The company provides a diverse range of services including online retail, financial services, digital content, and telecommunications through its ecosystem of over 70 businesses. Operating across 30 countries and regions, the group utilizes its Rakuten India division as a major global technology hub for research, development, and innovation.

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated full-stack engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining large-scale, high-traffic applications and distributed systems. You will collaborate with geographically distributed teams across multiple countries, contribute to architecture decisions, and champion engineering best practices. A keen interest in AI-powered tooling and LLMs is a strong plus.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable full-stack applications using Java (Spring Boot) on the backend and ReactJS on the frontend.
  • Build and operate high-traffic, large-scale distributed systems with a focus on reliability, performance, and fault tolerance.
  • Architect and manage containerised microservices on Kubernetes, ensuring smooth CI/CD pipelines and production deployments.
  • Implement and optimise caching strategies using Redis to improve application throughput and latency.
  • Design and manage relational database schemas and queries in MySQL, ensuring data integrity and query performance.
  • Participate in system design discussions, code reviews, and architectural planning sessions to continuously raise the engineering bar.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, QA engineers, and globally distributed engineering teams across time zones.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e. g., Cursor, Claude) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.
  • Build, prototype, or contribute to AI-powered features, internal tools, or proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions using LLM capabilities.
  • Mentor junior engineers; provide technical guidance and constructive feedback.
  • Proactively identify and resolve production incidents, performance bottlenecks, and technical debt.

Requirements:

  • Java and Spring Boot: 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience building production-grade REST APIs and microservices.
  • ReactJS: Solid proficiency in building responsive, component-driven front-end applications.
  • Kubernetes: Production experience deploying, scaling, and managing containerised workloads.
  • Redis: Experience with caching, rate limiting, and session management patterns.
  • MySQL: Strong command of schema design, query optimisation, indexing, and replication.
  • Distributed Systems: Proven track record building and supporting large-scale, high-traffic applications.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to convey complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Global Collaboration: Demonstrated experience working with geographically distributed teams across multiple countries and Eastern time zones.
  • AI Tooling: Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools such as Cursor and Claude in day-to-day development workflows.
  • AI/LLM Applications: Experience building AI-powered applications, solutions, or PoCs that leverage LLM capabilities.

Good to Have:

  • GCP: Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform services such as GCS, GKE, IAM, Cloud Run, BigQuery, Dataproc.
  • GoLang: Experience writing performant backend services or CLI tools in Go.
  • LLMs and Generative AI: Deeper knowledge of LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, or fine-tuning workflows.
  • Observability: Experience with monitoring and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or Cloud Monitoring.
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Familiarity with Pub/Sub or similar messaging systems.
