About the job

Job description

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 (4+ 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.

Ready to make a leap?

Send us your resume, let’s build something remarkable together.
