About the role
We are hiring a Principal Engineer to own the hardest technical problems in our product and see them through from first sketch to stable production. You will set technical direction, design systems that scale, and raise the engineering bar through your own work and the people around you. This is a hands-on leadership role: you write code, review designs, and ship.
What will you do?
You will own outcomes, not just tasks. Expect to spend your time on the following.
• Own projects end to end. Take an ambiguous problem, shape the requirements, design the solution, break down the work, deliver it to production, and stay accountable for how it runs afterwards.
• Lead system design. Author and review architecture for services, data pipelines and integrations, with clear trade-offs on scale, latency, cost, consistency and reliability.
• Write and review critical code. Build the hardest components yourself, and set standards for code quality, testing and maintainability through code and design reviews.
• Own deployment and operations. Design CI/CD, infrastructure and release strategies. Drive observability, on-call readiness, incident response and post-incident learning.
• Solve hard problems. Debug production issues across the stack, and find root causes in performance, concurrency, data and scaling problems.
• Mentor and multiply. Coach senior and junior engineers, grow future tech leads, and make the whole team faster and more confident.
• Partner across functions. Work with product, design, data and business teams to turn goals into technical plans, and to say no or reshape scope when needed.
• Shape technical strategy. Guide build-versus-buy decisions, manage tech debt, evaluate new technologies, and contribute to the engineering roadmap.
• Raise the bar. Help define engineering practices, hiring standards and culture, and take part in interviewing.
What are we looking for?
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Core engineering
• 10+ years of professional software engineering, with a track record of shipping and running production systems.
• Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms and complexity, operating systems, networking, databases and concurrency.
• Fluency in at least one major backend language (for example Python, Go, Java, or Node.js/ TypeScript) and the ability to pick up others quickly.
• Deep knowledge of relational and NoSQL data stores: schema design, indexing, transactions, query tuning and replication.
System design and problem solving
• Proven ability to design distributed systems that are scalable, fault tolerant and cost aware, and to explain the trade-offs clearly.
• Experience with APIs, event-driven and asynchronous architectures, queues, caching and service-to-service communication.
• A structured approach to ambiguous problems: break them down, test assumptions, decide with incomplete data, and measure results.
• Strong debugging instincts, including performance profiling and production troubleshooting.
Delivery and operations
• Have led at least two significant projects from inception to production, including planning, milestones, risk management and launch.
• Hands-on experience with deployment: CI/CD pipelines, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), a major cloud (AWS, GCP or Azure), and infrastructure as code.
• Practical experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, SLOs and incident management.
• Habit of writing tests and automation, and of leaving systems more reliable than you found them.
Leadership and communication
• Experience leading engineers without formal authority, through influence, mentoring and clear technical writing.
• Excellent written and verbal communication: design docs, RFCs and concise updates to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ownership mindset, sound judgment on priorities, and comfort working in a fast-moving environment.
Nice to have
• Experience in fintech, lending or another regulated, data-heavy domain.
• Exposure to AI/ML or LLM-based systems in production: model serving, evaluation, retrieval, and cost and latency management.
• Deep experience with data engineering: streaming, batch pipelines, warehouses or search systems.
• Security and compliance awareness: authentication, encryption, audit trails, secure SDLC.
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS, high-throughput systems or zero downtime migrations.
• Open-source contributions, conference talks, or technical writing.
• Experience scaling an engineering team or helping set up hiring and onboarding practices.

- Take ambiguous problems and drive them to delivery with minimal hand-holding.
Who You Are
- Strong backend engineer in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js/NestJS (our primary stack); working knowledge of Go, or ready to pick it up.
- Solid at data modelling across Postgres and Mongo, and knows when Redis earns its place.
- Has built and scaled event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent).
- At home on the backend but happy to work across the stack in React/Svelte.
- Thinks in systems - scalability, reliability, maintainability - not just features.
- Has mentored engineers and owns code quality and delivery, not just their own tickets.
- Communicates clearly and does well with ambiguity in a fast-moving team.

What this role is
You are an engineer who leads projects at the scope of a service or major subsystem.
That means: when a problem lands on your desk, it's usually ambiguous. Your job is to turn it into a clear problem statement, design a system to solve it, ship it through to production, and own how it behaves once it's there. You'll work with one or two engineers on most projects, and you'll be the technical person product, ops, and other engineering teams talk to about that domain.
You're not a senior individual contributor who only writes code for assigned tickets. You're not a tech lead who's stopped writing code. You're the person between those two — still hands-on, but increasingly the one shaping what gets built.
What you'll do
- Solve 2–4 complex problems a year end-to-end: shape the problem, design the system, ship it, monitor it.
- Design single-service systems independently. Define API contracts, data models, scale and reliability requirements. Document and review your design with peers before building.
- Turn ambiguity into clarity. Take half-formed product tasks and partner with PMs to define what's actually being built. Push back when the ask doesn't make sense.
- Stay hands-on. Write code that goes into production. Drive code reviews. Debug across service boundaries. Refactor when the codebase needs it.
- Mentor 1–2 junior engineers. Be someone's first reviewer. Pair when it helps. Take their growth as your responsibility, not a side activity.
- Be in hiring. Interview candidates regularly. Help shape the interview bar for your function.
- Own outcomes, not output. Track the business or operational metric your work moves. If it doesn't move, that's a problem you own — not a problem you delivered to.
What we're looking for
- Over 4 years of professional experience in software development, specifically focused on solving large-scale technical challenges.
- Expert-level proficiency in at least one major programming language (such as Java, GO, Rust, NodeJS etc) with a focus on writing scalable, maintainable, and unit-tested code.
- Strong command of object-oriented design, design patterns, and the creation of intuitive class-level interfaces.
- Hands-on experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
- Deep understanding of relational databases (Postgres) and various NoSQL technologies like HBase, Elasticsearch, or Aerospike, Cassandra
- Comprehensive knowledge of the full software development life cycle on Linux platforms.
- Proven ability to build highly scalable applications that manage complex business logic and massive datasets.
- A proactive, "go-getter" mindset characterized by high energy and dedication to task ownership.
- Experience thriving in fast-paced startup environments with a strong sense of commitment and accountability.
- A passionate drive to tackle complex, real-world problems through innovative engineering.
- You've made and defended technical decisions, picked up problems no one assigned, or built things people use that no one asked for.
- Strong fundamentals in your primary stack — concurrency, data modeling, debugging across systems, performance work. We're stack-agnostic for the right person.
- Experience designing systems with explicit attention to scale, reliability, and cost — not just functional correctness.
- Collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to monitor project outcomes and iteratively refine features based on real-world impact.
About the Role
Unico Connect is an AI-first technology partner that builds custom mobile, web, and AI products for clients across multiple geographies. We are hiring a Backend Engineer for a dedicated client engagement building an AI-powered application builder platform.
The backend is the operational core of the product: it manages user projects and sessions, coordinates long-running AI agent workloads, maintains project state, and serves as the integration layer between the frontend, the AI system, and the underlying infrastructure.
The mandatory requirement is hands-on production experience shipping Node.js services, with end-to-end ownership of API design, data modelling, and at least one production system involving background job processing or event-driven patterns.

Maintain clean API contracts that the frontend and AI system can rely on.
Database design and management: Own PostgreSQL schema design for product domains including user accounts, projects, file trees, session state, and generated artefacts. Write efficient queries, manage migrations, and optimise for read patterns that serve a real-time editor experience.
Caching strategy: Implement and maintain caching with Redis for session data, project state, and frequently read configuration. Design cache invalidation logic that keeps the editor experience consistent without stale reads.
Queue and background job management: Implement and operate background job infrastructure using BullMQ or equivalent. AI agent runs are long-running and stateful; handle retries, failure states, priority queues, and concurrency limits.
AI system integration: Build the integration layer between the backend and the AI agent system. Manage job dispatch, result handling, streaming output to the frontend, and error propagation.
Multi-tenancy and access control: Implement tenant data isolation, RBAC, and resource ownership enforcement across all API surfaces.
Observability and reliability: Instrument services with structured logging, metrics, and tracing. Write defensive code with sensible timeouts, fallback behaviour, and circuit breaking on external dependencies.
Testing and code quality: Write unit and integration tests for the services you ship. Review the work of peers and contribute to shared engineering conventions.
Requirements
• Hands-on production Node.js experience (mandatory) — must have personally shipped at least one feature area end to end in a production Node.js service, owning API design, data modelling, and testing.
• 3 to 5 years of professional backend engineering experience. Candidates with slightly less time but strong demonstrated ownership are welcome to apply.
• Strong Node.js and TypeScript. Production experience with Express, NestJS, or Fastify. Solid with async patterns, streaming, error handling, and building services that run reliably under sustained load.
• PostgreSQL depth. Schema design, query writing, indexing, and migrations on at least one production system.
• Redis and caching. Production experience using Redis for caching and session management. Understands cache invalidation trade-offs.
