Backend Developer

Role overview:

We are hiring one Senior Backend Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of our serverless backend — a hands-on IC role for someone both technically excellent and comfortable being one of the few people the entire backend depends on. You'll own the services across several Node.js and Python repositories, work directly with the founders and product team, and set the technical bar for reliability, security, and performance.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate AWS Lambda services across our HCM/workforce, project-management, commercial/revenue, permissions, and document domains — each comprising dozens of functions.
• Own the multi-tenant PostgreSQL data layer — schema design, query performance, and the permission/relationship model — end to end.
• Maintain and evolve the request path — API Gateway → custom Lambda authorizer → VPC-bound Lambda → private databases — including the runtime IAM/credential model that scopes every request.
• Safeguard tenant isolation and security across a per-company Cognito authentication model.
• Build and maintain integrations with external construction data environments (Asite, Autodesk Construction Cloud), including large-scale document synchronization.
• Optimize performance and reliability to keep latency-sensitive endpoints well within platform limits under growing load.
• Raise the engineering bar — testing, observability, CI/CD, and modernization of legacy components.
• Debug and resolve production incidents to root cause, and put safeguards in place so they don't recur.
• Document decisions and designs and collaborate with the frontend (Angular) and product teams.

Challenges you'll solve.

We prefer to be candid — these are the problems that make this role genuinely interesting:

Latency under a hard ceiling

API Gateway terminates any request beyond ~29 seconds regardless of the Lambda's own timeout — yet much of our value comes from heavy cross-project reporting. You'll keep p95 latency within budget through set-based SQL, pagination, streaming, and asynchronous processing.

Least-privilege, per-request security

A shared custom authorizer mints short-lived, request-scoped credentials via sts:AssumeRole under a strict 2,048-character inline session-policy limit. You'll design permission models that stay within that budget and reason about IAM precisely.

Graph-shaped data, relational store

The permission and relationship model is inherently graph-like, but lives in PostgreSQL — you'll model it with recursive queries, careful indexing, and set-based traversal rather than reaching for a separate graph engine.

Watertight multi-tenancy

One Cognito pool per company and tenant-scoped access throughout — isolation is a first-order concern.

VPC-bound serverless

Lambdas run inside a VPC to reach private databases; you'll manage cold starts, connection lifecycles, and pool limits.

Resilient external integrations

Syncing large document sets from third-party APIs (including SOAP/XML) demands backpressure, deduplication, retries, and graceful partial-failure handling.

Compute-heavy workloads

Server-side PDF generation, image processing, and multi-currency handling within Lambda's memory and time constraints.

The stack.

Runtime — Node.js, Python, AWS Lambda

AWS services — -1 API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito, STS / IAM, Secrets Manager, S3 CloudWatch, VPC, EC2

Infrastructure & CI/CD- AWS SAM, CodePipeline → CodeBuild Shared Data —PostgreSQL

Qualifications.

• 5+ years building and operating production backend systems.
• Deep expertise in Node.js and JavaScript — the asynchronous model, event loop, and memory behavior — plus solid working proficiency in Python and its production behavior.
• Strong hands-on AWS experience, ideally serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, IAM/STS, VPC, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch) — able to reason about IAM policies, not just apply them.
• Advanced SQL and relational data modeling — set-based query design and a working understanding of why N+1 patterns cause production issues.
• Proven production-debugging ability — root-cause analysis in distributed systems from logs and first principles.
• Strong ownership, sound judgment, and clear written communication — able to make good decisions with incomplete information and explain trade-offs to non-engineers.

Interview Process:

Introductory call-Mutual fit and role overview.

Technical deep-dive- A walkthrough of a challenging production problem you have owned.

Practical exercise -A realistic backend task, or a walkthrough of your own representative code.

System design- Collaborative design on a real scenario.

Final conversation- Values, ownership, compensation, and offer.

About the company

A profitable, venture-backed startup building B2B API infrastructure for the HR and people operations ecosystem. The platform provides a unified integration layer across HR, payroll, benefits, and related systems, helping software companies connect to and manage these integrations without building them individually.

The company serves mid-market and enterprise customers, including organizations in regulated industries, and is looking to hire a senior engineer who can act as a second technical owner alongside the CTO.

What's broken or missing that we need help with

• Write APIs: The platform already supports read operations across a large number of systems. Write APIs are where the real complexity lies: payroll deductions, employee creation, benefits enrollment, and other critical workflows. Every write API is part research project (understanding undocumented behavior) and part reliability problem (idempotency, retries, partial failures). We need someone who can own this surface end-to-end.
• On-prem deployments: Enterprise customers need the platform deployed within their own VPC or infrastructure environments. One such deployment has already been completed. We now need a clean, repeatable pattern that can scale across future customers.
• Hiring: You'll play a significant role in interviewing engineering candidates over the next 12 months. The quality of the next set of hires will have a meaningful impact on the future of the engineering organization.

What this role really is

• This is a senior IC role with leverage, not a manager role.
• You'll spend most days writing code, but the code you write should remove constraints for the rest of the team rather than simply close tickets.
• You'll serve as a second opinion on difficult design decisions, a code reviewer who raises the engineering bar, and someone engineers can escalate to when they're stuck.
• You'll also take on responsibilities that occasionally overlap with leadership work: interviewing, mentoring, and helping resolve technical disagreements, but as a peer and technical leader rather than a people manager.

Your first six months, roughly

• Month 1: Onboard deeply. Read the codebase. Participate in architecture discussions. Focus on understanding before changing things.
• Months 2–3: Pick one of the key problem areas above, most likely Write APIs. Own it. Propose a plan, get buy-in, and begin execution.
• Month 4: Start running the senior side of the interview process. Help hire at least one engineer this quarter.
• Months 5–6: Ship meaningful infrastructure work. Participate in one on-call rotation per month. Become a second voice on architecture decisions that span multiple teams.

Who you are

• 5–8 years of production engineering experience
• Deep expertise in Python and Postgres
• FastAPI ideal
• You've built and operated systems that handle real load. Not Twitter scale, but real customers losing real money when things break.
• You've worked at a startup before and know how to ship without every safety net in place
• You've designed APIs that other engineers consume and can clearly explain technical trade-offs
• You've mentored both junior and senior engineers and know how to give feedback that lands
• You're calm under pressure

Who you are not

• A people manager looking to return to IC work as a temporary stop. This role is intended for someone who wants to remain deeply technical.
• An architect who prefers design discussions over writing production code. The role is hands-on.
• Someone whose experience has been exclusively in large technology companies. If you've never worked in an environment where customer context is highly visible, the transition may require adjustment.
• Someone who needs every problem to be greenfield. You'll spend meaningful time working within an existing codebase and improving systems you didn't originally build.

The Offer

• Cash: Competitive compensation for a profitable startup at this stage.
• Equity: ESOPs with a 4-year vesting schedule and 1-year cliff.
• Location: Bengaluru. Relocation support available.
• Reporting: Directly to the CTO with a close working relationship.
• Equipment & health: MacBook Pro and dependent health insurance.
