Job Description

About the role

n

We're looking for a backend engineer who can take real ownership of features and modules end-to-end - from schema design to API implementation to production support. You'll work in a codebase built around multi-tenancy, scoped authorization, and AI-driven workflows, and contribute to architectural decisions within the direction set by our senior engineers.

n

The work is technically substantial. You'll spend time on genuinely hard problems: multi-tenant data isolation, permission systems that go beyond simple role checks, integrations with government systems that Indian institutes are required to use, and backend services that support AI-powered features.

n

What you'll do

n

n
- Build backend services in Node.js and NestJS against a PostgreSQL data layer
n
- Design and implement APIs that serve multiple tenants with logically isolated data
n
- Work on authorization systems - scoped role assignments, permission caching, audit logging
n
- Integrate with external systems including payment gateways, identity providers, communication

n
- Build async workflows using message queues and background workers
n
- Contribute to backend services that orchestrate AI features (working with LLMs via provider APIs)
n
- Write tests, review code, participate in architecture discussions
n
- Support production systems used by real customers - read logs, debug incidents, own the fixes
n

n

Required experience

n

n
- 3-5 years of professional Node.js development, with production NestJS experience
n
- Solid PostgreSQL: schema design, query optimization, indexing, transactions
n
- Solid understanding of authorization patterns beyond simple role checks (scoped permissions,

Who thrives in this role

n

n
- Engineers who want architectural depth without waiting years to earn it
n
- People who take ownership seriously - you're responsible for what you ship, including how it behaves in production
n
- Engineers who care about code that other people have to read, not just code that works
n
- Anyone who wants to work on AI-integrated backends before it becomes standard everywhere.
