Senior Backend Engineer

Seeking an experienced and visionary Senior Backend Engineer to take a lead role in evolving our cutting-edge gamification platform, engineered for high throughput and real-time data handling in the dynamic igaming industry.

As a senior contributor, you will architect robust backend systems capable of processing millions of concurrent events, ensure data integrity at scale, and play a strategic role in shaping the future of our real-time infrastructure.

If you're passionate about low-latency systems, event-driven architecture, and solving complex backend challenges, we want you on our team.

Job Title : Senior Backend Engineer (Full Time / on BizAcuity payroll)

Job Mode : Work from Office

 

Job Location : Hyderabad (Hi-Tech City)

Responsibilities :

- Architect, design, and lead the development of scalable backend solutions using NodeJS and NestJS, with a heavy emphasis on real-time processing, high-concurrency, and bulk data ingestion.

- Champion and implement event-driven and microservice architectures, utilizing technologies like RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Redis Streams for reliable asynchronous communication.

- Own the design and performance tuning of data pipelines that handle large volumes of real-time data, including aggregation, normalization, and storage in systems like MongoDB, Redis, or SQL/OLAP solutions.

- Guide architectural decisions related to service orchestration, message queues, state management, and data consistency across distributed systems.

- Conduct high-level code and system reviews, coach engineers, and lead architectural discussions with a long-term strategic mindset.

- Act as a technical point of contact in conversations with clients and stakeholders, especially around scalability, data throughput, and real-time system health.

- Stay up-to-date on modern backend technologies, architectural patterns, and best practices.

- Bring innovations to the table that improve performance,reliability, and developer experience.

Requirements :

- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including strong mastery of NodeJS and ideally NestJS.

- Proven experience with real-time systems, high-concurrency environments, or low latency backends - ideally processing thousands of events per second.

- Deep knowledge of event-driven architectures, with production use of RabbitMQ, Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar systems.

- Strong background in designing and optimizing microservices and distributed systems.

- Expertise in data handling with MongoDB, Redis, and optionally SQL for analytics or OLAP/BigQuery processing.

- Hands-on experience deploying and scaling services in Containerized environments with Kubernetes.

- Familiarity with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and practices for monitoring distributed systems.

- Strong communication skills and fluency in English.

- Comfortable leading initiatives, mentoring peers, and working closely with clients and business stakeholders.
