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.

About PowerTech Digital

PowerTech Digital is a UK software development and digital consultancy working with enterprise clients on digital transformation, data architecture, and AI-enabled delivery. We're a small, senior team that ships fast by pairing strong engineering judgement with AI-native tooling — and we're productising that approach.

Prompt to Production is our newest service: organisations empower their workforce to build applications on AI platforms like Lovable, Bolt, and Claude, and we take those applications to secure, production-grade deployments on the client's own cloud — their identity, their policies, their infrastructure. Every release goes through the same governed pipeline: handover → security audit → hardening → deployment. You would own that pipeline.

The role

This is a hybrid delivery-and-product role. Roughly two-thirds is running and improving the Prompt to Production service end to end; the rest is full-stack product engineering on client builds and our own tooling. You'll work directly with the founder, with real autonomy, modern AI tooling as standard, and a clear brief: make the service so repeatable that every deployment is execution, not invention.

What you'll do

• Run the deployment pipeline: take applications built by citizen developers from a GitHub handover through security audit, remediation, hardening, and release to Azure (AWS/GCP as we expand).
• Lead handover calls (30–60 min) with the people who built the apps — understanding what they made, what it touches, and who needs access.
• Execute AI-assisted security audits using Claude Code against our published checklist — auth and authorisation, RLS policies, secrets handling, data exposure, dependency vulnerabilities — and produce our standardised audit report.
• Implement production hardening: migrate authentication to Microsoft Entra ID (tenant-locked app registrations), move secrets into Azure Key Vault, configure CI/CD with GitHub Actions and OIDC federated credentials.
• Own and improve the infrastructure templates (Bicep/Terraform + cloud-init): per-app resource groups, self-hosted Supabase stacks, automated backups to Blob Storage, monitoring with Application Insights.
• Operate live tier 2 stacks: updates, backup verification, restore tests, secret rotation.
• Build product: full-stack features on client engagements and internal tooling — including AI integration work (LLM APIs, agents, structured extraction, evals).
• Make the service better every cycle: tighten the audit checklist, automate the manual steps, improve the templates. Your job is to make your own job smaller.

What you must bring

• 3–6 years as a full-stack engineer with Node.js and TypeScript/React at the core — you're genuinely strong at building product, not just gluing services.
• Must have experience managing and maintaining self-hosted Supabase
• PostgreSQL in production; Supabase experience (RLS, auth, migrations, edge functions) is a significant advantage.
• Real Docker/Compose ownership and CI/CD you've built yourself (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Cloud fundamentals — ideally Azure (VMs, networking, Key Vault, Entra ID); strong AWS/GCP experience with willingness to go deep on Azure also works.
• AI integration experience in shipped products — you've built with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI), understand prompting, structured outputs, and where AI belongs (and doesn't) in a product.
• Security instincts: you think about what an app exposes before you think about what it does.
• Excellent written and spoken English — you'll run client-facing calls and write reports that IT directors file.

The mindset we're hiring for

Product engineering, not ticket-taking. You ask why before how, you'd rather delete a step than document it, you treat every deployment as a chance to improve the system that does deployments, and you're comfortable being the person accountable for something working in production. You already use AI tools as a force multiplier in your daily work — this role assumes it.

Nice to have

• Bicep or Terraform in anger; Linux server administration.
• Experience with AI app builders (Lovable, Bolt, v0) — even personal projects.
• Security certifications or OWASP familiarity; AZ-104/AZ-204.
• Experience working directly with clients or stakeholders in a consultancy setting.

Logistics & compensation

• Remote-first. Significant overlap with UK working hours required.
• Competitive compensation based on location and experience. [Adjust per market — e.g. ₹18–28 LPA for India-based candidates; contractor or EOR arrangement available.]
• Direct exposure to the full commercial picture of a productised service — how it's priced, sold, and scaled.

Founding Full-Stack Engineer / Technical Lead — X.re

We are building X.re — an AI-first CRM built specifically for real estate companies.

X.re is not another generic CRM. It is being designed around the real estate sales funnel, with AI-powered WhatsApp conversations, AI voice, lead scoring, workflow automation and advertising intelligence built into the system.

The product is already being built and is currently being tested with a real estate pilot client.

We are now looking for a senior engineer who can take ownership of the existing codebase and help take it from AI-assisted development into a robust, production-ready SaaS product.

What you'll be doing

• Take ownership of an existing Next.js + TypeScript codebase.
• Understand the existing architecture, database structure, APIs and application flows.
• Conduct a thorough engineering review and identify production, security, scalability and reliability risks.
• Refactor and improve the code where required rather than blindly rewriting the system.
• Build and maintain production-quality frontend and backend features.
• Design and maintain APIs, database models and integrations.
• Work on a multi-tenant SaaS architecture where each real estate brand has its own workspace and data isolation.
• Work closely with AI/LLM-powered features including chat, voice and lead intelligence.
• Work on WhatsApp Business API integrations, webhooks and messaging infrastructure.
• Build reliable automation and workflow functionality.
• Implement proper authentication, authorization, data isolation, logging, monitoring and error handling.
• Help establish engineering standards, testing and deployment practices.
• Eventually build and lead the engineering team as X.re scales.

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who has strong engineering judgment, not someone who simply knows a list of technologies.

You should be able to:

• Enter an unfamiliar codebase and understand it quickly.
• Identify what is well designed and what is technically risky.
• Take an MVP and turn it into production-grade software.
• Make pragmatic architectural decisions.
• Think about security, scalability, reliability and maintainability.
• Work independently and take ownership.
• Read and review code generated or assisted by AI.
• Know when AI-generated code is acceptable and when it needs to be redesigned.
• Build rather than just manage developers.

Technical requirements

Strong experience with:

• TypeScript
• Next.js / React
• Node.js
• REST APIs
• PostgreSQL / SQL
• Modern SaaS application architecture
• Cloud deployment
• Git and production development workflows

Experience with the following is a strong advantage:

• AI/LLM applications
• WhatsApp Business API
• Webhooks
• Multi-tenant SaaS
• API integrations
• Docker
• AWS or similar cloud platforms
• CI/CD
• Observability and production monitoring

One important thing

This is not a greenfield project.

The existing product has been built significantly with AI-assisted development.

We are specifically looking for an engineer who is comfortable inheriting an existing codebase, understanding it deeply, challenging its assumptions, fixing what needs fixing, and taking responsibility for making it production-ready.

You will not be expected to rewrite everything just because it wasn't originally written by you.

Why this role is different

You won't just be implementing tickets.

You'll have significant influence over:

• Engineering architecture
• Production readiness
• Technical standards
• Infrastructure
• AI integration strategy
• Product engineering decisions
• Future engineering team structure

If things go well, this role can grow into Head of Engineering / CTO-level ownership as X.re scales.

Location

Hyderabad preferred. Remote candidates across India may be considered for the right candidate.

Compensation

₹20–35 LPA + ESOP

Compensation will depend on experience and level of ownership.

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.
• Observability and quality — Instrument every feature you ship — logs, traces, and metrics are part of the definition of done, not a follow-up ticket. Write the alerts that page you, not someone else.
• Testing discipline — Own unit and integration tests for everything you ship; contribute to the end-to-end and contract test suites that protect the federation and the billing path. A feature without tests is not done.
• On-call and incident response — Take part in on-call rotations; investigate proxy errors, GraphQL federation timeouts, and billing webhook anomalies. You build it, you run it.
• LLM-assisted engineering — Use LLM-based coding and agentic tooling to evolve how features are shipped, reviewed, and tested.

What Success Looks Like

•  Features you ship measurably improve activation, time-to-first-successful-call, and developer NPS quarter over quarter.
• 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.
