About Gateway HR Gateway HR is our HRI platform designed specifically for global expansion management. It offers deep integration with Gateway GXM, our flagship global entity management platform, enabling capabilities like automatic payslip generation, intelligent contract management, and seamless cross‑border compliance.
Our platform ecosystem already includes AI‑powered document recognition and classification in production, event‑driven serverless architecture on Azure, and a growing suite of integrated tools spanning HR, entity management, and compliance.
Job Description This is a remote role.
We’re looking for a Lead Backend Engineer to own the technical direction of Gateway HR and drive its deep integration with GXM. You’ll be writing code, reviewing PRs, challenging architectural decisions, and shipping features while also setting the bar for quality and engineering practices.
Day‑to‑day, you’ll work closely with the GXM backend team, an external development partner, and the product team. Design and build backend systems for automated payroll processing, compliance monitoring, and intelligent document handling.
Design APIs and event‑driven workflows using Azure Service Bus for complex, multi‑tenant operations.
Work across both MongoDB and PostgreSQL—our ecosystem uses both,



and you’ll need fluency in each.
Lead and manage external development teams—enforce standards, challenge estimates, catch quality gaps.
Conduct rigorous code reviews and establish testing strategies (unit, integration, end‑to‑end).
Build CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for rapid, safe deployment.
Implement observability and monitoring for distributed HR workflows.
Champion code quality through documentation, mentoring, and leading by example.
Mentor backend and full‑stack developers—both internal and external.
7+ years backend development, 3+ years in technical leadership.
~ Experience in a regulated or compliance‑heavy industry—finance, healthcare, HR/payroll, or large‑scale e‑commerce—where data security, audit trails, and regulatory requirements are non‑negotiable.
~ TypeScript/Node.js—maintainable, production‑ready code.
~ Azure serverless—Functions, Service Bus, API Management.
~ PostgreSQL with ORM experience (Sequelize or similar).
~ MongoDB with advanced data modeling.
~ Experience managing external development teams—code reviews, quality enforcement, architectural guidance.
~ Terraform for infrastructure as code.
~ GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
~ Track record of establishing engineering practices and raising quality standards.

Background in HR technology, payroll platforms, or global workforce management—understanding multi‑country employment, compliance, and employee lifecycle challenges.
Python for AI/ML integration, data analytics, or workflow scripting.
Multi‑tenant SaaS architecture and global scalability patterns.
Lead both internal and external teams—true engineering leadership, not just coding.
Modern stack—Azure serverless, TypeScript, event‑driven, infrastructure as code.
Remote‑first culture with a small, experienced team where your leadership directly shapes the product.
Unique market position—deep integration between HR and global expansion management.
