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.

Key Responsibilities • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend applications using Node.js, TypeScript, and Express.js. • Build and maintain microservices-based applications and APIs. • Work with MongoDB and at least one SQL database. • Implement Redis caching to improve application performance and scalability. • Work with AWS cloud services and support cloud-based application deployment. • Apply good understanding of network and infrastructure concepts while developing and troubleshooting applications. • Build and maintain CIICD pipelines for automated build, testing, and deployment. • use Git effectively for source control and collaborative development. • Containerize and deploy applications using Docker. • Write and maintain unit test cases using appropriate testing tools/frameworks. • Troubleshoot performance, scalability, and production issues and implement effective solutions. • Take end-to-end ownership of assigned modules and deliverables. • Work independently with minimal supervision and proactively resolve technical challenges.

Must-Have Skills • Node.js • TypeScript • Express.js • MongoDB • SQL — any one SQL database • Redis/ Redis Caching • AWSCloud • Network & Infrastructure fundamentals • Microservices Architecture • Docker • CI/CD Git • unit Testing / Test Automation • Abilityto work independently and take ownership Good to Have • Microsoft Azure knowledge • Experience working With Code Bots / Al-assisted development tools Lead N s Developer Pune • Domain experience in FinTech, Travel, ERP, or IoT Experience &
