About the role
We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to own the platform foundations everything else at Nametag is built on. Most engineering roles here ship features. This one owns the substrate: the data model, the Postgres layer beneath it, the public APIs our customers build against, the multi-region architecture that lets us serve customers who cannot let data leave their jurisdiction, and the governance machinery that makes our claims about data handling true rather than aspirational. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years building and operating production backend systems
- Deep PostgreSQL experience — schema design, query optimization, and migrations on live systems with real data
- Strong backend skills in Go, Node.js, Python, Java, or similar, plus enough frontend ability to build internal tooling in React or a comparable framework
- Experience designing and maintaining APIs used by real customers, including the versioning and compatibility discipline that entails
- Hands-on cloud experience, AWS preferred, including storage, IAM, and encryption primitives
- Experience handling sensitive or regulated data where access control, retention, and deletion were hard requirements rather than aspirations

We are building the identity verification and account protection layer companies use to answer that question quickly, securely, and with less friction for real users.

That last part is not a compliance footnote. We hold government-issued identity documents, selfies, and biometric signals. Customers ask us exactly where that data lives, who can reach it, how long we keep it, and what happens when...
