Job Title: Associate consultant -Forward Deployed Engineers with Go, Next.js 16, React 19 and PostgreSQL
Position: Associate Consultant
Experience: 10-18 Years
Category: Software development / Engineering
Shift: General Shift
Main location: Bangalore / Hyderabad/ Chennai/ Mumbai
Position ID: J0726-0048
Employment Type: Full Time

Position Description:
We are seeking a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer with 10+ years of experience in software engineering to design, build, and deploy scalable cloud-native solutions for enterprise platforms. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Go, PostgreSQL, TypeScript/React (Next.js), REST APIs, and cloud technologies, with hands-on experience in containerization, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code. You will work end-to-end—from architecture and AI-enabled development to deployment—building secure, high-performance platforms, agentic workflows, and customer-facing integrations. This role requires strong ownership, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to deliver production-ready solutions while collaborating closely with engineering teams and stakeholders.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

Responsibilities
• Design and implement features end-to-end across Go microservices, Next.js portlets, PostgreSQL schema, and
OLAP data projections — with full ownership from design through to a deployed and tested service
• Extend the OLAP read model via CDC-driven data projections, write consuming queries in reporting and search
services, and follow safe multi-step schema-change deployment practices
• Build and maintain platform integration surfaces — the REST API gateway and OpenAPI specs — designed for
any consumer: portal, custom UI, or AI agent
• Design and implement agentic workflows within the platform; identify where autonomous agents can handle
repeatable financial operations and build the secure, auditable API surfaces that enable them
• Use AI coding tools fluently and responsibly — accelerate delivery with AI-assisted code generation, test
scaffolding, and documentation, while critically reviewing all output before commit; apply heightened scrutiny to
auth flows, financial calculations, and regulated data handling
• Own deployment infrastructure: build automation, Docker/Podman Compose, Terraform modules, and CI/CD
pipelines
• Drive quality through a comprehensive test suite: unit, database integration, API, end-to-end browser, and load
tests — all passing before a feature ships
• Perform code reviews, enforce architectural guardrails, mentor team members, and keep platform documentation
current

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

Education Qualification: Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field or higher with minimum 10+ years of relevant experience.

• Languages -Go 1.26+, TypeScript 6, SQL
• Frontend -Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui
• Backend -Go microservices, REST API gateway
• Database -PostgreSQL 18 (OLTP + OLAP, CDC)
• Auth -JWT, Keycloak OIDC
• Build / CI- Task runner, Turbo, pnpm, Terraform
• Testing- Go test, Bruno, Playwright, k6, Trivy
• AI Tooling -Claude Code, MCP server, LLM tool-use APIs
• Containers -Podman / Docker

Must to have :
• 10+ years of software engineering experience with a strong platform or backend focus
• Proficiency in Go — microservice structure, HTTP middleware, repository patterns, PostgreSQL integration, and
distributed systems debugging
• PostgreSQL — schema design, migrations, logical replication concepts, and query optimisation

Internal
• TypeScript / React / Next.js — able to build and ship portlets and shared packages in a monorepo
independently
• REST API design — versioning, pagination, OpenAPI/Swagger, and API-first thinking for any consumer type
• Practical daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) as a core part of
how you write, test, and review code
• Experience with containerisation and CI/CD (Podman or Docker, Compose, pipeline automation)
• Test-driven mindset across unit, integration, end-to-end, and load testing
• Experience with deploying applications to cloud in AWS / GCP or Azure

Good to have :

• CDC / event streaming — logical replication, WAL consumers, projection table design
• AI agent tooling / MCP — building or consuming Model Context Protocol servers; designing auditable agentic
workflows in regulated or financial contexts
• LLM tool-use patterns — structured outputs, function calling, agent orchestration frameworks
• Multi-tenant SaaS — tenant isolation, regional data residency, schema-per-service patterns
• Micro-frontend architectures — iframes, cross-frame messaging, signed embed URLs
• OIDC / Keycloak, Terraform
• Wealth management domain knowledge (portfolios, custodians, securities)
