Node.js Developer

Position Overview

Join Veryfi as a Node.js Developer & Technical Account Manager (LATAM) and play a critical role in building, deploying, and supporting WhatsApp-based loyalty and promotional campaigns for leading CPG brands across Latin America.

This hybrid role combines hands-on backend development, customer-facing technical ownership, and campaign operations. You will design and build WhatsApp bots using Node.js, integrate with Veryfi’s OCR & data extraction APIs, and act as the technical lead for campaigns—from kickoff to post-campaign reporting.

You’ll work directly with brands, agencies, and internal teams to ensure campaigns launch smoothly, scale reliably, and deliver measurable business results.
