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.

skill iconJavascript

skill iconNodeJS (Node.js)

Job Responsibilities:

  • Understand the problem first-hand. Spend time with the product owner or the ops team that has the problem, and see how the work happens today rather than working from a requirements document alone.
  • Design, build and ship end to end. API and data model through to the screen the user touches. Backend and frontend are both yours.
  • Take it to production and keep it healthy. Deploy it, monitor it, and act on what the monitoring tells you. Errors, latency, failed jobs and data quality are yours to watch — and ideally you spot the issue before someone reports it.
  • Be mindful of what it costs to run. Every service you deploy carries an infrastructure bill. Think about instance sizing, storage, query patterns, log volume and the cost of third-party API calls before you ship, and raise it early when something is likely to get expensive.
  • Integrate cleanly with vendors and partners. A large part of our platform is third-party: bureaus, banks, KYC providers, payment rails, co-lenders. Working well with vendor teams, reading their documentation carefully and handling their failure modes gracefully is core to the job, not a distraction from it.
  • Be accountable for what you commit to. Give estimates you believe in, flag slippage early, and keep the status visible.
  • Leave it documented. A runbook, an API contract, and a short note on any non-obvious decision, so the next engineer — or the next agent — can pick it up without you.
  • Build securely by default. We are a regulated lender. Customer and credit data handling, access control, audit trails and PII discipline are part of the definition of done, not a later hardening pass.

Skills Required:


JavaScript , TypeScript , Node.js , API Design , Relational Data Modelling , SQL , Vendor Integration , Third-party Integration , Authentication , Retries , Idempotency , Webhooks , Rate Limits , Queues , Background Jobs , Scheduled Work , React , Component Design , State Management , CSS , Git , CI/CD , DevOps , Containers , AWS , Monitoring , Cost Awareness , Troubleshooting , Documentation , Security


Candidate Attributes:

  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js.
  • You can design an API, not only implement one.
  • Relational data modelling and SQL you can reason about — indexes, query plans, transactions, migrations on live tables.
  • Vendor and third-party integrations, done well: authentication, retries, idempotency, webhooks, rate limits, sandbox-to-production rollout, and reconciliation when the other side fails mid-flow.
  • Comfort working directly with a vendor's technical team to get an integration over the line.
  • Queues, background jobs and scheduled work, including what happens when a job runs twice.
  • React with TypeScript.
  • Component design, state management, forms that hold up under real user behaviour.
  • Enough CSS and layout sense to build a clean screen without a pixel-perfect design handed to you.
  • Performance and correctness on the browser side: loading states, error states, the ugly edge cases.
  • Tests you actually write. Shipping agent-assisted code at volume only works if the test coverage holds it up.
  • Git discipline, CI/CD, and enough DevOps grounding to be self-sufficient: containers, environment configuration, pipelines, deployments and rollbacks.
  • You do not need to be an SRE, but you should not need one for routine work.
  • AWS fundamentals: how your service runs, scales and fails.
  • Instrumenting what you build — logs, metrics, alerts — so problems surface on a dashboard rather than in a customer complaint.
  • Reading monitoring output and acting on it: triaging an alert, finding the root cause, and closing the loop with a fix or a tuned threshold rather than muting it.
  • An eye on infrastructure cost. Knowing roughly what your service costs to run, spotting the query, log stream or API call pattern that is quietly expensive, and factoring that into design decisions.

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.
