Job description
What we do & why
Cold outbound is collapsing - and the way sales has been done for decades is being dragged along with it. AI & automation have made sending emails free & easy, which means everyone’s inbox is now full of garbage. In this world, relationships become exponentially more important.
Because who you know dictates who you can sell to.
Draftboard is the world’s first autonomous warm-intro engine - it identifies who in your network is best positioned to make an intro to your prospects. And early users are already telling us it’s the most effective outreach tool they’ve ever used.
The spark is there. Now we need to nurture it with even more incredible engineers.
We’re looking for an experienced Backend Engineer who enjoys autonomy, solves problems end-to-end, and moves fast in a small startup team.
Tech Stack
Service-oriented / microservices architecture
Node.js (NestJS), Go, a bit of Python
PostgreSQL as the primary database
gRPC for internal service communication
Hosted on Google Cloud Platform
Integrations with AI assistants and AI agent systems
Client applications: Next.js web app + Chrome Extension
What You’ll Do
Build and evolve backend services & APIs powering Draftboard’s AI-driven networking experience
Design and implement new product functionality end-to-end
Improve, refactor and support existing services
Collaborate closely with the team and contribute to product decisions
Own solutions from idea to deployment with minimal supervision
Requirements
Russian speakerhighly preferred (English level B1+)
Strong experience with Node.js (NestJS) and Go
Practical experience with AI developer tooling (CLI tools, Codex-style models, AI IDEs like Cursor, etc.)
Understanding of distributed / service-oriented architectures
Familiarity with Docker, basic CI/CD, and cloud environments (GCP preferred)
Ability to independently break down, design and deliver features
Experience or interest in working with AI agents/assistants
Comfortable working fully remote and communicating proactively
Why Draftboard
Because this is the moment. We just launched our warm-intro engine, and the early traction signals are unmistakable. The product works. Users love it. The category is wide open.
We’re backed by Twelve Below, Founder Collective, Ground Up, Animo, and founders of Handy, Alma, Accrue, Dispatch, Vivian Health, B12, Lev, Fondue, Sense360, BackEngine and more.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Draftboard. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
