Backend Engineer (B2B SaaS - Supply Chain & Analytics)
Location: Remote / Hybrid (India)
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Us:
We are transforming global logistics and operational visibility through our advanced B2B SaaS supply chain analytics platform. Our software ingests millions of data points daily - from warehouse inventories and transport telemetry to supplier metrics - and turns them into real-time operational intelligence. Our engineering culture values deep data modeling, high-concurrency architecture, and clean, modular code. If you want to solve complex data challenges that keep global supply chains moving, you will thrive here.
The Role:
We are seeking a specialized Backend Engineer with a strong background in analytics and data-intensive backend systems. You will design, build, and scale our core backend services and data pipelines, ensuring our platform can process complex supply chain metrics, run heavy analytical queries, and deliver low-latency insights to enterprise clients.
Key Responsibilities:
- Backend Architecture: Design and build scalable RESTful APIs, microservices, and asynchronous task workers using Python (FastAPI/Django) or Node.js.
- Analytics & Data Processing: Architect high-performance data processing pipelines to aggregate, clean, and analyze large-scale supply chain and inventory datasets.
- Database Optimization: Write complex SQL queries, optimize database schemas, and manage indexing strategies in relational (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and analytical datastores.
- System Scalability: Ensure our backend infrastructure handles high-volume telemetry and reporting workloads without performance degradation.
- Quality & Collaboration: Write robust unit/integration tests, participate in rigorous code reviews, and collaborate with product managers and data scientists.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements):
- Experience: 3+ years of backend software development experience, ideally within a B2B SaaS, supply chain, logistics, or data analytics product environment.
- Tech Stack Mastery: Strong command of Python (FastAPI/Django) and/or Node.js, combined with advanced SQL capabilities.
- Analytics Background: Proven experience building backend logic for data-heavy applications, dashboards, reporting engines, or time-series data processing.
- Database & Cloud Competency: Solid hands-on experience with relational databases, caching layers (Redis), and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP).
- Engineering Mindset: Strong system design capabilities, problem-solving skills, and a proactive "ownership" mentality.
What We Offer:
- Competitive Compensation: Industry-leading salary paired with performance bonuses and equity options.
- Domain Impact: Direct ownership over core supply chain analytics modules utilized by enterprise logistics leaders.
- Learning & Growth: Dedicated annual stipend for technical courses, cloud certifications, and engineering conferences.
- Flexibility & Wellness: Remote-first work culture and comprehensive health insurance coverage for you and your family.
Our Hiring Process:
- Initial Screening: 30-minute background and culture alignment chat with our talent team.
- Technical Assessment: Practical backend coding or supply chain data processing challenge.
- Architecture Deep Dive: System design discussion focused on high-scale analytics, database tuning, and past projects.
- Final Chat & Offer: Closing alignment with engineering leadership and welcome aboard!
