About HackerRank

At HackerRank, our mission is to change the world to value skills over pedigree. Thousands of companies use our AI-powered platform to hire next-gen developers based on what they can do, not just what’s on their resume. We’ve powered 300M+ code runs and built a global community of 26M+ developers.

We’ve entered a new era of software development where humans and AI build together. This changes everything- from how developers grow to how companies hire and upskill tech talent. We’re embracing this shift head-on and reinventing our products to meet the moment.

We’re a high-performing, mission-driven team that truly, madly, deeply cares about what we do. We don’t see velocity and quality as tradeoffs; both matter. If you take pride in high-impact work and thrive in a driven team, HackerRank is where you belong.

About the role
Skills: Node.js, Python, TypeScript

At HackerRank, we are on a mission to change the world to value skills over pedigree. We are a high-performing, mission-driven team that truly, madly, deeply cares about what we do. We don’t see velocity and quality as tradeoffs; both matter. If you take pride in high-impact work and thrive in a driven team, HackerRank is where you belong.

About the role

The Integrations Team owns the pipelines that enable data to flow in and out of HackerRank, allowing customers to use HackerRank products from any third-party tool seamlessly. We meet the customers where they are from Applicant Tracking Systems to communication tools such as Slack and Zoom. Integration is a critical part of the business and is one of the many reasons why customers choose HackerRank. Making this seem simple to customers means abstracting away the complexities of making systems talk to each other in a scalable and resilient way, and that wouldn’t be possible without a team of skilled engineers.

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll play a technical leadership role in designing, building, and supporting world-class integrations. You’ll break down complex business and product challenges into engineering work, partner closely with peers across teams, and deliver solutions that raise the bar for reliability and excellence.

What you’ll do

  • Design and deliver high-scale, resilient integrations that power HackerRank’s ecosystem.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to break down, prioritize, and execute integration work.
  • Support enterprise customers with complex integration needs.
  • Continuously improve HackerRank’s engineering practices and standards.
  • Use AI-powered development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and automation workflows.

Who you are

  • An experienced engineer with 5+ years in the field, including 4+ years building and maintaining production systems in TypeScript and Node.js.
  • A technical leader with at least a year of experience guiding projects or mentoring teammates.
  • Someone who holds a high bar for code quality, testing, and operational reliability.
  • Comfortable using AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT to move faster and ship better code.

Even better if you have

  • Run temporal in production, and worked with Nest.js to build reliable, scalable services.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or similar cloud infrastructure, and familiarity with enterprise integration patterns and ATS platforms.
  • Built internal tooling or automation powered by AI/LLMs to reduce manual effort and improve developer productivity.

You’ll thrive in this role if

  • Designing complex systems excites you, and you deliver impact with every commit.
  • Operational excellence and reliability are principles you care deeply about.
  • Collaboration is second nature, you’ve worked across teams to drive meaningful outcomes.
  • You hold yourself and others to a high bar of engineering excellence.

Compensation

  • Base salary range: $150,000 – $172,000.
  • This range doesn’t include bonuses, stock options, or benefits for which you will be eligible.
  • Final offer may vary based on skills, experience, location, and other compensation components.  
Technology

We work across a modern, scalable tech stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, and Postgres. Our engineering team builds products that directly impact how developers get discovered, evaluated, and hired globally. We're currently building next-gen developer workflows using AI; think intelligent auto-scoring, AI-powered question generation, and adaptive skill insights. We’re also reimagining core experiences across assessments, interviews, and candidate engagement to make hiring faster, fairer, and more human.
