Most sales tools help you send emails. We’re building something different.


At Salesforge, we’re creating autonomous AI agents that can:


Find the right prospects

Generate highly personalized outreach

Run conversations

And book meetings


All without human involvement.


Why this is interesting


A lot of AI products stop at “generate text.” We’re focused on outcomes.


That means solving problems like:


How do you generate messages that actually get replies?

How do you evaluate and improve agent performance over time?

How do you orchestrate millions of AI-driven interactions reliably?

How do you combine structured data + LLMs in a way that scales?


If you enjoy working at the intersection of systems + AI + real-world feedback loops, this will feel like a playground.


What you’ll be working on


You won’t be maintaining legacy systems.


You’ll be:


Designing and building core backend systems that power our AI agents

Creating APIs and services that handle high-scale, real-time workflows

Working with queues (Kafka / SQS / RabbitMQ) to orchestrate async systems

Thinking deeply about performance, cost, and reliability in AI pipelines

Shipping features end-to-end with a small, senior team


The team


We’re a small group of experienced builders. We move quickly, care about quality, and avoid unnecessary process.


No layers of management.

No long planning cycles.

Lots of ownership and autonomy.


What we’re looking for


5+ years of backend engineering experience

Strong system design fundamentals

Experience with distributed systems and async processing

Familiarity with relational and/or document databases

Clear communicator, low ego, high ownership


Why join


You’ll work on a product where the output is measurable (meetings booked, revenue generated)

You’ll have real ownership from day one

You’ll be early in building a new category (AI sales agents)

You’ll grow as fast as we do

About Medflix - empowering healthcare professionals for better care

Medflix (www.medflix.app/app) is a platform where healthcare professionals (doctors, medical students and more) stay updated through live talks, Q&As, support material and more. Through the platform we believe that these professionals can be empowered to deliver better care to patients (like our families) throughout the globe.

In its current (and evolving) form, it is a live learning and engagement platform seeing tremendous week-on-week growth through stellar speakers and a very active early community. The product is in the growth stages and you will be playing a key role in steering the tech to create a scalable and lovable product experience.

We are backed by startup, VC and PE veterans including Kunal Shah (CEO, Cred), Raghunandan G (Zolve, ex-TFS), Avnish Mehra (Everstone) and more.

Medflix is a platform by PlexusMD (www.plexusmd.com/app), a network trusted and loved (4.4 stars on Playstore and 4.4 on Appstore) by more than 3 lakh doctors in India and working closely with leading healthcare providers and companies like AIIMS, Jaslok, Hinduja, Apollo, HCG, Elsevier, Association of Physicians of India, Indian Association of Cardio-thoracic surgeons, Society of Nuclear Medicine, Govt of Gujarat (HFW Dept), Govt of Haryana (SIFHW), McKinsey and company, Takeda, Mankind and others.


About the Role

Tech stack (expertise in all is not required, experience in some will be sufficient):

  • React / Next.js (required, at least 1 year of experience)
  • Express.js (required, at least 1 year of experience)
  • Familiarity with cloud services (gcp / azure / aws)
  • PostgreSQL (or expertise in any relational database)
  • Redis
  • Docker/Kubernetes deployment (good to have)

For this role we are looking for engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset, an understanding of how startups operate and who like to get their hands dirty when unknown things come their way. You will work closely with the product team to prioritise and ship features with a predictable cadence.

As this role is full-stack, you need to have a good understanding of frontend design and be obsessed with responsiveness and pixel-perfect behaviour. On the backend side, an OCD for efficiency and optimisation is a required personality trait.

Demonstrated history of solving hard problems (frontend/backend or both) is a great-to- have.


Benefits and growth

While we ensure competitive compensation (plus ESOP options for deserving candidates), at Medflix, you will also have a strong say in how final solutions look. You will get the opportunity to learn to steer an accelerating rocket ship.

College credentials, background or years of experience are no bar for growth inside the company for enthusiasts who believe in our mission and demonstrate that passion to create a product that healthcare workers love.

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
