About Nexa Consultancy
Nexa Consultancy Inc is a Surrey, British Columbia (Canada) based company that helps other businesses set up everything they need to run and grow: dashboards, CRM, automation, reporting and marketing. We run our own operations on GoHighLevel, n8n and Make.com and build the same systems for our clients. Because this is ongoing work for our clients, we are looking for long-term people who will grow with us, not short-term contractors. We are hiring a full-time, remote Automation Developer in India to own this stack end to end.
What you will do
- Build, maintain and document automations in n8n and Make.com (lead intake, follow-up sequences, appointment booking, WhatsApp and email notifications, reporting).
- Own our GoHighLevel setup: pipelines, workflows, custom fields, calendars, forms, funnels and integrations.
- Connect tools through REST APIs and webhooks (GoHighLevel, Google Sheets, Gmail, WhatsApp, Meta lead forms, Cloudflare Workers, AI APIs).
- Write small scripts and serverless functions (JavaScript or Python) where a no-code step is not enough.
- Monitor scenarios, fix failures fast, and keep an eye on run quotas and costs.
- Build dashboards and reports so the team can see leads, follow-ups and conversions without asking.
- Turn a plain-English request from the Director into a working, tested automation.
What we are looking for
- 2 to 5 years of hands-on automation or integration work, with real n8n and Make.com scenarios you can show.
- Solid GoHighLevel experience (workflows, pipelines, snapshots, API). Other CRMs are a plus.
- Comfortable with REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, OAuth and debugging failed runs.
- Working JavaScript or Python for custom code steps; SQL or Google Sheets formulas are a plus.
- Clear written English. You will document what you build and explain it to non-technical teammates.
- Self-directed. This is a remote role with a small team; you will own outcomes, not just tickets.
Nice to have
- Cloudflare Workers, Zapier, Airtable, Notion, WhatsApp Business API, Meta or Google Ads integrations, OpenAI or Claude APIs.
Work setup
- Full-time, remote, from India.
- Long-term role. We want someone who stays, learns our clients' businesses and grows with the team.
- Must overlap with Canadian Pacific Time business hours for part of each day; exact schedule agreed at offer.
- Your own laptop, reliable high-speed internet and a smartphone are required.
Compensation
- INR 1,00,000 to 1,50,000 per month, which is INR 12,00,000 to 18,00,000 per year, based on experience. We are hiring for 4 positions.
How we hire
- Short screening call, then a practical exercise (build a small n8n or Make.com scenario), then a final interview with the Director.
Required Skills: CI/CD Pipeline, Data Structures, Microservices, Determining overall architectural principles, frameworks and standards, Cloud expertise (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Distributed Systems
Criteria:

Description
What This Role Is All About
We’re looking for a Backend Tech Lead who’s equally obsessed with architecture decisions and clean code, someone who can zoom out to design systems and zoom in to fix that one weird memory leak. You’ll lead a small but sharp team, drive the backend roadmap, and make sure our systems stay fast, lean, and battle-tested.
What You’ll Own
● Architect backend systems that handle India-scale traffic without breaking a sweat.
● Build and evolve microservices, APIs, and internal platforms that our entire app depends on.
● Guide, mentor, and uplevel a team of backend engineers—be the go-to technical brain.
● Partner with Product, Data, and Infra to ship features that are reliable and delightful.
● Set high engineering standards—clean architecture, performance, automation, and testing.
● Lead discussions on system design, performance tuning, and infra choices.
● Keep an eye on production like a hawk: metrics, monitoring, logs, uptime.
● Identify gaps proactively and push for improvements instead of waiting for fires.
What Makes You a Great Fit
● 6+ years of backend experience; 1–2 years leading engineers or owning major systems.
● Strong in one core language (Node.js / Go / Java / Python) — pick your sword.
● Deep understanding of distributed systems, caching, high-availability, and microservices.
● Hands-on with AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
● You think data structures and system design are not interviews — they’re daily tools.
● You write code that future-you won’t hate.
● Strong communication and a let’s figure this out attitude.
Bonus Points If You Have
● Built or scaled consumer apps with millions of DAUs.
● Experimented with event-driven architecture, streaming systems, or real-time pipelines.
● Love startups and don’t mind wearing multiple hats.
● Experience on logging/monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, OpenTelemetry.
Why company Might Be Your Best Move
● Work on products used by real people every single day.
● Ownership from day one—your decisions will shape our core architecture.
● No unnecessary hierarchy; direct access to founders and senior leadership.
● A team that cares about quality, speed, and impact in equal measure.
● Build for Bharat — complex constraints, huge scale, real impact.
