About the Role

Backend Node.js & AWS Architect

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.
