Location: New Delhi, India (with India-based partner) 
Type: Full-time 
Working Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST (North American time) 
Start Date: ASAP, no later than January 2, 2026 

About the Role 

We are looking for a Backend Node.js & AWS Architect based in India to lead the design and implementation of our next-generation backend platforms. This role combines hands-on Node.js development, cloud architecture on AWS, and modern AI-driven tooling (including AI-generated MVPs and GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio / VS Code). 

You’ll work closely with product, frontend, and AI teams to design scalable backend services, structure robust MySQL databases, and ship secure, production-ready features using modern CI/CD pipelines on AWS. 

Key Responsibilities 

Architecture & Backend Development 

• Design, implement, and maintain Node.js-based backend services (REST APIs, microservices, event-driven components). 

• Architect and optimize AWS-based infrastructure (e.g., ECS/EKS/Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, CloudFront, etc.). 

• Design and enforce clean, scalable application architectures (modular code, separation of concerns, domain-driven design where appropriate). 

Database Design & Performance 

• Design and maintain MySQL database schemas, including normalization, indexing, partitioning, and performance tuning. 

• Implement data migration strategies, backup/restore processes, and high-availability setups. 

• Ensure data integrity, security, and compliance across environments. 

CI/CD & DevOps on AWS 

• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / CodePipeline / other tooling) for build, test, and deploy workflows. 

• Implement infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation / CDK / Terraform) for repeatable, reliable environments. 

• Set up monitoring, alerting, and logging (CloudWatch, OpenSearch, etc.) to support observability and operational excellence. 

AI & Developer Productivity 

• Stay current with latest AI capabilities (LLMs, code generation, AI agents, AI-assisted prototyping). 

• Incorporate AI-generated MVPs and components into production-grade enterprise features safely and securely. 

• Use and advocate for GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio / VS Code and similar tools to improve development speed and code quality. 

Collaboration & Leadership 

• Work closely with product managers and tech leads to translate business requirements into technical designs. 

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers (code reviews, design reviews, best practices). 

• Contribute to and enforce coding standards, security guidelines, and documentation. 

Required Qualifications 

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend engineering, with a strong focus on Node.js. 

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS (at least several of: EC2, ECS/EKS/Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM, CloudWatch). 

• Proven experience designing and structuring MySQL databases: 

• Data modeling and schema design 

• Indexing and query optimization 

• Handling large datasets and performance tuning 

• Experience designing and deploying CI/CD pipelines on AWS, using tools such as: 

• AWS CodePipeline / CodeBuild / CodeDeploy, or 

• GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / similar, integrated with AWS. 

• Solid understanding of API design (REST, JSON, versioning, pagination, authentication/authorization, rate limiting). 

• Comfortable working in Visual Studio / VS Code and experienced with GitHub Copilot (or similar AI coding assistants) as part of daily workflow. 

• Familiarity with modern AI/LLM concepts: 

• Using AI tools for code generation and rapid prototyping 

• Understanding limitations and risks (security, correctness, data privacy) 

• Strong grasp of software engineering best practices: testing (unit/integration), code review, documentation, branching strategies. 

• Excellent communication skills in English and ability to collaborate with a North America–time-zone team. 

Nice-to-Have Skills 

• Experience with microservices or event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, SNS, etc.). 

• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Step Functions). 

• Background with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS, EKS, Kubernetes). 

• Exposure to AI integration in products: 

• Calling LLM APIs from backend services. 

• Designing AI-backed features (recommendations, summarization, workflow automation). 

• Knowledge of security best practices on AWS (IAM policies, VPC design, secrets management). 

• Experience in enterprise or B2B SaaS environments. 

Role Details 

• Position: Backend Node.js & AWS Architect 

• Employment Type: Full-time 

• Location: New Delhi, India (working with our India-based partner team) 

• Working Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST (aligned with North American working hours) 

• Start Date: ASAP, ideally on or before January 2, 2026
