Tekion
About this role
This is Tekion's most senior individual contributor opening on today's list, and it is squarely a backend architecture job. The posting describes a Staff Backend Engineer building AI native services behind customer intelligence, campaign orchestration and attribution at automotive retail scale, and calls the role the critical technical anchor for the area. The specifics are unusually concrete for a staff posting: defining hexagonal architecture patterns, owning core domain models and service boundaries end to end, Kafka event contracts, REST APIs, and schema design across MongoDB documents, PostgreSQL relational tables and Cosmos DB, with real attention to indexing, TTL, partition keys, consistency levels and multi tenant isolation. If you like the design end of backend work, this posting tells you exactly what you would be deciding.
Who this is for
Required by the posting: 8 or more years of backend engineering experience with a strong track record delivering production grade Java systems.
The day to day: own core domain models and service boundaries end to end, from initial hexagonal design through production operation, Kafka event contracts and iterative enhancement. Build scalable, secure REST APIs and robust Kafka based event driven pipelines that consume and produce events across multiple source systems. Design MongoDB document schemas and PostgreSQL relational schemas for high throughput multi tenant workloads, with attention to indexing strategy, TTL and tenant isolation patterns. Design Cosmos DB data models for high throughput event and state storage, covering partition key strategy, consistency levels and TTL configuration. Act as the technical anchor defining architecture patterns for the area.
What the services do: power customer intelligence, campaign orchestration and attribution for Tekion's automotive retail platform, which serves dealerships, manufacturers and partners.
Location: Chennai. Office days are not stated on this posting.
Who should apply: backend engineers eight or more years in whose main language is Java and who have designed event driven systems, not only consumed them. The multi database requirement is genuine: the posting asks for document, relational and Cosmos DB modelling in the same role, so be ready to talk about partition keys and consistency levels as well as indexing. Tekion has four roles on today's list from 2 to 4 years up to this one, and this is the top of that range.
