sufficient to work from a design document and exercise sound, independent judgment in a fast-moving environment where scope is still being designed and priorities may shift.

Nice To Haves

• Comfort evaluating and comparing infrastructure platforms and making build-vs-buy recommendations.
• Experience in regulated or financial-services environments: governance and audit-trail thinking.
• Integrate LLM/AI agent tool-use into platform workflows as directed by the client.

Responsibilities

• Augment the client's engineering team building the agentic workflow-orchestration platform, per client direction and prioritization.
• Evaluate and recommend workflow/orchestration engine and infrastructure choices.
• Design and implement composable, polyglot workflow steps within the orchestration harness.
