About The Role

We are seeking a skilled Backend Developer to join our engineering team. Unlike traditional siloed development roles, this position is designed for an engineer who values end-to-end ownership. You will not only write code but also ensure its performance, reliability, and stability in a live production environment.

You will drive performance optimization across our AWS-hosted Node.js, GraphQL, and MongoDB stack. This is a hands-on development role where support means engineering solutions to complex production challenges and preventing them from recurring. You will act as a critical bridge between product and engineering, gaining deep system mastery through direct involvement in quality assurance and release cycles.

Work Schedule

Mandatory Overlap: You must be available to collaborate with the US team between 11:00 PM IST and 3:00 AM IST.

Purpose: This overlap ensures seamless handoffs, collaborative debugging, and direct interaction with US-based product and engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

Core Development & Performance Engineering

Design & Optimize: Write and fine-tune complex MongoDB aggregation pipelines for high-volume analytics, dashboards, and large dataset operations.

Backend Architecture: Maintain and enhance Node.js and GraphQL services, ensuring scalable schemas and efficient resolvers.

System Reliability: Take ownership of production uptime by diagnosing and resolving backend issues within the AWS ecosystem (Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, CloudFront).

Production Ownership & Quality Assurance

Release Integrity: Collaborate with QA teams during pre-release testing to gain a holistic understanding of new features, ensuring you know the code inside and out before it hits production.

Root Cause Analysis: Go beyond patching bugs. Analyze logs and metrics (CloudWatch, ELB) to identify architectural bottlenecks and implement long-term reliability improvements.

Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotations to maintain service availability, acting as the engineering authority during incident response.

Technical Requirements

Core Stack:

MongoDB: Deep expertise in aggregation frameworks and query optimization is essential.

Node.js: Proficiency with Express or Apollo Server.

GraphQL: Strong grasp of schema design and resolver implementation.

Infrastructure & Tooling:

AWS: Hands-on experience with Beanstalk, EC2, S3, and ELB.

Observability: Familiarity with logging tools (CloudWatch, New Relic, or Datadog) to trace data flow and performance issues.

DevOps: Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and deployment troubleshooting is highly preferred.

Soft Skills & Mindset

Ownership: You view code in production as your responsibility. You are focused on long-term stability rather than quick fixes.

Communication: You can clearly articulate technical complexities to distributed teams across different time zones.

Adaptability: You thrive in a startup environment and are eager to learn the product inside-out through direct exposure to QA and triage processes.

Engagement Type: Fulltime

Direct-hire on the Delightree Payroll

Job Type: Permanent

Location: Remote

Working time: 11 PM to 3 AM IST ( Rest hours anytime during day time)
