**About the Role**

We are looking for a **Backend Node.js & AWS Architect** based in India to lead the design and implementation of our next-generation backend platforms. This role combines **hands-on Node.js development**, **cloud architecture on AWS**, and **modern AI-driven tooling** (including AI-generated MVPs and GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio / VS Code).

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.).

**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.

**Role Details**
- **Position**: Backend Node.js & AWS Architect
- **Employment Type**: Full-time
- **Location**: New Delhi, India (working with our India-based partner team)
- **Working Hours**: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST (aligned with North American working hours)
- **Start Date**: ASAP, ideally **on or before January 2, 2026**
