About the role

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.

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.

What you'll do

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

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

3-5 years of professional Node.js development, with production Nest JS experience Robust Postgre SQL: schema design, query optimization, indexing, transactions Solid understanding of authorization patterns beyond simple role checks (scoped permissions, hierarchical roles, or equivalent complexity)





Experience with async workflows - message queues, background jobs, event-driven patterns (Bull MQ, Rabbit MQ, Kafka, or Pub/Sub) Redis for caching, sessions, and rate limiting Writing and maintaining test suites (unit and integration) Production experience: comfortable reading logs, debugging live issues, owning what you ship Git-based collaborative workflow, code review discipline, clear PR descriptions Strong written English - you'll write design notes, PR descriptions, and technical documentation Strongly preferred (any two of these)

- Multi-tenant Saa S experience - you should have opinions on schema-per-tenant vs database-per-

tenant trade-offs

Shipped features integrating with LLMs in production (Open AI, Anthropic, Gemini, or equivalent) Worked in a regulated domain (ed-tech, fintech, healthcare) where compliance affects data modeling • Comfortable with modular monolith architecture and microservices

Nice to have pgvector or another vector database Docker and containerized deployments Cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure acceptable) CI/CD pipelines Prior exposure to Indian regulatory frameworks (DPDP, UGC compliance, Digi Locker integrations) Experience generating API type definitions from Open API specs, or publishing internal npm packages for cross-repo type sharing Who thrives in this role

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