Across our apps, we've crossed 250M+ downloads, with multiple Eloelo apps in India's Top 10 and 100M+ Indians consuming short-form vertical content every single day.\nIf you want to own architecture decisions, ship systems that get stress-tested by millions of users immediately, and directly shape what Bharat watches and learns next - this is the place to build it.\nWhat You'll Actually Do\nOwn outcomes, not just tickets. Get close to real user behavior and turn every release into a measurable improvement in experience.\nDrive the architecture, not just the implementation. Take end-to-end ownership of delivery and solution architecture for your feature area - design systems that are scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant by default.\nThink in HLDs and LLDs. Translate ambiguous, complex backend problems into clean, well-reasoned designs - and then build them.\nObsess over API performance. Push for best-in-class response times and reliability across every feature you touch.\nMentor junior engineers and raise the bar on code quality through reviews and design discussions.\nWhat You Bring\n3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and deploying large-scale applications.\nStrong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and OOPs, with solid command of concurrency and multi-threading.\nProficiency in Java, with GoLang or Python as a strong plus.\nComfort modeling data across both relational and NoSQL databases.\nThe ability to design and ship low-latency RESTful services that hold up under real traffic.\nWorking knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) and distributed queue systems like Kafka.\nA habit of refactoring and improving systems continuously - not letting technical debt pile up.\nGenuine curiosity and a hunger for hard problems.\nExtra Brownie Points\nYou've ridden the wave of rapid company growth - startup to mid-size - and know what breaks (and what to fix) along the way.\nYou've helped decompose a monolith into microservices.\nYou've worked with Firebase or WebSockets in production.\nIf building fast, scaling faster, and shaping how millions of Indians consume content and learn sounds like your kind of problem - let's talk.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2602,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T17:31:18Z"}],"liveness":{"score":39,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.514,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:36","stale_co","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/eloelo-software-development-engineer-2-sde-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/eloelo-software-development-engineer-2-sde-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T23:53:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1338,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3662,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
