About the Role

We're looking for a backend developer who thinks critically about system design, clean code, and long-term scalability. You'll be part of a lean, fast-moving team, responsible for building and maintaining the APIs and backend services that power our platform.

This is a high-ownership role ideal for someone who thrives in a quick-paced startup environment and takes end-to-end responsibility for the systems they build.

What You'll Do

- Develop and maintain highly scalable backend systems and APIs
- Work with MongoDB and other data stores (NoSQL/SQL)
- Design, deploy, and operate services on cloud infrastructure
- Optimize performance and reliability at scale
- Contribute to code reviews and system architecture decisions




- Collaborate with the tech team in short feedback loops to ship, learn, and iterate quickly.

What We're Looking For

- Experience: 3+ years of backend development experience
- Languages: Proficiency in Python (preferably Django or Flask)
- Databases: Strong hands-on experience with MongoDB or similar databases
- Cloud: Experience building and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)
- Architecture: Solid understanding of API design and backend architecture principles
- Code Quality: Obsession with clean, maintainable code and modular design
- Mindset: A “tech purist” approach you enjoy building things the right way, not just the fastest way
- Bonus: Exposure to early-stage startups, open-source contributions, or serious side projects
- Education: Bachelor's degree in CS/Engineering or equivalent self-taught experience

Critical Aspects

- No Vibe Coding: You can write, read, and reason through code independently. AI tools are an accelerant, not a crutch
- System Design Thinking: You think in terms of systems, trade-offs, and scale, not just individual features

Work Location: Bengaluru, HSR Layout (Work From Office).
