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 reliable 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).
