Instinctive Studio is a Bangalore-based startup building digital products across education, enterprise tools and AI.

We’re looking for a hands-on Full-Stack Engineer with strong backend and systems architecture experience. You’ll contribute directly to the codebase while coordinating the day-to-day work of three to four junior developers.

This is not an HR or traditional people-management role. You won’t handle salaries, appraisals or performance reviews. Your responsibility is technical delivery: breaking down work, maintaining the task pipeline, reviewing code, unblocking developers and keeping projects moving.

You’ll work closely with a semi-technical founder, so you should be able to explain architecture, risks and trade-offs clearly and concisely.

Compensation: ₹60,000–₹90,000 per month.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Engineering and Architecture

- Design APIs, database schemas, authentication systems and background processes




- Translate product requirements into practical technical architecture
- Diagnose production issues, improve performance and refactor existing modules
- Make sensible architectural decisions without overengineering straightforward problems
- Handle deployments, patches, rollbacks and environment configuration
- Technical Delivery Coordination

Coordinate the work of three to four junior developers
- Break larger features into explicit tasks with dependencies and acceptance criteria
- Maintain and prioritise engineering work in Linear and Notion
- Identify blockers and unclear requirements before they delay delivery
- Review progress and keep the founder informed about risks, decisions and changes in scope
- Ensure work moves properly through development, review, testing and deployment

Code Quality and Engineering Processes
- Review pull requests for correctness, security and maintainability
- Use CodeRabbit as part of the review process while applying your
