Senior Node.js Developer
LOCATION
Prague, Czech Republic
{JOB DESCRIPTION}
About position
About the Opportunity
Are you a backend engineer who cares about craftsmanship over churn?
At Blocshop, we are a boutique software development house (est. 2012) headquartered in Prague. We aren’t a massive factory; we are a team of highly skilled engineers who value clean code, pragmatic solutions, and lasting relationships.
We are looking for a Node.js Developer to join us on a contract basis. You will help shape the backend architecture of a massive, high-traffic platform.
Location & Eligibility
- Location: Fully Remote within the EU OR Hybrid in Prague.
- Requirement: Applicants must currently reside in the European Union to be considered.
The Tech Stack
You should be comfortable with:
Core: Node.js (Asynchronous & Modular design), Express.js, Koa or NestJS.
Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis (and ORMs like Sequelize, Prisma, or Mongoose).
Testing: Jest, Mocha, or Supertest.
Ops: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Bonus: GraphQL, ReactJS knowledge.
What You Will Do
- Build & Scale: Design and implement robust backend services and APIs (RESTful & GraphQL) that power high-load applications.
- Modernize: Navigate complex legacy systems with the goal of driving modernization and improving code quality.
- Optimize: Take ownership of performance, reliability, and security. You enjoy hunting down bottlenecks.
- Collaborate: Work directly with Front-End devs, BAs, and Designers. You will have a voice in architectural discussions and help shape the future of the ecosystem.
- Elevate Standards: Contribute to peer reviews and CI processes to ensure our codebase remains clean, efficient, and maintainable.
Who We Are Looking For
We aren't just looking for syntax knowledge; we are looking for an engineering mindset. You are a great fit if:
- You take ownership of features from the whiteboard to production.
- You are pragmatic—you know when to refactor and when to ship.
- You value clean architecture and understand the trade-offs in distributed systems.
- You are curious and constantly learning, but you don't let "shiny new tools" distract you from delivering value.
- You communicate clearly in English (written and spoken).
Why Blocshop?
- Boutique Culture: We treat our people like partners, not resources.
- Real Impact: Work on critical financial/enterprise infrastructure used by millions.
- Flexibility: Work from our Prague hub or from the comfort of your home anywhere in the EU.
- Ready to build something scalable? Apply now to join the Blocshop team.
