B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science from an IIT or NIT (mandatory) - 3+ years of professional software development experience in Rust, C++, or Java/Go with systems-level work; strong Rust proficiency or demonstrated ability to attain it fast - Understanding of financial markets and trading systems — order books, order types, matching concepts, spot and derivatives (futures/options) basics; hands-on experience with trading, broking, or market data systems is a strong plus - Excellent computer science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, concurrency
2. Solid grasp of multithreading and memory management; exposure to performance profiling and benchmarking
3. Understanding of distributed systems concepts — replication, consistency, message queues (Kafka/NATS or similar)
4. Experience with Linux, Git, and modern development workflows
5. Strong problem-solving ability and hunger to work on hard systems problems

Preferred

1. Competitive programming background (Codeforces/ICPC/CodeChef ratings welcome on the CV)
2. Personal or open-source Rust projects
3. Exposure to low-latency techniques — lock-free structures, zero-allocation design, binary protocols (SBE/Protobuf/FlatBuffers)
4. NISM certifications, trading experience (personal F&O/options trading counts), or coursework in financial engineering
5. Exposure to consensus algorithms (Raft), event sourcing, or deterministic testing

Growth Path

You will be mentored directly by senior systems engineers with deep exchange-infrastructure experience, with a defined progression to senior engineer ownership of subsystems within 18–24 months. This team is being built as a center of excellence in low-latency systems engineering in India.

Selection Process

1. Resume shortlisting (college + evidence of strong engineering: projects, CP ratings, internships)
2. Online DSA + systems assessment
3. Live coding round (Rust/C++, performance-oriented problem)
4. Systems and trading-concepts discussion round
5. Culture and ownership round with the senior engineer you will report to

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.

Responsibilities

API and service development: Design and build REST APIs in Node.js with TypeScript. Cover authentication, session management, input validation, structured error handling, streaming responses (SSE, WebSockets), and rate limiting. 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.

• Queue and background job systems. Hands-on with BullMQ, RabbitMQ, SQS, or equivalent. Experience managing retries, dead-letter queues, job priority, and concurrency control.

• AWS working knowledge. Comfortable with EC2, S3, RDS, SQS, and IAM. Familiar with Docker and basic deployment and environment management.

• Strong written and spoken English. Able to communicate clearly with engineers across disciplines and write precise technical documentation.

Nice to Have

Experience integrating with AI or LLM services (streaming responses, structured outputs, retry patterns); WebSocket or SSE implementation for real-time features; multi-tenant SaaS product experience; GraphQL; OpenTelemetry instrumentation; prior work on developer tools or editor-style products.
