SDE II - Fullstack

We at Khatabook are looking for a Full-stack SDE II. You will design, build, and operate production-grade services and user-facing features that directly move metrics for millions of merchants. You will pair robust engineering fundamentals with modern AI-first workflows to ship high-quality code at speed.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Take features from an online problem statement through high-level design, coding, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
• Full-Stack Delivery: While you will spend ~80% of your time on backend microservices, you should be comfortable jumping into TypeScript/React when the product demands it.
• AI-Accelerated Development: Leverage tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and codegen LLMs to amplify productivity, enforce best practices, and reduce toil.
• Production Stewardship: Debug, triage, and resolve live issues with a fix-forward attitude; participate in incident reviews.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with PMs, designers, and senior engineers; communicate tradeoffs, unblock peers, and mentor interns or new grads.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience building and operating scalable REST services in Java/Spring or Node.js/TypeScript (or similar).
• Willingness to adopt new technologies quickly, especially AI-powered developer tools, and apply them pragmatically.
• Bias for execution: You proactively break down problems, ship incremental value quickly, measure impact, and iterate quickly.
• Solid understanding of fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, and databases.
• Working familiarity with frontend frameworks (React / Next.js).
• Good written and verbal communication.
• Fintech experience is mandatory, with a strong preference for candidates with a background in payments.
