A senior backend JD is not a junior frontend JD.
Calibrated to stack and seniority
A borrowed JD describes someone else’s role. Assay writes for the level and stack you’re actually hiring — the responsibilities and requirements shift with both.
Requirements your team will stand behind
Vague requirements produce noisy pipelines. A precise JD filters before you ever read an application.
The interview inherits the JD
The same role definition generates the interview: a code-review exercise for your stack, rubrics, and scorecards — so candidates are graded against what you posted, not gotcha puzzles.
How Assay works.
From role description to interview-ready in minutes.
- 1
Describe the role.
Title, key responsibilities, and what “good” looks like at your company.
- 2
Assay builds the guide.
Structured questions for each dimension, a leveled rubric, and a ready-to-use scorecard.
- 3
Run consistent interviews.
Every candidate gets the same questions, scored the same way. Decisions become evidence-driven.
What you actually get.
Every Assay output is built around the role you describe. Below are slices of what we generated with Assay for our own Senior Backend Engineer role — from the job description through the interview guide.
Senior Backend Engineer
Own the design and operation of the services behind our hiring platform: a Next.js application backed by Postgres and a Python analysis service. You’ll make schema, API, and reliability decisions that the rest of the team builds on.
What you’ll do
- Design and evolve Postgres schemas and the APIs over them, with row-level security as a first-class constraint
- Own reliability for a small fleet of containerized services — deploys, observability, and incident response
- Review code across the backend surface and raise the bar it sets
What we’re looking for
- Depth in a production Postgres — schema design, query performance, migration discipline
- Experience running containerized services in a small-team setting, where you are the on-call
- Judgment about when to build, when to buy, and when to delete
Senior Backend Engineer
We’re a small team building hiring tools that treat candidates like people and interviews like evidence. You’d be the engineer who owns the backend: the schemas, the services, and the calls that keep both honest. Small team, real ownership, no puzzle interviews — we’ll ask you to review code, not invert a binary tree on a whiteboard.
