Backend Developer

Requirements:

• 4-7 years building production software at product companies or high-growth startups.
• Strong production experience in JavaScript/TypeScript (React, React Native, Node.js ) or Python/Go.
• Hands-on experience with e-commerce or quick-commerce platforms (checkout, catalogue, inventory, logistics) or LLM-backed products used by real customers.
• Ownership of a production service: you designed it, ran it, and were on the hook when it broke.
• A solid grounding in async processing, message queues, retries, data consistency, and SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Daily use of AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot, with a real view on where they help and where they don't.
• Clear communication, including explaining technical trade-offs to non-engineers.
• A Tier-1 CS degree (IIT, BITS, NIT, or similar) or a strong track record at venture-backed startups.

Good to have:

• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, formally or informally.
• Go-to-production experience, or Kubernetes on AWS, Azure, or GCP at scale.
• Retrieval systems, evals, or agent orchestration in production.
• Large-volume data pipelines, or a fintech, regtech, or document-processing background.
• Open-source work or technical write-ups.
