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
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.
Nice to Have:

About Byldd:
Byldd is a Startup Studio that helps founders launch and scale software companies. We work closely with founders to refine ideas, identify core pain points, build scalable software products, acquire initial customers, and support growth.
At Byldd, engineers get the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects across industries like fintech, healthcare, AI, operations, and enterprise software. Since we work with multiple startups at different stages, the problems are rarely repetitive — one week you may be building an AI-assisted workflow tool, and the next you may be architecting a scalable SaaS platform.
Our engineering culture is strongly focused on ownership, fast execution, and leveraging modern development workflows — including AI-assisted development using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and other AI tooling to improve speed, quality, and problem-solving.
We primarily work with technologies such as React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and modern cloud infrastructure.
About the role:
We’re looking for experienced Full-Stack Engineers with a strong backend inclination to join us on core business projects.
Your role will involve understanding business requirements, product flows, and mockups. We’ll provide the “what” and the “why” behind the product decisions, and you’ll take ownership of translating them into scalable technical solutions.
While this is a full-stack role, the expectation is backend-heavy ownership — including system design, APIs, database architecture, integrations, scalability, and performance optimization. You’ll collaborate with founders and senior engineers to architect and build products end-to-end.
Since we move fast, we highly value engineers who can independently figure things out, use AI effectively in their workflows, and ship high-quality products with speed.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining strong backend engineering fundamentals with modern AI-assisted development practices.
What You’ll Do
- Build and ship scalable full-stack applications from scratch
- Design and develop robust backend systems, APIs, and database architectures
- Work closely with founders, designers, and product teams
- Architect systems with scalability, maintainability, and performance in mind
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to improve development speed and productivity
- Review, debug, and optimize production systems
- Think through edge cases, reliability, and long-term scalability
Who you are:
- You have 2+ years of non-internship experience as a full-stack developer with strong backend expertise
- You enjoy building products from 0 → 1
- You think beyond tasks and understand business objectives
- You are comfortable taking ownership and contribute towards making technical decisions
- You actively use or are excited to use AI tools in your engineering workflow
- You are strong in problem-solving and figuring things out independently
- You care deeply about writing clean, maintainable, scalable code
- You enjoy working in fast-paced startup environments
- You’re comfortable contributing across the stack while being particularly strong on the backend side
Preferred Tech Stack
(Experience in some or most of the following is preferred)
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- MongoDB
- Express.js
- React / Next.js
- REST APIs
- Cloud deployment & modern dev tooling
Experience with AI-assisted coding tools and workflows is a strong plus.
