SE II - Backend (Node.js+AWS+AI Basic)

Here’s a summary of the role:

You’ll build scalable web applications and serverless microservices using Node.js, React, and AWS, while working with modern AI tools to code smarter and faster. If you enjoy solving real-world problems, writing clean code, and exploring how AI can improve development workflows, this role gives you the space to grow and make an impact.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (the important stuff):

• Build and maintain REST APIs and backend services using Node.js (TypeScript)
• Develop responsive user interfaces using React.js
• Work with AWS services to design and deploy scalable, cloud-native solutions
• Contribute to code reviews, testing, and performance improvements
• Use AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) to accelerate development, debugging, and research
• Collaborate with engineers to improve architecture, reliability, and development practices

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:

• 4–6 years of experience in software development in an agile environment
• Strong hands-on experience with Node.js (TypeScript) and building APIs
• Practical exposure to AWS (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, etc.)
• Good understanding of SQL databases (PostgreSQL or similar)
• Basic understanding of AI concepts and using AI tools for development
• Understanding of LLM concepts (tokens, embeddings, prompt engineering)
• Ability to write clean, maintainable code and collaborate effectively with teams

It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t:

• Solid experience in React.js for frontend development
• Experience with Docker or container-based workflows
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or DevOps practices
• Exposure to infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK)
