Type: Full time

Industry: Information Technology & Services, Transportation, Computer Software

About Company

The company is India's largest bike-taxi aggregator and urban mobility platform. It operates across 100+ cities with over 40 million users and 5 million registered Captains.

Services span bike taxis, auto-rickshaw aggregation, cab hailing, parcel delivery, and last-mile logistics. The platform runs 100% on open-source infrastructure and processes 100K+ requests per second at the edge.

Backed by ~$1.2B in funding, it is growing at ~50% YoY. Engineers here own infrastructure decisions at real scale — 150+ microservices and 100s of TBs of self-hosted data.

Position Overview

This role owns the full infrastructure lifecycle — from non-prod to production — across a distributed system handling 100K+ RPS and 20K+ events per second on self-managed Kafka. The engineer will codify infrastructure, drive 99.99% uptime, and build internal tooling that enables 150+ microservice teams to deploy independently. Scope is split equally between platform reliability (resiliency, availability, observability) and developer productivity (CI/CD pipelines, self-serve deployment tooling).

Role & Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end infrastructure across non-prod and production environments, including self-managed databases (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka)
- Codify and version-control all infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible (or Chef/Puppet), ensuring reproducibility and auditability
- Design and maintain Kubernetes-based container orchestration at scale, supporting 150+ microservices across Go, Java, and Node stacks




- Build internal developer tooling and CI/CD pipelines that enable product teams to deploy services independently, with hundreds of continuous deployments to production daily
- Drive observability initiatives — metrics, logging, tracing — across the full stack to proactively detect and resolve reliability issues
- Architect for resiliency, security, and availability to maintain 99.99%+ uptime across edge gateways handling 100K+ RPS
- Evangelize DevOps principles across engineering teams, breaking down silos between infrastructure, platform, and product functions

Must Have Criteria

- 4–7 years of experience in a DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering role
- Production-grade expertise with Kubernetes for container orchestration at scale
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Ansible (or Chef/Puppet)
- Proficiency in scripting for automation using any scripting language
- Working knowledge of Go, Python, or Java for tooling and infrastructure automation
- Operational experience with self-managed databases: MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and/or Kafka
- B.Tech./B.E. in Computer Science or equivalent engineering degree/experience

Nice to Have

- Experience operating event-driven architectures at 10K+ events/second on self-managed Kafka
- Exposure to 100% open-source infrastructure stacks at a high-growth startup or scale-up
- Familiarity with edge gateway management at 100K+ RPS
- Prior experience supporting continuous deployment pipelines across 100+ microservices

What We Offer

- Direct ownership of infrastructure powering India's largest bike-taxi platform — 100K+ RPS, 100s of TBs of data, 150+ microservices
- 100% open-source stack with deep technical autonomy and no black-box vendor lock-in
- High-growth environment (~50% YoY) with clear paths to Staff/Principal engineering tracks
- Bengaluru base with a transparent, engineering-first work culture
