About The Role

We are seeking an experienced Support Engineer to handle backend debugging, production triage, and performance optimization across our AWS-hosted Node.js, GraphQL, and MongoDB stack.

This role is backend-heavy and critical to maintaining uptime, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Support Engineers will also contribute a portion of their working hours to Quality Assurance (QA). At our startup’s high pace, maintaining consistent knowledge transfer across releases can be difficult. Hands-on QA participation helps Support Engineers better understand the product, stay aligned with release changes, and act as an implicit knowledge bridge between product, engineering, and support.

You will collaborate closely with engineering, QA, and product teams across US and India time zones to ensure smooth operations and quick resolution of production issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose, debug, and resolve backend issues in Node.js and GraphQL services hosted on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, and CloudFront
• Write, optimize, and analyze MongoDB aggregation pipelines for analytics, dashboards, and large dataset operations
• Collaborate with QA teams during pre-release testing to gain hands-on understanding of new features and regression areas
• Participate in QA test cycles to validate bug fixes, API behavior, and production readiness
• Review logs and metrics (AWS CloudWatch, ELB, Beanstalk) to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks
• Work with distributed teams across time zones to ensure smooth handoffs and continuous support coverage
• Contribute to postmortems, documentation, and long-term reliability improvements
• Participate in on-call rotations and maintain strong communication during incident response
  
  
  

Technical Skills

Core Expertise:

• Deep hands-on experience with MongoDB aggregation frameworks and query optimization
• Proficiency in Node.js (Express / Apollo Server) and GraphQL schema or resolver design
  
  
  

Infrastructure Knowledge:

• Experience with AWS Beanstalk, EC2, CloudFront, S3, and ELB
• Familiarity with logging and observability tools such as CloudWatch, New Relic, or Datadog
• Additional Skills:
• REST and GraphQL API debugging
• Understanding of frontend-backend data flow (React familiarity is a plus)
• Experience with GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment troubleshooting
  
  
  

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and debugging mindset
• Clear communicator across distributed teams
• Ownership-oriented with a focus on stability and long-term solutions
• Comfortable working in US primary hours with defined India-time overlap for collaboration
• Adaptable to startup environments and eager to learn through direct product exposure and QA involvement
  
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in SaaS or multi-tenant systems
• Exposure to microservices or event-driven architecture
