• SaaS platforms
• Real-time systems (MQTT, WebSockets, WebRTC)
• AI agents (voice, chat, automation)
• Data-heavy APIs and integrations
• Production systems used by real customers

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving hard problems end-to-end, not just writing isolated APIs.

Key ResponsibilitiesBackend Development

• Design and build scalable backend services using Node.js / NestJS
• Implement REST APIs, WebSockets, and event-driven systems

• Integrate third-party APIs (payments, messaging, CRM, video, maps, etc.)
• Handle background jobs, queues, cron tasks, and workflows

AI & Automation

• Build and integrate AI-driven features using LLMs (OpenAI / similar)
• Develop AI agents for:
• Voice bots
• Chat assistants
• Workflow automation
• Data extraction & summarization
• Implement prompt engineering, structured outputs, and guardrails
• Connect AI systems with backend logic, databases, and external tools
• Work on real-time AI systems (streaming, partial responses, low latency)

Real-Time & Systems Work (Important)

• Work with MQTT, WebSockets, and event-based architectures
• Build or integrate WebRTC / streaming / signaling systems
• Handle concurrency, retries, failure recovery, and observability
• Optimize performance for high-traffic and low-latency use cases

Dev & Production Ownership

• Write clean, production-ready code
• Debug real production issues (logs, metrics, failures)
• Participate in architecture decisions
• Work closely with frontend, mobile, and product teams
• Own features from design → development → deployment

Required SkillsMust-Have

• Strong experience with Node.js and TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with NestJS (or equivalent backend framework)
• Experience with Prisma ORM
• Good understanding of databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB)
• Experience integrating AI / LLM APIs
• Solid API design principles
• Comfortable working on complex, evolving systems

Good to Have (Big Plus)

• Experience with MQTT, WebSockets, or real-time systems
• Experience with WebRTC / media / streaming
• Experience with Docker & CI/CD
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS / DigitalOcean / Azure)
• Prior work on SaaS platforms
• Exposure to voice bots, chatbots, or automation platforms

What We’re Really Looking For

• Someone who can think in systems, not just functions
• Comfortable with ambiguity and problem-solving
• Willing to go deep instead of cutting corners
• Can debug, reason, and improve existing systems
• Takes ownership instead of waiting for instructions

We prefer problem solvers over resume keywords.What You’ll Work On (Examples)

• AI voice agents connected to real phone systems
• SaaS dashboards with RBAC & workflow engines
• Real-time device communication using MQTT
• Automation pipelines (AI + backend + external tools)
• Data-heavy reporting & analytics systems

Work Culture

• No micromanagement
• High ownership, high trust
• Focus on output and quality, not hours
• Engineering-first mindset
• Real products, real customers

Hiring Process

• Resume shortlisting
• Technical discussion (problem-solving focused)
• Practical evaluation (small task or system discussion)
• Final culture & ownership round
