Backend Developer at MindBridge · Bengaluru (Bangalore) · 5 - 8 years · ₹35L - ₹40L / yr · Bootstrapped · Posted 12 Oct 2026

About the Role
We are hiring a Backend Engineer to build and operate the services that power a leading technology marketplace being relaunched under new ownership.
You will work behind the GraphQL federation, inside the ~40 microservices that own billing, subscriptions, the catalog, RBAC, the proxy's control plane, and the Analytics/Quota services. The runtime is Node.js/TypeScript on AWS EKS, with Aurora MySQL / Postgres and DynamoDB for state, Redis / Elasticache / Couchbase for caching, Kafka (MSK) and Kinesis as the event backbone, and ClickHouse for real-time analytics reads. Every consumer-to-provider call passes through the proxy your services configure, and every dollar of marketplace revenue flows through the commerce code your services own.
Roles and Responsibilities
· Build and operate services — Design, ship, and run Node.js/TypeScript services that sit behind the GraphQL federation. Own a slice of the ~40-service estate end-to-end: API design, schema, persistence, tests, deployment, on-call.
· GraphQL federation subgraphs — Add types, resolvers, and capabilities to the federated Platform API. Keep subgraph boundaries clean; respect RBAC at the federation enforcement layer.
· Commerce backbone — Build the subscription, invoicing, overage, dispute, and payout flows that integrate with Stripe and PayPal webhooks and the billing state machine. Make sure metering, billing, and payouts stay accurate, auditable, and replayable.
· Proxy control plane — Build the management APIs and background workers that configure the runtime proxy: API keys, plans, rate-limit policies, quota caches, abuse signals.
· Event-driven systems — Produce and consume Kafka and Kinesis events safely: schema evolution, idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling. Operate Lambda consumers where they're the right tool.
· Data services — Help own the Node.js Analytics Service and Quota Service that front ClickHouse and Snowflake. Keep latency low, queries cheap, and authorisation correct.
· Performance and reliability — Diagnose hot paths, tune queries, add caches where they matter, and remove caches that have become liabilities. Write the SLOs and the alerts that defend them.
· Security isolation — Implement OAuth2 / JWT / mTLS where they belong; respect least-privilege; design APIs that fail closed.
· On-call and incident response — Take part in the rotation. Lead investigations across services when something rooted in your area breaks.
· LLM-assisted engineering — Use LLM-based coding and agentic tooling to evolve how features are designed, reviewed, and tested.
What Success Looks Like
• Services you own meet their SLOs, deploy multiple times a day, and rarely wake anyone up.
• Billing, subscription, overage, and payout flows you ship are accurate to the cent, replayable, and trusted by both providers and consumers.
• GraphQL subgraphs you maintain stay fast, well-typed, and pleasant to extend.
• Event pipelines you produce and consume are idempotent, observable, and survive replay and back-pressure.
• The first generation of agent-native primitives you help build land in production and start carrying real agent traffic.
What You Bring
• 5–8 years of backend engineering experience, with non-trivial work on production services that real customers depended on.
• Strong TypeScript / Node.js in a production service environment; comfort with async patterns, streams, and back-pressure.
• Solid API design — REST and GraphQL (ideally federation: Apollo Federation, Mercurius, or similar). Schema design, persisted queries, performance tuning.
• Production fluency with SQL — MySQL and/or Postgres. Bonus for Redis or ClickHouse.
• Experience with event-driven systems — Kafka or similar. You understand idempotency, exactly-once myths, and consumer lag.
• Hands-on AWS (EKS, MSK, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Lambda, DMS) and Kubernetes. Comfortable reading and writing Terraform.
• Modern engineering practice: observability, feature flags, CI/CD, and safe rollouts.
• Care for correctness on the money path — you have shipped billing, metering, or payment code before and have the scars to show for it.
• Bonus: experience with API gateways, rate limiting, quota enforcement, usage metering, agent protocols (MCP, A2A, x402), or LLM-based developer tooling.
• You write small, reviewable PRs. You add the test before you fix the bug. You would rather ship a smaller thing well than a bigger thing badly.

About The Role
As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:
- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email
- The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time
- Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach
You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.
Responsibilities Include:
- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them
- Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable
- Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it
- Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel
- Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable
- Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work
- Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against
- Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim
- Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise
- Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for
- Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship
- Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn
What You Bring:
- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments
- Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS
- Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people
- Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React
- Experience with DynamoDB single-table design
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services
- At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it
- Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes
- Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment
- A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet
- Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners
-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture;
multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines
Preferred:
- Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them
- Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship
- Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services
