Backend / Full-stack Engineer (TypeScript, AI-assisted)

Laba Group is one of the largest international EdTech companies in Eastern Europe. Currently, our team consists of over 800 colleagues united by a single mission: to improve people's lives through relevant and systematic knowledge. We are seeking a Backend / Full-stack Engineer (TypeScript, AI-assisted) who will take ownership of the Command Center platform and other internal company projects.

• Read and build a reliable mental model of the existing TypeScript / Next.js codebase.
• Own and improve technical documentation across architecture, data flows, business logic, and key system processes.
• Design, develop, and ship backend and full-stack functionality for Command Center and other internal tools.
• Maintain server-side logic, APIs, PostgreSQL data access, and authorization; build React / Next.js components as full-stack tasks require.
• Write, optimize, and review SQL queries, and maintain integrations between internal systems, databases, and business workflows.
• Drive code quality through deliberate refactoring, cleaner structure, and simpler, more maintainable logic.
• Leverage AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) for code comprehension, debugging, refactoring, documentation, and test generation.
• Automate recurring processes and propose practical improvements to internal workflows.
• Contribute to technical discussions with data, analytics, finance, recruitment, and other business teams.

• Commercial experience with TypeScript / JavaScript (backend or full-stack)
• Experience with React and Next.js, including a working understanding of the App Router and Server Components / Server Actions
• Confident working within an established codebase — reading it, understanding how it fits together, and improving it
• Solid understanding of server-side logic, APIs, databases, and authorization principles
• Practical SQL experience with relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL
• Experience with Git, code review, and independent debugging / root-cause investigation
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in development, with the judgment to review, test, and understand AI-assisted code
• Comfortable working with internal tools, data-rich applications, and business logic; eager to learn fast and grasp business context
• 1-2+ years of commercial experience in backend, full-stack, or TypeScript-focused roles

• Flexible full-time. We focus on results, not hours worked: manage your own time, stay connected with the team, and meet deadlines
• Remote, onsite, or hybrid — it's up to you! Our modern workspace in Kyiv is fully equipped with everything you need
• Access to all Laba Group courses for you and your family
• Compensation for external training, sports, and mental and physical health, helping you stay balanced and prioritize your well-being
• Unlimited vacation after 6 months of working with us. Plan according to your needs and adjust based on workload intensity because rest is essential for your health
• We create a supportive environment where facing challenges and making mistakes isn't scary.
• No micromanagement or bureaucracy — only automated processes. Feel free to experiment, propose, and implement your ideas
• We champion a proactive mindset, bold ideas, and a willingness to embrace change.
• Vertical and horizontal growth: 83% of our Heads of Departments and Team Leaders have been promoted internally.
