Architect for SaaS Product

Key responsibilities :-

Design and own the canonical data architecture — the entity relationship model, API contract conventions, security model, and multi-tenant isolation approach that every module is built on top of.

Review and approve the Technical Architecture & Product Specification documents already produced by Telovas. Identify gaps, improvement opportunities, and implementation risks before a single line of production code is written.

Establish the development environment: GitHub repository structure, branching conventions, CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions + Render/Vercel), linting, testing framework, environment variable management, and code review standards.

Make all foundational technology decisions: framework choices, database schema design, authentication approach, API versioning strategy, third-party service selections

Own the security architecture: DPDP compliance design, encryption key management, JWT/refresh token strategy, role-based access control implementation, audit log immutability design.

Exp in designing and shipping at least one SaaS product from scratch — not contributed to a SaaS product, but designed its architecture.

Deep PostgreSQL expertise: can design a schema from a business requirements description
Hands-on with Node.js backend and React frontend at the framework level

Deployed production applications on AWS (specifically EC2, RDS, S3, and at least one of ECS, Lambda, or Fargate). Understands AWS cost optimization at startup scale.

Has built or reviewed REST APIs at production quality: versioning, error handling, rate limiting, authentication, and documentation.

Security-first mindset: knows OWASP Top 10, can discuss JWT security tradeoffs, has implemented field-level encryption in a production system.
