Backend Developer

The Revi Mission

Brick and mortar is not dead but drastically changing, and Revi is leading that future. 31 years ago, Web 1.0 started and it gave people the ability to click hyperlinks and read text. When Web 2.0 came about 10 years later, it revolutionized the world. It allowed people to do things like buy, ship, mail, shop, and more.

In the past, doing these things was only reserved for an in-person physical experience, but they can now be done online. That one technological advancement, though simple, changed the world. Now, the internet is so robust that there are things you can do online that you cannot do in a physical location. This is the next great shift in the market that Revi is calling Web 3.0.

Companies are now trying to bring this digital experience into physical stores in their own siloed ecosystems. For example, Uber brings a simplified way to interact with cabs in the physical world, Bonobos brings a simplified way to interact with their physical retail stores, and the Amazon Go store simplifies purchasing in its physical stores. Revi is looking to bring this way of interacting with physical locations to all consumers, no matter what physical store you walk into.

Revi offers businesses an in-store digital platform that allows businesses to build long-lasting relationships with their customers and allows consumers to interact with any business they walk into digitally. Our product is a beautifully designed in-store self-ordering system where consumers can buy, pay, get rewards, and so much more. The data collected is leveraged to improve the ordering experience and attract new consumers. With a fresh round of Series A funding from top Silicon Valley seed investors, we are ready to pursue a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

It's an excellent time to join because

You'll be at the center of Revi's culture, operations, and people experience. If you're energized by building structure, supporting teams, and keeping a fast-paced environment running smoothly, this role is for you.

The Revi Role

We're looking for a seasoned and forward-thinking Senior Backend Engineer to design and build scalable backend services that power Revi's core applications. You'll own API development, distributed systems, and database design while collaborating closely with Product and Frontend teams.

Mentor junior engineers, review code, and help set strong technical standards

What We Expect You'll Bring to the Role

4–6 years of backend engineering experience, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment

Proficiency in SQL database design, and query optimization

Strong working knowledge of AWS services (compute, storage, monitoring)

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code

Comfort using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) as development companions

Strong product sense and ability to navigate ambiguity with pragmatism

Excellent written and verbal communication; collaborative, team-first mindset

Experience with payment systems (Stripe) and other third-party integrations (e.g., Kitchen Hub, Otter, 7Shifts)

Familiarity with observability stacks like Datadog, Sentry, or Prometheus/Grafana
