What this role is

You are an engineer who leads projects at the scope of a service or major subsystem.

That means: when a problem lands on your desk, it's usually ambiguous. Your job is to turn it into a clear problem statement, design a system to solve it, ship it through to production, and own how it behaves once it's there. You'll work with one or two engineers on most projects, and you'll be the technical person product, ops, and other engineering teams talk to about that domain.

You're not a senior individual contributor who only writes code for assigned tickets. You're not a tech lead who's stopped writing code. You're the person between those two — still hands-on, but increasingly the one shaping what gets built.


What you'll do

  • Solve 2–4 complex problems a year end-to-end: shape the problem, design the system, ship it, monitor it.
  • Design single-service systems independently. Define API contracts, data models, scale and reliability requirements. Document and review your design with peers before building.
  • Turn ambiguity into clarity. Take half-formed product tasks and partner with PMs to define what's actually being built. Push back when the ask doesn't make sense.
  • Stay hands-on. Write code that goes into production. Drive code reviews. Debug across service boundaries. Refactor when the codebase needs it.
  • Mentor 1–2 junior engineers. Be someone's first reviewer. Pair when it helps. Take their growth as your responsibility, not a side activity.
  • Be in hiring. Interview candidates regularly. Help shape the interview bar for your function.
  • Own outcomes, not output. Track the business or operational metric your work moves. If it doesn't move, that's a problem you own — not a problem you delivered to.


What we're looking for

  • Over 4 years of professional experience in software development, specifically focused on solving large-scale technical challenges.
  • Expert-level proficiency in at least one major programming language (such as Java, GO, Rust, NodeJS etc) with a focus on writing scalable, maintainable, and unit-tested code.
  • Strong command of object-oriented design, design patterns, and the creation of intuitive class-level interfaces.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  • Deep understanding of relational databases (Postgres) and various NoSQL technologies like HBase, Elasticsearch, or Aerospike, Cassandra
  • Comprehensive knowledge of the full software development life cycle on Linux platforms.
  • Proven ability to build highly scalable applications that manage complex business logic and massive datasets.
  • A proactive, "go-getter" mindset characterized by high energy and dedication to task ownership.
  • Experience thriving in fast-paced startup environments with a strong sense of commitment and accountability.
  • A passionate drive to tackle complex, real-world problems through innovative engineering.
  • You've made and defended technical decisions, picked up problems no one assigned, or built things people use that no one asked for.
  • Strong fundamentals in your primary stack — concurrency, data modeling, debugging across systems, performance work. We're stack-agnostic for the right person.
  • Experience designing systems with explicit attention to scale, reliability, and cost — not just functional correctness.
  • Collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to monitor project outcomes and iteratively refine features based on real-world impact.

Why This Role Matters

Our backend is what keeps checkout, RTO, and payments fast and reliable at ~$2B GMV across 15,000+ merchants. As an SDE 2 you own services end to end, make the architecture calls that keep them performant, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you. The trade-offs you pick show up directly in merchant conversions and platform reliability - this is a builder's seat with real ownership.

What You'll Own

  • Design and build backend services primarily in Node.js/NestJS, with Go for select services, backed by Postgres, Mongo, and Redis.
  • Own event-driven flows on Kafka - throughput, ordering, and failure handling.
  • Make and document the architecture and trade-off decisions for systems you lead.
  • 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.

Role- Sr Senior Engineer 

Location -Hyderabad 

Shift -Night Shift starts from 8:30 PM IST 


About The Role

As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:


- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email


 - The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time


 - Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach



You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.


Responsibilities Include:

- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them


 - Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable


 - Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it


 - Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel


 - Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable


 - Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work


 - Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against


 - Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim


 - Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise


 - Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for


 - Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship


 - Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn



What You Bring:


- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments


 - Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS


 - Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people


 - Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React


 - Experience with DynamoDB single-table design


 - Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services


 - At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it


 - Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes


 - Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment


 - A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet


 - Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners


-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture; 


multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines


Preferred:

 - Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them


 - Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship


 - Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services

Senior Backend Engineer

Node.js, System Design & Production Platforms

📍 Mumbai (On-site) | Full-time | 5+ years


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 Senior Backend Engineer to own the backend architecture of a complex production AI platform on a dedicated client engagement: API design and data modelling, multi-tenancy, orchestration of long-running agent workloads, and the services that manage user projects and generated output.

We are open to full stack engineers whose primary strength and interest is backend. If you have shipped full stack work but the backend is where you do your deepest engineering, you are a fit for this role.

The mandatory requirement for this role is hands-on production experience as a senior backend engineer building complex, scalable systems in Node.js, with end-to-end ownership of architecture, data, and operations on at least one live platform.

The role is hands-on and architectural.

Expect to design system architecture, lead a small group of backend engineers, build the hardest parts yourself, set engineering standards, and partner closely with frontend, AI, and DevOps engineers.

A typical week includes an architecture decision on a new service, hands-on implementation of a critical path, a code review with mid-level engineers, and a working session with the AI engineer on an integration contract.


Responsibilities:

System Architecture

Own the backend architecture across engagements.

Make and document decisions on service boundaries, data models, API contracts, deployment topology, and trade-offs.


Hands-on Backend Delivery

Lead by example on complex modules, performance-critical paths, and high-risk areas using Node.js (Express, NestJS, Fastify) with TypeScript.

Pick up Python (FastAPI) where engagements require it.


Database Design and Performance

Drive PostgreSQL schema design, indexing, query optimisation, migrations, and capacity planning.

Set the data-modelling standard across the pod.


Caching, Queues, and Workflows

Design caching (Redis), event-driven patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, NATS), and long-running workflow orchestration (Temporal, BullMQ, Celery, or equivalent).

Handle retries, idempotency, and failure recovery.


Multi-Tenancy and Platform Patterns

Design and implement multi-tenant data isolation, RBAC, audit logging, and resource quotas appropriate to enterprise-grade products.


API and Integration Design

Set the standard for REST, GraphQL, and gRPC contracts.

Drive versioning, authentication (OAuth, JWT, SSO), security by default, and developer ergonomics.


Observability and Operations

Instrument services with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.

Define SLOs, lead incident response, and write postmortems.


Code Quality and Mentorship

Run code reviews, define conventions, mentor mid-level engineers, and raise the engineering bar.


AI-Assisted Engineering Discipline

Use Claude, Cursor, and similar tools day to day.

Set the team standard for prompts, patterns, AI-assisted review, and validation of AI-generated backend code.


Client Engagement

Represent Unico Connect in technical conversations with customers.

Defend architectural decisions, communicate trade-offs, and manage scope.


Requirements:

Hands-on Production Experience as a Senior or Lead Backend Engineer in Node.js (Mandatory)

Must have personally built and shipped complex production systems in Node.js, owning architecture, data, and operations on at least one live engagement.

Full stack engineers whose deepest work is on the backend qualify.

POCs and internal tools alone do not qualify.


5+ Years of Professional Backend Engineering Experience

With at least 1 to 2 years in a senior or lead role with direct responsibility for technical decisions and team output.


Deep Node.js and TypeScript Proficiency

Strong with Express, NestJS, or Fastify.

Comfort with async patterns, streams, worker threads, and performance profiling.


Python as a Strong Plus

Hands-on production experience with FastAPI, Django, or Flask is a meaningful advantage.

Willingness and demonstrated ability to pick up Python as engagements demand is required.


PostgreSQL Depth
