Backend Developer

Backend Developer (AI-Accelerated Engineering + DXP + Enterprise Systems)Experience: 3–5+ years (Senior candidates also welcome)Qualification: B.Tech in Computer Science or equivalentShifts: Flexible for global time zones (US/EU/APAC)About the RoleWe are seeking a high-caliber Backend Developer with strong experience in modern distributed systems, DXP (Digital Experience Platform) backend architecture, API-driven development, and AI-powered engineering workflows.You will build the backend foundation for our DXP, enterprise-grade products, and next-gen AI-born systems.This is not a typical backend role — we want someone who understands product architecture, microservices, cloud-native design, database systems, event-driven architectures, and AI-assisted engineering.You will work in tight collaboration with front-end engineers, designers, architects, and leadership to deliver world-class digital products.Key ResponsibilitiesBackend Architecture & API Development- Design and develop scalable backend systems using:- Node.js / Express / NestJS- Python / FastAPI / Django- Go (Golang) is a strong bonus.- Build robust REST and GraphQL APIs for high-performance front-end integration.- Architect and implement microservices, event-driven workflows, and modular backend components.DXP & Platform Engineering- Build backend engines for headless DXP including:- Content modeling- Multi-tenant architecture- Personalization layers- Workflow automation- Template management- Contribute to creating our OWN DXP backend and API ecosystem, not just using external CMS tools.- Manage backend for:- User management & auth- Role-based access- Multi-site delivery- Localization- Caching & CDN integrationAI-Accelerated Backend Development- Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT/Claude Code) for:- Rapid API development- Data modeling- Boilerplate generation- Automated documentation- Code optimization- Test-case generation- Integrate backend systems with AI/LLM models, embeddings, vector databases, and agent frameworks.Database & Data ArchitectureHands-on with modern, scalable databases:SQL Databases- PostgreSQL- MySQL- Cloud-native DBs (AWS Aurora, AlloyDB, Azure SQL)NoSQL Databases- MongoDB- DynamoDB- CouchbaseDistributed / High-Performance Datastores- Redis- ElasticSearchVector Databases (for AI products)- Pinecone- Weaviate- Milvus- ChromaAutonomous Database Design- Automated schema evolution- AI-assisted query optimization- Self-healing DB patterns- Auto-indexing and monitoring with AI toolsResponsibilities- Build optimized database schemas (SQL + NoSQL).- Implement scalable data models for DXP + Enterprise Systems.- Ensure ACID integrity and performance at scale.- Handle data caching, sharding, partitioning, replication.- Enable analytics pipelines and event logs.Cloud & DevOps Collaboration- Deploy and maintain backend systems using:- AWS- GCP- Azure- Work with containers and orchestration:- Docker- Kubernetes- Implement CI/CD workflows:- GitHub Actions- GitLab CI- Jenkins- Handle API gateway, load balancers, reverse proxies, NGINX.Security & Compliance- Implement secure APIs- OAuth2 / JWT / SSO- Data encryption in transit & at rest- Secure secrets management- Compliance with GDPR/PII where requiredProduct Architecture & Lifecycle Understanding- Participate actively in Product Life Cycle (PLC) from:- Ideation → POC → MVP → Production → Scale → Maintenance- Contribute to system design, API specifications, feature decomposition.- Understand business logic deeply and translate into backend architecture.- Collaborate with front-end engineers to deliver cohesive end-to-end products.Required SkillsCore Skills- Strong hands-on coding in Node.js, Python, Go, or Java.- Strong grounding in data structures & algorithms.- Deep experience with SQL, NoSQL, and distributed systems.- Experience building large-scale enterprise applications.- Experience working closely with frontend engineers to deliver full-stack capabilities.DXP & Headless Systems- Experience with:- Contentstack, Strapi, Sanity, Ghost, Directus, etc.- Building custom APIs for headless systems- Multi-tenant application logicAI Tools- Familiarity with:- LLM APIs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini)- Vector search- Embeddings- RAG pipelines- Server-side AI agentsSoft Skills- Excellent communication (English — global client interaction).- High ownership, accountability, and product thinking.- Ability to explain backend architecture to non-technical stakeholders.- Strong collaboration with frontend and product teams.Preferred- Experience building SaaS or DXP platforms.- Experience with ML pipelines, auto-tagging, personalization engines.- Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS).- API performance tuning & scaling.Why Join Us?- Build the backend for future-ready DXP, enterprise systems, and AI-born products.- Work with world-class frontend and design teams.- Use the latest tech + AI to accelerate engineering.- Opportunity to influence product architecture deeply.- Growth-oriented, innovation-driven engineering culture.
