Backend Developer

Backend Developer — Node.js / TypeScript

Goa (Onsite) | 4+ Years Experience

The Work

Most backend roles ask you to build dashboards and CRUD APIs. This one is different.

You will be working on a mission-critical Workforce Management Platform deployed in

high-security, access-controlled environments, where the software directly governs who

enters, who is tracked, and who is accountable at any given moment. The system

integrates with physical infrastructure: biometric devices, RFID systems, IP cameras,

RTSP streams, face recognition engines, and access control hardware. When it works, it

is invisible. When it doesn't, operations stop.

This is a live, production platform used in demanding operational environments. You

will be enhancing and scaling it, not greenfielding, which means your decisions carry

real consequences for real deployments.

You will work directly with a founding team member. No layers, no ticket queues. Fast

decisions, high ownership.

What You Will Own

• Backend services and business logic in Node.js and TypeScript
• REST API design, enhancement, and reliability at scale
• Integrations with hardware and real-world device ecosystems — RFID, biometrics, IP cameras, RTSP streams, face recognition, and access control systems
• Database architecture and query performance on MySQL
• Containerised deployment and environment management via Docker
• Diagnosing and resolving integration and production issues — you are the last line of defence
• Occasional frontend contributions where the backend-frontend boundary

demands it

What We Are Looking For

Must-have

• 4+ years of backend or backend-heavy full stack development
• Production-grade Node.js and TypeScript, not tutorials, actual shipped systems
• REST API design experience at scale
• Strong MySQL — schema design, query optimisation, not just ORM usage
• Docker and containerised environments
• A genuine instinct for debugging — you find things others miss

Strong advantage

• Prior work with hardware integrations — RFID, biometrics, CCTV/IP cameras, RTSP, IoT, or access control systems
• Experience building software for Workforce Management, Industrial, Surveillance, or Security domains
• Comfort working in high-accountability environments where uptime is non-negotiable

Who Thrives Here

You are not looking for a role where requirements are handed to you fully formed. You

want to understand the system end to end, take ownership of hard problems, and see

your work running in production environments where it genuinely matters. You are

comfortable with ambiguity, rigorous under pressure, and faster than average at figuring

things out.

Why Cidroy

Cidroy builds software for environments where failure is not an option — defence-adjacent, industrial, and high-security deployments across India. You will be working on systems that interact with the physical world, not just the browser. The founding team is technical, the feedback loop is short, and the problems are real.
