Full -Stack Engineer (Backend Heavy) | Tech Lead

About Acowale

We’re building Acodash — the world’s first AI -powered Smart Operating System for Business.

Why This Role is Different

• AI -first product (yes, backed by Microsoft)
  
• Real scale (MOU with the World's Largest Merchants Organization)
  
• Real ownership (no “wait for approval” culture)
  
• Real impact (you’ll shape the system, not just tickets)
  

If you’ve ever wanted to build something from scratch that actually matters — this is it.

Requirements

The Role

You’re not here to “write APIs.”
You’re here to own the system.

You’ll architect, build, and lead the core engine that powers complex business workflows at scale — while mentoring the team and setting engineering standards.

What You’ll Actually Do

 Architect & Build

• Design backend systems that don’t break under pressure
  
• Create scalable, extensible architectures (HLD + LLD done right)
  
• Build APIs so clean they deserve documentation (and yes, you’ll write it)
  

Backend Excellence

• Own TypeScript + Node.js backend systems end -to -end
  
• Make PostgreSQL perform like a beast under heavy load
  
• Design systems with future scale in mind, not just today’s needs
  

Full -Stack Contribution

• Jump into React + TypeScript when needed
  
• Ensure seamless backend ↔ frontend integration
  
• Ship features end -to -end without hand -holding
  

Lead the Team

• Mentor engineers without becoming a “manager -only” person
  
• Set code quality standards (clean, tested, scalable)
  
• Conduct code reviews that actually improve people
  

DevOps & Ownership

• Work with Docker, GitHub Actions
  
• Debug production issues on Linux like a pro
  
• Take ownership of performance, reliability, and deployment
  

Your Playground (Tech Stack)

What We’re Looking For

• You think in systems, not just functions
  
• You’ve built things that didn’t collapse in production.
  
• You care about clean code, performance, and scalability
  
• You can debug Linux without panicking
  
• You enjoy mentoring (not just tolerate it)
  
• You can balance speed + quality without excuses
  

Bonus Points If

• You’ve explored Bun runtime
  
• You’ve built data -heavy / high -scale systems
  
• You actually enjoy CI/CD pipelines
  
• You’ve worked in fast -moving startup environments
  

Benefits

What You Get

• Real Ownership
  
  No fake “ownership” with 10 layers of approval
  
• Build From Scratch
  
  Shape the architecture of a product used by millions
  
• Leadership Growth
  
  Move into full technical leadership, not just coding
  
• High -Performance Team
  
  People who care about quality, not noise
  
• Startup Speed (Without Chaos)
  
  Fast decisions, clear direction
  
  
  

Final Note (Read This)

If you want:

• A chill 9–5
  
• Clearly defined boundaries
  
• Work that never breaks
  

This is not your place.

If you want:

• To build something meaningful
  
• To solve hard problems
  
• To own systems end -to -end
  
• To work with a team that actually ships
  

Then we should talk.
