We are looking for a Backend Engineer who thinks beyond tickets and features. You will design, build, and scale production-grade systems powering a multi-vertical super app. You will contribute to architectural decisions and leverage modern engineering tools - including AI-assisted development - to deliver high-quality software at speed.

As a Backend Engineer you will :

- Build reusable code and libraries for future use

- Design and build scalable backend services using Node.js

- Architect clean, maintainable, and modular codebases

- Design RESTful APIs and ensure performance and security best practices

- Implement caching, performance optimization, and scalability patterns

- Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliability

- Participate in system design discussions and technical decision-making

- Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements

- Ensure observability through proper logging and monitoring practices

- Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineering teams

- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to increase productivity while maintaining code quality

- Take ownership of features from concept to production

- Troubleshoot and debug issues in existing applications

- Stay up-to-date with emerging trends in full-stack development

What We're Looking For

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field

- 4+ years of experience in Backend/Fullstack Development

- Strong backend experience with Node.js

- Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs

- Experience with databases such as Postgres or similar

- Familiarity with caching mechanisms (e.g., Redis)

- Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

- Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, etc.)

- Strong understanding of clean code principles and maintainable architecture

- Experience writing unit and integration tests

- Familiarity with secure coding practices (authentication, authorization, OWASP basics)

- Understanding of system design fundamentals (scalability, performance, fault tolerance)

- Experience working in Agile environments

- Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate development

- Ability to critically evaluate and validate AI-generated code

- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills independent of AI tools

- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment

- Product-oriented thinking - understands business impact of technical decisions

- Strong problem-solving ability
