Job DescriptionArchitecting the Future of Logistics: We're Hiring an SDE 4
nHow do you design a system that seamlessly powers ~20 million orders per month? You think from first principles, leverage AI as a force multiplier, and build for economic sustainability at scale.
nAt Porter, we are building the operating system for intra-city logistics in India. With 500K+ daily-active drivers and an expected 1.5x growth next year, we solve highly complex, real-world operational challenges at a massive scale. To fuel this hyper-growth, we are looking for a visionary SDE 4 to own core domains and define our technical trajectory.
nThe Blueprint of the Role
nAs an SDE 4, you won't just write code; you will hold the architectural keys to a platform spanning multiple services. You are a high-autonomy technical leader who can navigate ambiguity and influence across teams without direct authority.
nThe Core Mission: Raise our engineering bar through rigorous design reviews, exemplary mentorship, and high-ROI architectural decisions that perfectly balance speed, reliability,



and cost-per-transaction awareness.
nWhat Your Quarters Will Look Like

- n
- Architect & Own: Lead multi-service systems handling millions of transactions, explicitly reasoning about contracts, failure modes, and cross-service observability.n
- Drive Design & ROI: Execute high- and low-level designs, making critical build/buy/defer choices framed by contribution-margin.n
- Elevate Operations: Own engineering operations (SLIs/SLAs, MTTR/MTTA) and build automated remediation systems (throttles, auto-retries) to prevent repeat incidents.n
- Write Exemplary Code: Ship clean, maintainable, production-grade code using SOLID principles, ensuring interfaces withstand 2–3x system growth.n
- Be a Force Multiplier: Introduce cutting-edge AI workflows that lift the entire team's velocity, and provide behavior-based mentorship to senior and junior engineers.n
