Summary
WayToDev, a dev shop building client products including AI agents, is hiring a backend engineer to build Node.js/TypeScript APIs, wire up integrations (databases, third-party APIs, auth, LLM endpoints), and own services end to end for client projects. Remote role, 0–3 years experience, ₹4–8 LPA.
About WayToDev
WayToDev builds and ships products for clients — websites, apps, and increasingly, production AI agents (support, ops, voice) grounded with real tools and approval gates before actions.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain APIs with Node.js, depending on the project using TypeScript
- Wire up integrations: databases, third-party APIs, auth, and — on some projects — LLM endpoints
- Write clean, typed request/response contracts the frontend team can rely on
- Handle secrets, rate limits, and basic observability
- Debug production issues with real client impact — you'll own a service end to end, not just tickets
You'll fit well if you have
- 0–3 years building backend services in Node.js/TypeScript (or strong equivalent in another backend language, with willingness to learn TS)
- Understanding of REST API design, HTTP status codes, and basic auth patterns
- Comfort with Git and reading other people's code without hand-holding
- Curiosity about serverless/edge computing (Vercel Edge, AWS Lambda — any of these counts)
Nice to have (not required)
- Hands-on with Caching/Rate Limiting/Security or willingness to ramp up learning new technologies fast
- Any exposure to AI/LLM integration (calling an API, prompt handling, basic RAG) — genuinely useful given our AI agent work
- QA/testing habits — writing a test before someone asks you to
Logistics
- Remote, must overlap 10 AM–7 PM IST, Mon–Fri
- Compensation: ₹4–8 LPA, based on experience
