Nightshift Senior BE - iDirect

Senior Backend Engineer (Cloud Platform + Integrations + Subscription Systems)

As one of the founding engineers building Unbound Central, you will own the core backend architecture

powering our next-generation, API-first satellite network platform. You will build and scale the systems

behind multi-tenant subscription management, offer configuration, billing, fulfillment, device provisioning,

and AIOps integrations.

This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role that will shape the technical foundation of the product for years

to come.

Responsibilities

Backend Architecture & Development

• Design and implement a headless, API-first backend for Unbound Central.

• Build multi-tenant services handling:

o Service catalog & offer configuration

o Pricing, discounting, and approval logic

o Quoting and order orchestration

o Subscription lifecycle engine (renewals, upsells, downgrades, cancellations)

o Billing & invoicing integration

o Provisioning, activation, and asset-tracking workflows

• Develop secure, scalable data models supporting customer, subscription, asset, and fulfillment

domains.

Integrations

• Integrate with:

o CRM & billing platforms

o SATCOM networks and modem APIs

o Deployment, logistics, and asset management systems

o AIOps engines for alerting and monitoring

• Design robust integration patterns (webhooks, events, async workers, ETL pipelines).

Platform Engineering

• Implement identity, roles/permissions, and access control models.

• Build event-driven workflows for notifications, subscription changes, and fulfillment updates.

• Own CI/CD pipelines, IaC, environment management, and deployment automation.

Reliability, Security & Observability

• Build highly reliable services with 99.9%+ uptime goals.

• Implement observability: logs, distributed tracing, metrics.

• Apply strong security practices (encryption, secrets, tenant isolation).

Collaboration

• Define API contracts and service boundaries with the full-stack engineer.

• Work closely with product leadership to translate the PRD into scalable backend systems.

• Establish coding standards, architectural guidelines, and development best practices.

Required Experience

• 7+ years backend development experience in a cloud-native environment.

• Strong proficiency with Python (Node.js, Go, or similar are okay) - Python is still the top preference

• Deep experience with AWS/Azure/GCP services (serverless, containers, databases, queues).

• Strong knowledge of multi-tenant system design and distributed systems.

• Experience designing APIs that support complex UI workflows.

• Expertise in relational or document databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, MongoDB).

• Demonstrated ability to integrate with third-party systems at scale.

• Experience owning mission-critical systems end-to-end.

• Subscription management systems (Zuora, Stripe Billing, Chargebee)

• CPQ engines or complex pricing systems

• Event-driven architectures (Kafka, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, Pub/Sub)

• Telecom / network management systems

• Knowledge of DevSecOps best practices.
