Indexed description

NPFC (Neuroplay Fantasy Challenge) is building the next-generation fantasy platform. We’re looking for a backend developer who can ship production-grade services, design clean APIs, and build scalable systems that work under real-time load.
What you’ll build
  • Core backend services for NPFC: authentication, user profiles, squads/teams, leagues, leaderboards, and game rules
  • Real-time sports-data ingestion and event processing (webhooks/streams), and reliable state updates
  • Market systems (platform market + transfer/auction mechanics), bidding timers, settlement, and anti-abuse controls
  • Robust API design and documentation (REST/OpenAPI; GraphQL acceptable if strongly justified)
  • Data models and persistence for high-traffic gameplay (PostgreSQL + Redis typical)
  • Background jobs and schedulers for match windows, scoring updates, notifications, and periodic recalculations
  • Observability and reliability: logging, metrics, tracing, retries, idempotency, and incident-friendly design


Required experience
  • 3+ years building backend systems (or equivalent high-impact experience)
  • Strong proficiency with Node.js + TypeScript (or willingness to adopt quickly)
  • Experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, migrations, performance) and Redis (caching/queues)
  • Proven ability to design and maintain clean, versioned APIs
  • Comfort with production operations: monitoring, debugging, performance tuning, and secure engineering practices
Nice to have
  • Experience in gaming, fantasy sports, fintech, marketplaces, or event-driven systems
  • Familiarity with message queues/event streaming (e.g., SQS/RabbitMQ/Kafka)
  • Experience integrating third-party sports data providers (webhooks, feeds, match events)
  • Cloud and deployment experience (AWS/GCP), Docker, CI/CD
  • Experience designing rule engines / scoring pipelines
How we work
  • High ownership: you’ll be trusted with meaningful systems, not minor tickets
  • Practical engineering: ship, measure, iterate, harden
  • Clear goals: we have defined product milestones and a real roadmap
