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.

PostgreSQL Depth
Schema design, normalisation, indexing, query performance, migrations, and at least one production system where you owned the data model end to end.
Caching and Event-Driven Architecture
Hands-on with Redis (or equivalent) and message queues or event-driven patterns (RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka, NATS).
AWS Depth
Hands-on production experience with EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, ECR, and at least one of EKS, ECS, or Lambda.
Comfort owning deployment, monitoring, and cost.
System Design and End-to-End Ownership
Able to take an ambiguous problem, break it into components, evaluate alternatives, produce an architecture that holds up under review and load, plan execution, and ship with limited supervision.
AI-Assisted Engineering Experience
Daily use of Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent.
Strong discipline for reviewing and validating AI-generated backend code.
Excellent Written and Spoken English
Experience working directly with international clients.
Confident defending architectural choices in writing and in review.
