Job Details

Who we are is what we do.

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. Our vision is to unlock global opportunity for every person, team, and business. Built for the way the world works today, Deel combines HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits, performance, and equipment management into one seamless platform. With AI-powered tools and a fully owned payroll infrastructure, Deel supports every worker type in 150+ countries—helping businesses scale smarter, faster, and more compliantly.

Among the largest globally distributed companies in the world, our team of 6,000 spans more than 100 countries, speaks 74 languages, and brings a connected and dynamic culture that drives continuous learning and innovation for our customers.

Why should you be part of our success story?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator’s top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $12 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

Get Ready To:

  • Collaborate in a Cross-Functional Team: Work closely with Frontend Engineers, Product Teams, Designers, and QA professionals to create seamless experiences.
  • Participate in Product Planning: From discovery to deployment, we value your input throughout all stages of the Software Development Lifecycle
  • Develop and Enhance Features: Collaborate to develop robust new features, APIs, and continuously improve our industry-leading products. Help find and fix bugs at "Deel Speed."
  • Provide an Exceptional, Customer-Centric Experience: Ensure top-tier products and services through quality engineering and attentive, customer-focused development.

What you’ll bring to the Team:

  • Expertise in Backend Development: Strong proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript best practices, along with experience in at least one other server-side language.
  • Database Mastery: You're a SQL guru, particularly with PostgreSQL, handling query optimization, data migrations, and database modeling.
  • Solid Grasp of OOP and Design Patterns: Strong understanding of object-oriented programming principles and design patterns, with experience in building and extending classes
  • Scalability Focus: Experience in designing systems for scalability, ensuring they manage rapid growth and increasing demands efficiently.
  • High-Volume Performance: Proven expertise in optimizing systems for large transaction volumes, handling concurrency, idempotency, and performance under load.
  • API Development: Skilled in building APIs, including input validation, JWT tokens, and ensuring security & scalability through queue-based systems.
  • Experience: at least 8 years of experience as a Software Engineer.

You're the Engineer We're Looking for if You:

  • Excel in Application Development: You thrive in designing, coding, testing, and maintaining applications using the tech stack mentioned above.
  • Thrive in Remote Collaboration: Excel in a remote-first environment with proactive communication and strong asynchronous collaboration skills to ensure alignment and effective teamwork. You’ve successfully worked in distributed teams
  • Blending Autonomy and Collaboration: You take ownership of projects while excelling in team environments, driving shared success.
