Backend Developer

Summary

Join Mito Digital's aviation team as a Backend Developer to build and maintain high-performance APIs, optimize cloud-based systems, and collaborate with a team of developers, designers, and industry experts. You will own the entire development lifecycle, from discussing requirements with stakeholders to operating services in production. The ideal candidate possesses solid backend development experience, a grasp of full web application development, and familiarity with observability best practices. Excellent communication skills in English and fluent Hungarian are required. This role offers a hybrid work setup with flexibility, opportunities for remote work, and a dog-friendly office environment. Additional benefits include cutting-edge tools, meaningful projects, smooth onboarding, continuous learning opportunities, extra time off, team-building activities, and health and lifestyle benefits.

Requirements

• Solid backend development experience—you're no stranger to building and navigating highly scalable backend services
• A solid grasp of full web application development—from request to response and everything in between
• A responsible, open, and proactive approach to problem-solving—if something breaks, you don’t just reboot and hope for the best
• Familiarity with observability best practices (logging, monitoring, tracing)—because flying blind isn’t fun
• The ability to focus on what matters—understanding business needs and delivering real impact, not just writing fancy code for the sake of it
• Excellent communication skills in English and fluent Hungarian

Responsibilities

• Own the entire development lifecycle—discuss requirements with stakeholders, implement solutions, and operate services in production
• Build and maintain highly scalable, turbulence-resistant APIs
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code that won’t make future-you (or your teammates) cry
• Apply observability best practices—monitor, debug, and optimize applications like a true backend whisperer
• Work independently but collaborate when needed—no lone wolves, just a solid team
• Stay business-focused—prioritize what actually delivers value, not just what looks cool in the codebase
• Adapt to challenges with flexibility, a problem-solving mindset, and a good sense of humor—because sometimes turbulence is inevitable, but panic isn’t

Preferred Qualifications

���have experience with Node.js and TypeScript—these would be the cherry on top of your already solid backend skills
