Technical Architect AI-Powered Career Services Portal (Subscription SaaS)
PAN India - Remote
Employment Type: Contract
Role summary
Were looking for a hands-on Technical Architect to design and lead the build of a subscription-based career services portal used by about 5000 paying users each month. The product helps users find jobs and apply faster using automation and AI-such as auto-updating resumes per job description keyword analysis drafting recruiter email replies (with user approval controls) creating interview questions with suggested answers and generating a 30/60/90-day plan based on the JD. You will own the overall architecture and ensure the platform is secure scalable reliable and ready for production.
What youll do
- Design the full system architecture across the web app backend services databases background workers email services AI services and external integrations.
- Build the automation foundation that powers the product: job queues and workers workflow orchestration scheduling retries idempotency dead-letter queues and full audit trails.
- Lead the design of AI-driven workflows including:
- Job description parsing match scoring and keyword/skill gap analysis
- Resume tailoring and versioning (v1/v2/v3) with ATS-friendly outputs
- Automated email responder (classify inbound email draft response attach the right resume version user approval or auto-send rules)
- Interview preparation packs (role-based and behavioral questions with suggested answers tied to the users real experience)
- JD-based expected work outputs (30/60/90 plan and deliverables)
- Own security and privacy end-to-end: OWASP best practices encryption secrets management RBAC audit logs and data retention/deletion policies.
- Implement subscription and usage controls: Stripe Billing integration entitlements quotas/AI credits and rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- Set up strong engineering operations: CI/CD pipelines infrastructure-as-code monitoring/logging/tracing alerts runbooks and reliability targets (SLOs).
- Work closely with product and engineering teams review technical designs and pull requests mentor developers and drive delivery from build to production.
Must-have technical skills
Backend & architecture (choose one primary stack)
- (NestJS/Express) or Python (FastAPI) or Java (Spring Boot)
- Strong API design experience (OpenAPI versioning pagination idempotency) access control (RBAC/ABAC) and rate limiting
Data and search
- PostgreSQL (schema design performance tuning migrations)
- Redis (caching distributed locks rate limiting)
- OpenSearch/Elasticsearch for job search and keyword relevance
- Vector search / RAG (pgvector or similar) for semantic JD-to-resume matching (strongly preferred)
Automation & workflow orchestration
- Queues such as SQS RabbitMQ or Kafka
- Workflow orchestration using Temporal AWS Step Functions or an equivalent platform
- Background workers and schedulers for batch applications follow-ups and retries
AI/LLM engineering (production experience)
- Tool/function calling structured outputs (schema validation) and prompt/version management
- Safety controls: hallucination prevention PII redaction/handling and human approval gates
- Cost controls: caching batching quotas/AI credits and fallback strategies
Email systems
- Transactional email providers: Amazon SES SendGrid or Mailgun
- Inbound email parsing and event webhooks (bounces/complaints) plus deliverability setup (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)
Cloud DevOps and security
- Docker CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation)
- Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) or Serverless platforms (Lambda/Cloud Run)
- Observability using OpenTelemetry with metrics/logs/traces (Datadog/New Relic/Prometheus/Grafana)
- Security fundamentals: OWASP Top 10 secrets management (Secrets Manager/Vault) encryption in transit and at rest
Nice-to-have
- Stripe Billing and webhook-driven subscription lifecycle experience
- Secure document handling (S3/Blob storage validation/scanning PDF/DOCX generation)
- Experience building compliant automation systems anti-abuse controls and job/ATS integrations through partner APIs or feeds
Job Type: Contractual / Temporary
Contract length: 12 months
Pay: 500000.00 -.00 per year
