Job Description
Hiring: Founding Engineering Lead - Backend & DevOps
Bangalore - CBD (In-office) Full-time
About Tvaram
Tvaram is a Bangalore-based tech startup building a multi-brand SaaS ecosystem for the next generation of Martech - Email Infrastructure, Marketing Automation, AdTech, and Data Intelligence.
We're a small, execution-focused team. Every system you design will ship, scale, and matter.
The Role
We're looking for a lead engineer to own the backend and DevOps function end-to-end - from system architecture to production infrastructure. You'll work directly with the founder, set the technical direction for the platform, and grow into the lead for the backend team.
This is a founding-team role. Not a "senior IC" position. We want someone who thinks like an architect, ships like an engineer, and takes production personally.
What You'll Own
Core platform architecture - shared services, APIs, and data pipelines across multiple products
Distributed systems - queues, workers, event-driven workflows (BullMQ, Kafka, Redis)
High-throughput communication infrastructure - email delivery, routing, and validation systems
AWS infra, CI/CD, Docker/K8s deployments, monitoring, and observability
System design standards and architectural decisions that scale with the team
Stack
Node.js (TypeScript) NestJS MongoDB Postgres RabbitMQ BullMQ Kafka Redis AWS Docker Kubernetes Baremetal
Who We're Looking For
2-3 years of strong backend engineering experience
Good pedigree - strong company, product, or academic background
Has built complex systems from scratch, not just features on existing platforms
Thinks in systems and tradeoffs - can walk a whiteboard and defend every decision
Owns infra, not just code - deploys, monitors, and takes production seriously
Bonus: experience with email infrastructure (SMTP, DKIM, DMARC), martech, or data platforms
Why This Role
You'll architect and lead - not just contribute. Direct founder collaboration, high ownership, and the opportunity to build a multi-product platform from the ground up.
