About Zoft.ai

AI workflow automation platform

next-generation backend for AI-driven automation

  • We’re looking for a

    Senior Backend Engineer

    who can think like a

    founder or CTO

    — someone who loves crafting scalable architectures, optimizing performance, and building systems that thousands of businesses can rely on.


Your Role

  • Architect & develop

    high-performance backend services using

    Node.js (TypeScript, Fastify, Express)

    .
  • Build

    multi-app integrations

  • Design

    scalable APIs and event-driven microservices

    to power AI workflows and automation logic.
  • Work closely with

    AI, product, and DevOps teams

    to integrate model inference, vector search, and real-time data processing.
  • Lead

    system design discussions

    , evaluate trade-offs, and implement robust architecture patterns (CQRS, Pub/Sub, Clean Architecture).
  • Optimize backend performance with

    asynchronous patterns

    , caching, and queueing systems.
  • Drive

    technical ownership

    across services — from design to deployment.
  • Participate in

    code reviews, mentoring, and open-source collaboration

    .
  • Ensure

    security, reliability, and scalability

    of backend systems in production.


Requirements

    ,

    TypeScript

    Fastify

    or

    Express

    .
  • Strong fundamentals in

    data structures, algorithms, and system design

    .
  • Proven experience in

    multi-app / third-party integrations

    (e.g., Slack, Shopify, HubSpot, Twilio, Stripe, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of

    asynchronous programming

    ,

    event-driven design

    , and

    distributed systems

    .
  • Experience with

    PostgreSQL / MongoDB

    ,

    Redis

    , and message queues (

    BullMQ / Kafka / RabbitMQ

    ).
  • Solid understanding of

    authentication, authorization

    , and

    API security

    standards (OAuth2, JWT, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with

    Docker

    ,

    CI/CD pipelines

    , and

    cloud environments

    (AWS/GCP).
  • Excellent debugging and

    performance optimization

    skills.
  • Open-source contribution

    or active GitHub presence is a major plus.

  • Bonus Skills

    • Experience with

      workflow automation engines

      (like n8n, Temporal, or Airflow).
    • Understanding of

      AI integration layers

      (OpenAI, LangChain, vector DBs, RAG systems).
    • Background in

      building APIs for multi-tenant SaaS

      platforms.
    • Familiarity with

      serverless systems

      ,

      WebSockets

      , and

      real-time streaming APIs

      .
    • Startup or

      founder/CTO experience

      (preferred).

  • Why Join Us

    • Build core infrastructure for

      AI and automation at scale

      .

      founder-led team

      passionate about product, performance, and impact.
    • Competitive compensation with

      potential equity

      for early engineers.
