We're hiring a Tech Lead to own the backend architecture and engineering culture of a fast-growing HR-Tech platform used by 100+ enterprise clients across India.


This isn't a "manage the team and attend standups" role. You'll be hands-on with architecture decisions, own the deployment environment, and work directly with founders who came from Gallup and IIM Ahmedabad.


The stack is Node.js, Docker, Kafka, and cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP).


The role is right for you if:

- You've led backend teams and still enjoy being close to the code

- You've built or significantly improved a CI/CD pipeline in production

- You can explain a technical trade-off to a business stakeholder without making them feel talked down to

- You want ownership, not just a title.


What you'll be doing:

- Designing and maintaining backend systems built for scale, security, and reliability

- Leading and mentoring a team of backend engineers through sprint cycles and beyond

- Owning cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP) and keeping deployments stable and fast

- Improving CI/CD practices and automating what shouldn't require human intervention

- Translating product requirements into technical specs the team can actually execute

- Conducting code reviews that raise quality without slowing people down

- Working directly with founders and business stakeholders — not through layers of management


What we're looking for:

- 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior role

- Strong backend development skills in Node.js (Python or Java is a bonus)

- Hands-on cloud experience — building and managing infrastructure, not just deploying to it

- Comfort with Docker, Kafka, and Linux environments

- Experience running Agile teams — sprint planning, retrospectives, the works

- Clear communication and the ability to make decisions under ambiguity

- B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Science or Information Technology


Location: Mumbai (on-site) Experience: 5–8 years Start: Immediate


If this sounds like the role you've been looking for, apply below or send a message directly. The process is fast and so is the decision.

  • Strong full-stack proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js, plus solid AWS depth
  • A track record of shipping to production and owning systems in operation, and of holding a team to that same standard
  • Strong architectural judgment: you decompose ambiguous problems, weigh tradeoffs, and make decisions others can build on
  • Excellent communication: you keep your team aligned and stakeholders informed, and you surface risk early
  • Comfort leading in a fast-paced, high-ownership early-stage environment 


Why choose us?

  • The teams building advanced hardware and the robots, machines, and devices shaping the future run
  • Direct access to founders; you'll help shape product and engineering direction, not just execute tickets
  • Fast feedback loops: what you build is in front of customers in days, not quarters
  • Profitable at Series A, so you get startup upside without the constant fundraising-survival anxiety
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • Bi-yearly appraisal cycles
  • Upto 20% Bonus based on performance
  • Monthly Swiggy vouchers
  • Flexibility with work hours

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.

Senior Backend Engineer

Node.js, System Design & Production Platforms

📍 Mumbai (On-site) | Full-time | 5+ years


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:

  • Workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow)
  • GraphQL (Apollo, gRPC)
  • Sandboxed execution environments
  • Multi-tenant SaaS experience
  • OpenTelemetry instrumentation
  • Prior agency or consulting experience
