We're looking for passionate people

Do you want to help shape a modern, scalable HR platform used by organisations worldwide?

At HR-ON we’re looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer who enjoys building performant backend features and intuitive database structures.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build core backend services in Node.js & TypeScript against a Postgres database.
• Create and maintain complex database features using RLS, triggers, and PL/pgSQL programming.
• Develop GraphQL endpoints that streamline frontend features.
• Evolve the platform architecture for resilience, observability, and easy maintenance.
• Collaborate with frontend, product, and DevOps peers to deliver features that add value for our users.

About You

You’re an experienced engineer who:

• Writes production-grade Node.js/TypeScript.
• Is fluent in SQL - from schema design to complex query optimisation.
• Has worked on complex Postgres based solutions in the real world.
• Uses GitLab (or similar) for version control and automated tests.
• Has a solution-oriented attitude.
• Thinks in terms of scalable, maintainable architecture and values knowledge-sharing with teammates.

Bonus Points

• Experience working with existing code bases.
• Optionally an interest in doing the odd frontend task in React/Typescript.
• A fondness for type-safe, declarative coding styles (e.g. fp-inspired TypeScript).

Why HR-ON

• High autonomy & influence over tech choices and ways of working.
• Value-based self-management—trust, transparency, and flexibility come first.
• Central Odense office with remote options; we still value regular in-person collaboration.
• 50 passionate colleagues across Denmark, Germany, Norway, and Japan, united by a flat structure and meaningful work.
