Backend Expert (node.js)
Senior • Remote
135 - 220 PLN/hr
Warsaw, Poland
We’re currently seeking a passionate freelance Backend Expert to join our team ASAP. As a freelancer cooperating with intent, you'll have the opportunity to work on diverse IoT projects, leveraging your expertise in backend and cloud technologies.
About intent
intent has over 15+ years of experience in conceptualizing, designing, and building apps for IoT and connected devices. We act as a specialized think partner for products at the intersection of physical and digital (such as wearables and IoT), working with companies like Oura, BOSE, and McIntosh audio systems.
If you’re a backend engineer who doesn’t just build what’s asked but shapes how it’s built, we’d love to talk. We’re looking for someone who can own the technical direction of a project end to end: architecture, infrastructure, trade-offs, and the conversations that come with them. You’d be joining us on a freelance, time & material basis: you’re paid for the hours you actually work on real client projects. Full capacity from the start. The first three months are about getting to know each other: if it turns out we work well together, we’d love to bring you into our core team with a fixed monthly salary, paid time off, and the whole benefits package. Not a promise, a real possibility we actively root for.
Who this role is NOT for
If your comfort zone is a well-defined Jira board, clear specs, and someone else making the architectural calls, this isn’t going to work. We’re not hiring a senior developer who executes well. We’re hiring someone who decides what gets built, how it gets built, and why. Someone who walks into a room full of ambiguity and starts creating structure, not waiting for it. If you need a ticket to start moving, if "that’s not in the requirements" is a sentence you use often, if you’d rather not be the one explaining a technical trade-off to a client: we’re probably not your people. We’re AI-native and we expect you to treat AI tools as a daily multiplier, not a gimmick. We look for engineers who ask "why" before "how", who challenge assumptions, and who occasionally break things because they were trying something better.
What you’ll do
Own and evolve the backend architecture for IoT projects: from data ingestion pipelines to API design to infrastructure decisions
Make technical trade-off decisions and defend them clearly to the team and to clients
Design and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS (EKS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Timestream, S3) with production-grade reliability
Lead technical discussions: RFCs, architecture reviews, post-mortems. Not because someone asked you to, but because you see the need
Mentor other backend engineers, raise the bar on code quality, and set patterns others can follow
Collaborate closely with firmware engineers, mobile developers, QA, PMs, and clients
Use AI tools as part of your daily workflow, not as a party trick
Challenge product and technical assumptions when something doesn’t make sense, even if it means a harder conversation
What we’re looking for
7+ years of backend development experience, with a meaningful chunk spent leading technical direction, not just writing code
Deep, hands-on AWS expertise: EKS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Timestream, S3, IAM. Not "I set up an EC2 once"
Strong Node.js skills in production systems at scale
Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, and Terraform: you’ve built and maintained real infrastructure, not just followed tutorials
Solid understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and data pipelines
Experience with MQTT or similar IoT messaging protocols
CI/CD pipelines you’ve designed yourself (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
English at B2+ minimum, written and spoken: you’ll be in rooms with US-based clients and you need to hold your own
The ability to translate business needs into technical decisions and explain those decisions to non-technical stakeholders
Strong opinions, loosely held: you propose direction, you defend it, and you change your mind when the evidence says you should
Nice to have
Experience leading or bootstrapping a project from scratch as the sole or primary backend engineer
Previous IoT, connected device, or hardware-adjacent projects
Familiarity with time-series data, real-time streaming, or edge computing patterns
Background in system design interviews or architecture review boards
Contributions to open-source projects or technical writing that shows how you think
Genuine curiosity about the physical devices your code powers, not just the services behind them
How we work
Fully remote. We have an office in Warsaw if walls and coffee machines motivate you, but nobody will ask why you’re not there. Working hours are flexible: most of the team operates between 10:00 and 18:00 CET, and that’s when most meetings happen. Depending on the project, occasional evening calls with US-based clients (up to ~20:00) may happen, always scheduled in advance, never a surprise. You’ll be part of the backend/cloud chapter for knowledge-sharing, and simultaneously on a project squad led by a PM for day-to-day delivery.
What you’ll get
135-220 PLN/h net B2B, depending on your experience
Truly flexible hours (most of the team works 10-18 CET, but you organize your day)
Fully remote opportunity
Access to our internal knowledge-sharing: tech talks, experiments, side projects
-
A genuine path to the core team: if the first 3 months go well, you get a permanent contract with a fixed monthly salary regardless of project availability, 26 days paid leave, 10 sick days, Saltus medical care, training budget, and mentoring budget
No sugarcoating: during the freelance period, there’s no paid leave or medical benefits. Those come with the permanent contract, and we’re transparent about that upfront.
Your first weeks
We don’t throw you into the deep end on day one. New engineers go through a structured ramp-up period before landing on target projects: you’ll work alongside the team, get paired with a technical buddy, and tackle progressively bigger challenges so both sides can see how the collaboration feels. Feedback comes early and often: no one waits three months to tell you something isn’t working. We believe in fast, honest signals. If it’s great, you’ll know. If something needs adjusting, you’ll hear about it while there’s still time to adjust.
Recruitment process
The entire process is in English. All interviews are recorded for internal evaluation purposes.
Application with a few screening questions
HR call (~45 min, casual, recorded)
Technical meeting (~90 min, with the technical team)
Final feedback within a few days
Join Us! 🚀
Be part of groundbreaking IoT projects, shaping the future of cloud and backend technology. If you’re excited about cloud computing, scalable systems, and backend development in innovative projects, this is the place for you! 💡

🏢 Summary: Freelance Senior iOS Developer role focused on building and maintaining iOS applications that communicate with connected hardware devices over BLE. The position involves close collaboration with firmware and product teams, strong ownership, TDD practices, and daily use of AI tools, with a potential path to a permanent contract after an initial 3‑month period. Fully remote with flexible hours and B2B hourly compensation. 🗂️ Requirements: 6+ years of production experience in Swift, Strong hands-on experience with BLE integration, Experience with structured concurrency in Swift, Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or Travis), Experience with unit testing frameworks (XCTest, Quick/Nimble) and TDD, English proficiency at B2+ level, Ability to work with high coding standards and modern iOS practices 📃 Skills: Swift, BLE, XCTest, Quick, Nimble, CI/CD, GitHub, Bitrise, Travis, Combine, RxSwift, TDD, Agile, Scrum, AI 🏢 Description: If you're a Senior iOS Developer who knows BLE inside out and likes code that talks to physical things, we want to talk. You'd join us on a freelance, time & material basis : you're paid for the hours you actually work on real client projects. The first three months are about figuring out if we're a good match. When things work out, and that depends on the work itself, the project pipeline, and business timing, there's a real path to our core team with a permanent contract and full benefits. Why intent? We've been designing and co-creating connected devices since 2008. Wearables, smart audio, health-tech hardware for clients like Oura and BOSE, backed by investors like a16z and Founders Fund. We're 60+ people, fully remote, and AI-native since before LinkedIn influencers discovered the term. We use AI every day, in actual work, not just in company decks. If your Swift has ever made a physical device do something it couldn't do before, you already get why we love what we do. Who this role is NOT for If you like being told exactly what to build every morning, opening Jira, closing Jira, and logging off at 17:01, we're probably not your people. We look for engineers who ask "why" before "how", challenge assumptions, and occasionally break things because they were trying something new. We're AI-native and we expect you to treat AI as a daily multiplier, not a gimmick. What we expect: ownership of what you touch, straight talk when things get complicated, and the kind of curiosity that makes you actually care about the device on the other end of your Bluetooth connection. What you'll do Build and maintain iOS apps that communicate with hardware peripherals over BLE Take part in specifying, planning, and estimating new modules and features Write and maintain unit tests (XCTest, Quick/Nimble) with a TDD mindset Keep CI/CD pipelines in shape (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Travis) Review pull requests and give your teammates feedback that actually helps Share what you learn: tech talks, internal docs, pair sessions, whatever fits Work side by side with firmware engineers, designers, QA, and PMs Use AI tools as part of your daily workflow, not as a party trick How we work Fully remote. We have a pet-friendly office in Warsaw and a coworking space in Gdansk if walls and coffee machines motivate you, but nobody will ask why you're not there. Working hours are flexible: most of the team operates between 10:00 and 18:00 CET, and that's when most meetings happen. Evening calls with US-based clients (up to ~20:00) are part of the rhythm, sometimes a couple of times a week, always planned ahead. You'll be part of the Mobile chapter for knowledge-sharing, and at the same time on a project squad led by a PM for day-to-day delivery. What you'll get 90-180 PLN/h net B2B, depending on your experience Truly flexible hours: you organize your day Fully remote, with pet-friendly Warsaw office + Gdansk cowork if you want them Access to our internal knowledge-sharing: tech talks, experiments, side projects When the first 3 months work out, and that depends on the work, the project pipeline, and business timing, there's a real path to a permanent contract with a fixed monthly salary, 26 days paid leave, 10 sick days, Saltus medical care, and a training budget No sugarcoating: during the freelance period there's no paid leave or medical benefits. Those come with the permanent contract, and we're transparent about that upfront. Your first weeks We aim to give you space to ramp up before jumping into live project work, but this is a real company with real deadlines: if the project needs you sooner, we'll make sure you have the support to hit the ground running. You'll get paired with a technical buddy and tackle progressively bigger tasks, so both sides can see how the collaboration feels. Feedback comes early and often, no one waits three months to tell you something isn't working. If it's great, you'll know. If something needs adjusting, you'll hear about it while there's still time to adjust. Recruitment process The entire process is in English. All interviews are recorded for internal evaluation purposes. Application with a few screening questions HR call, ~45 min, casual Technical meeting, ~90 min, with the technical team (may include live coding) Final feedback within a few days Once we're in touch, you'll hear from us fast. We don't ghost and we don't drag. One more thing intent is an equal opportunity employer. We care about what you can do, not where you come from. Send us your CV and a few words about why this caught your eye. Bonus points if you share something you've built that made you proud. Job requirements What we're looking for 6+ years writing production Swift Strong, hands-on BLE integration experience (not "I read about it once") Structured concurrency in Swift: you know it, you use it CI/CD experience: GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or Travis Unit testing discipline: XCTest, Quick/Nimble, or similar, with a TDD mindset English at B2+, written and spoken, because our clients are mostly US-based Problem-solving over line-counting: we'll take a creative thinker over a fast typist any day High coding standards and an eye on what's new in the iOS world Initiative, ownership, and the kind of communication where people don't have to guess what you meant Nice to have Experience with other mobile platforms (Android, Flutter, KMM) Previous IoT or connected device projects Functional reactive programming (Combine, RxSwift) Agile/Scrum experience Genuine curiosity about the things you build, not just the code behind them
