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.

Microservices

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong background in building distributed, scalable, and high-performance backend systems. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years in microservices or distributed architecture, and deep expertise in Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, and async I/O patterns.

The candidate will own backend services end-to-end — from architecture and design to implementation, optimization, and production support — while working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. Backend Architecture & Development

  • Architect, design, and implement backend services using Python (preferably FastAPI) with clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
  • Develop microservice components, service communication layers, and distributed workflows.
  • Build APIs and backend modules optimized for performance, fault tolerance, and low latency.

2. Distributed Systems & Scalability

  • Design and maintain distributed systems capable of handling high throughput and large-scale operations.
  • Implement inter-service communication patterns (REST, event-driven, message queues, pub/sub).
  • Ensure system resiliency through redundancy, graceful degradation, and autoscaling strategies.

3. Asynchronous & Event-Driven Architecture

  • Build async workflows, background tasks, and pipeline services leveraging asyncio or async frameworks.
  • Develop event-driven components including producers, consumers, and event processors.
  • Optimize I/O-heavy operations to maximize concurrency and throughput.

4. Data Storage, Pipelines & Caching

  • Design relational schemas, write optimized SQL queries, and work with PostgreSQL performance tuning (indexes, partitions, query planning).
  • Implement caching strategies, rate limiting, distributed locks, and session storage using Redis.
  • Build data validation pipelines and compliance-driven data flows ensuring data correctness and auditability.

5. Security, Reliability & Observability

  • Implement authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API practices.
  • Build monitoring, alerting, metrics, and tracing systems using modern observability tools.
  • Diagnose production issues, identify bottlenecks, and drive long-term fixes and improvements.

6. Code Quality & Technical Leadership

  • Conduct detailed code reviews and ensure engineering best practices across the team.
  • Participate in technical roadmap planning, architectural discussions, and system design decisions.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; drive a culture of technical excellence and ownership.

Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years backend engineering experience.
  • 3+ years building microservices or distributed systems.
  • Strong expertise in Python and frameworks like FastAPI (or Flask/Django with async exposure).
  • Deep understanding of async I/O, concurrency models, and asynchronous programming in Python.
  • Strong experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, advanced queries, optimization).
  • Hands-on experience with Redis for caching, queues, session management, and distributed patterns.
  • Experience with event-driven architectures, message processing, or streaming systems.
  • Solid understanding of system design, scalability principles, and API lifecycle management.
  • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and cloud environments.
