Backend Engineer

Bags helps creators, artists, and entrepreneurs fund their ideas with coins that anyone can trade. Whether you launch your own project or someone else launches a project for you, Bags gives you a way to earn from your ideas and grow your community.

Bags is a Solana Token Launchpad, founded in 2023. In a short time, we’ve become one of the top revenue-generating products in all of crypto. We’re a small team of 5 people building globally distributed, high-performance systems where low latency is everything. Our users span the world, and our infrastructure must perform at scale, reliably, and fast. We’re now hiring a Backend Engineer to help us scale the systems that power Bags. You’ll work with a team that values speed, precision, and ownership—where every engineer has a massive impact.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build backend services in TypeScript and Rust.

• Work with Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse to handle high-throughput, low-latency workloads.

• Build and optimize services that index Solana data using Rust and Carbon.

• Design APIs and services that are globally performant and reliable.

• Ensure services are fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable, and secure.

• Partner with DevOps to ensure smooth deployment and monitoring.

• Take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to production.

• Help shape engineering best practices as one of our early hires.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js (bonus: Rust)

• Solid understanding of Redis, MongoDB, or ClickHouse.

• Experience building high-performance, low-latency distributed systems.

• Familiarity with Solana or other blockchain data systems (Rust + Carbon experience is a plus).

• Strong background in system design and data modeling.

• Ability to write clean, efficient, and testable code.

• High agency and work ethic—this is a startup role that requires ownership and hustle.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with blockchain data pipelines (especially Solana).

• Familiarity with message queues, streaming systems, or event-driven architectures.

• Understanding of performance tuning for databases and caching.

• Prior startup experience where speed and scale were critical.

Why Join Us

• Build systems that power the top revenue-generating product in crypto.

• Work on globally distributed, low-latency infrastructure where every millisecond matters.

• Join a small, elite team where you’ll have an outsized impact.

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
