Backend Engineer at Jumeau Capital · Bengaluru (Bangalore) · 5 - 8 years · ₹30L - ₹45L / yr · Posted 19 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.

- Ship features end to end, dropping into the frontend (React/Svelte) when it's the fastest path.
- Strengthen CI/CD, observability, and deployments on AWS.
- Review code, mentor SDE 1s and AEs, and raise the quality bar on the team.
- 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.

Roles and Responsibilities
- Build features across the stack — Implement product features that span the React frontend, the GraphQL federation, the Node.js microservices, and the underlying Postgres and ClickHouse stores.
- GraphQL federation work — Add types, resolvers, and subgraph capabilities to the federated Platform API. Keep subgraph boundaries clean. Respect RBAC enforcement at the federation layer.
- Developer experience surfaces — Lift NPS through intuitive UI/UX, fast onboarding, in-browser testing, clear error states, code-snippet generation, and fast time-to-first-successful-call.
- Billing and commerce features — Ship subscription, plan, invoice, payout, and overage features that touch Stripe / PayPal webhooks, the billing state machine, and the usage ledger.
- API catalog and discovery — Improve marketplace search and the API listing experience, including the ranking signals that flow in from the analytics and search stack.

- The GraphQL federation surface you touch stays fast, well-typed, and intuitive for the next engineer.
- Billing, subscription, and overage flows you build are accurate, auditable, and replayable — providers and consumers trust the numbers.
- ou ship at a confident cadence — PRs land daily, deploys are routine and boring, regressions are rare.
- You leave the code, the docs, and the tests in better shape than you found them.
What You Bring
- 4–7 years of full-stack product engineering experience, with non-trivial work on production systems used by real customers.
- Strong TypeScript/Node.js; comfort writing both frontend (React) and backend services.
- Hands-on GraphQL experience — ideally federation (Apollo Federation / Mercurius / similar), schema design, subgraph composition, persisted queries, performance tuning.
- Solid SQL and comfort with MySQL or Postgres in production; bonus for ClickHouse or Redis experience.
- Familiarity with AWS (EKS, Lambda, Aurora) and containerised deployment on Kubernetes.
- Comfortable with modern observability, feature flags, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Care for developer experience — APIs you would want to consume, docs you would want to read, errors you would want to debug.
- Bonus: experience with billing/commerce systems (Stripe / PayPal), API gateways, rate-limiting, agent protocols (MCP, A2A, x402), or LLM-based developer tooling.
- You are pragmatic, ship-oriented, and comfortable in a system big enough that no one person knows all of it.
