Lead - Backend Developer (Node JS)

🚀 Join Our Core Founding Team – Lead Backend Developer (Node.JS)

📍 Gurugram, On-site | Full-time

Are you someone who lives and breathes Backend innovation and craves the excitement of building something from scratch? If you’re ready to join a startup-level team, shape the future, and work at the intersection of Node.js development + AI — we want you.

What you’ll do

• Architect, build and own the core backend services using Node.js (and TypeScript if applicable) that power user-facing features, data flows, microservices, integrations.
• Design REST and/or GraphQL APIs, message-based systems, real-time endpoints, background jobs — everything that sits behind the scenes but drives the product.
• Choose and define the tech stack, modular architecture, component libraries, team coding standards, testing strategy (unit/integration/end-to-end).
• Collaborate deeply with frontend (Angular) teams and UX/UI designers to ensure backend and UI are in perfect sync.
• Lead, mentor and grow a lean backend team: code reviews, architectural discussions, promoting best practices, driving innovation.
• Build for performance, fault-tolerance, scalability and observability — you’ll own deployment patterns, monitoring, logging, error-handling, and production robustness.
• Work with data teams, DevOps/infrastructure, product & design to implement AI/data-driven features, pipelines, third-party integrations, cloud services.
• Continuously evaluate new technologies, frameworks and patterns: you’re curious, proactive, always pushing the bar.
• Document architecture, decisions, APIs, system flows. Ensure maintainability, clarity and developer velocity for the future.

We’re excited about you if you:

• Strong senior background (3+ years or more) of building backend systems in Node.js (with JavaScript/TypeScript) and related web technologies
• Hands-on with cloud platforms (Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and ops mindset..
• Have made web apps fast, smooth, scalable — you don’t settle.
• Understand backend integration, REST APIs, Git workflows.
• Are collaborative, proactive, a mentor at heart, and ready to lead.
• Earned a Bachelor’s in CS/Engineering (especially from top-tier college) — and you’re proud of it.
• Bonus: experience in AEC industry, or working on AI/ML adjacent frontend projects.
• Bonus: startup mindset — you thrive in ambiguity, iterate fast, and love building.

Why join us?

• You’ll be an early member of the core founding team, not just a hire.
• Work on cutting-edge innovation where AI isn’t just a buzz-word — it’s embedded in our roadmap.
• High ownership, visible impact, and a culture that rewards excellence, experimentation & growth.
• Competitive compensation + equity early in the game — your upside matters.
• A culture of fast iteration, big ideas and the chance to build something meaningful.
