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.

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.
