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.

 WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

 See http://www.juliet.space

 We're building Juliet, an AI that runs marketing end to end. Our users are marketers, founders, CEOs, growth leads, agencies, and SMBs — not developers. They

 tell Juliet the goal. She plans, writes production code, and ships real marketing: conversion-optimized websites, launch assets, campaigns, audits, autonomously.

 That's the engineering problem in one line: the humans in the loop can't read code, so the agent has to get it right on her own — plan, build, self-correct,

 recover, ship.

 Under the hood: a browser-based studio backed by cloud sandboxes, a real-time SSE streaming pipeline, and a LangGraph agent working across 83 tools and 63 skill

 modules. The agent isn't bolted onto the product. She is the product.

 Small team, big ambitions. You'll ship things users touch daily, not write tickets about them.

 ---

 THE ROLE

 We're hiring one architect-level backend engineer to own Juliet's agentic infrastructure end to end. That means the agent graph, the execution environment, the

 streaming pipeline, the state and memory systems — and setting technical direction for the engineers working alongside you.

 This is a player-coach seat. You'll still write code every day, and your architectural calls become the product. You'll work directly with the founder. No PMs in

 between.

 Frontend is part of the system. You won't be leading it, but you'll need to understand how the agent's output reaches the browser and be able to ship full-stack

 features when needed.

 ---

 THE STACK

 AI agent (primary): Python 3.11, LangGraph 1.x + LangChain, Anthropic / Google / OpenAI model providers

 API (primary): NestJS 11, Supabase, Redis, PostgreSQL, Server-Sent Events

 Infra (primary): Modal cloud sandboxes, Docker, Netlify deployments

 Frontend (secondary): Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Zustand, CodeMirror 6, XTerm.js

 Monorepo: Turborepo, pnpm

 ---

 WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

 The majority of your time is here:

 Agentic AI workflows — Design, extend, and harden the LangGraph agent graph: multi-step planning, code generation, tool dispatch, self-correction, and recovery

 across 83 tools and 63 skill modules. This is the core of the product.

 Real-time streaming architecture — The SSE pipeline that carries every agent action from the Python backend through NestJS to the browser: event framing,

 reconnection, health monitoring, interrupt handling for plan approvals and clarifying questions.

 Agent execution environments — Sandbox lifecycle on Modal: container spin-up, file sync, terminal I/O, command execution, and live preview with per-asset esbuild

 bundling. The agent lives here.

 State and memory systems — LangGraph Postgres checkpointers, middleware-injected context (goals, design docs, memory anchors), conversation summarization. How

 the agent knows what it knows.

 Backend API and data layer — NestJS services, Supabase schema, Redis caching, quota enforcement, webhook handling. The plumbing the agent depends on.

 Marketing intelligence pipelines — AEO, CRO, and brand-perception audit engines: multi-LLM probing, parallel inference, streamed structured reports, result

 caching. Audit-at-scale infrastructure.

 The remaining ~25% of your time:

 Full-stack product features — Collaboration (roles and permissions), the Netlify deployment pipeline, subscription and quota flows, onboarding. You'll ship these

 end to end — backend first, frontend to close the loop.

 ---

 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

 Must-have:

 - 8+ years of professional software engineering, including meaningful time as a tech lead or systems architect who owned something end to end. Closer to ten is

 the norm for people who thrive here.

 - Both worlds on your resume: engineering rigor inside a large company and 0-to-1 ownership at an early-stage startup.

 - Production agentic systems experience. You've built and operated LLM agent systems in production with LangGraph, LangChain, or equivalent — agent graphs, tool

 use, state management, prompt engineering, evals. This means well beyond calling a chat endpoint.

 - Strong Python. You design and ship production Python daily. The agent codebase is yours to own.

 - Architect-level system design. You can own how data flows across four services, make tradeoffs under uncertainty, and defend every call.

 - AI-native development workflow. You drive Claude Code, Codex, or similar agentic tools as everyday instruments — not occasionally. You have opinions about

 working with coding agents because you do it constantly.

 - Real-time backend systems. You've built SSE, WebSocket, or streaming API infrastructure in production — not just consumed it.

 - Strong TypeScript. The API layer and most product features are in TypeScript. You're productive in it.

 Strong plus:

 - Background in developer tools, IDEs, or coding/execution platforms

 - Container runtimes and sandboxed execution (Modal, E2B, Firecracker, or similar)

 - Depth in PostgreSQL, Redis, and Supabase

 - LLM observability and evals tooling (LangSmith or similar)

 - NestJS or equivalent Node.js API framework experience

 - React/Next.js — enough to ship a full-stack feature without handoff

 - Exposure to marketing, growth, or publisher-facing products

 ---

 WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

 You own the architecture. Not a feature factory. Not someone else's design doc. The technical execution of an AI product is yours to lead.

 The agent is the product. You're not adding AI to an existing system. You're building and operating the system that is the AI. Every architectural decision

 touches what Juliet can and can't do.

 Hard problems, always. The system spans cloud sandboxes, streaming infrastructure, multi-step agent graphs, and a full-stack web product — for non-technical

 users who can't course-correct a broken output. The bar is high.

 Small team, real leverage. Your code ships to users the same week. No layers of approval.

 ---

 HOW TO APPLY

 Send us:

 1. A short note on the most complex agentic system you've shipped: what broke, and what you'd redo. A link to something you've built that involves agent graphs, tool use, or autonomous multi-step execution

 2. What is one thing you would improve about Juliet? It could be a feature or a bug.

Most sales tools help you send emails. We’re building something different.

At Salesforge, we’re creating autonomous AI agents that can:

Find the right prospects

Generate highly personalized outreach

Run conversations

And book meetings

All without human involvement.

Why this is interesting

A lot of AI products stop at “generate text.” We’re focused on outcomes.

That means solving problems like:

How do you generate messages that actually get replies?

How do you evaluate and improve agent performance over time?

How do you orchestrate millions of AI-driven interactions reliably?

How do you combine structured data + LLMs in a way that scales?

If you enjoy working at the intersection of systems + AI + real-world feedback loops, this will feel like a playground.

What you’ll be working on

You won’t be maintaining legacy systems.

You’ll be:

Designing and building core backend systems that power our AI agents

Creating APIs and services that handle high-scale, real-time workflows

Working with queues (Kafka / SQS / RabbitMQ) to orchestrate async systems

Thinking deeply about performance, cost, and reliability in AI pipelines

Shipping features end-to-end with a small, senior team

The team

We’re a small group of experienced builders. We move quickly, care about quality, and avoid unnecessary process.

No layers of management.

No long planning cycles.

Lots of ownership and autonomy.

What we’re looking for

5+ years of backend engineering experience

Strong system design fundamentals

Experience with distributed systems and async processing

Familiarity with relational and/or document databases

Clear communicator, low ego, high ownership

Why join

You’ll work on a product where the output is measurable (meetings booked, revenue generated)

You’ll have real ownership from day one

You’ll be early in building a new category (AI sales agents)

You’ll grow as fast as we do
