Hyderabad, India Habit Full time

Who we want

You’ll be the technical heartbeat of Habit. Owning architecture, engineering culture, and delivery. You’ll partner with Product, Ops, and Leadership as the single technical point-of-contact, setting the bar for speed and quality while scaling a 10-minute food delivery platform.

We’re looking for someone with strong CS fundamentals, proven ownership of systems end-to-end, and the ability to translate ambitious product goals into pragmatic, scalable technical roadmaps.

Your playground

- End-to-end technical ownership of Habit: architecture, infra, security, and engineering standards.
- Translate product goals into robust systems. Prioritise trade-offs, own delivery.
- Build the core backend platforms, and guide frontend (mobile/web) and data-science projects.
- Set up observability, CI/CD, and incident practices from day one.
- Mentor engineers while still writing code and setting the culture for reviews, design, and discipline.

Key responsibilities

- Define overall architecture and system design (APIs, data layer, auth, caching, jobs, analytics).
- Own the tech roadmap and balance feature delivery with technical debt.
- Set delivery discipline: reviews, testing, release processes, deployment safety.
- Build secure, scalable cloud infra (networking, secrets management, backups, DR).
- Implement monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and incident playbooks.
- Act as the escalation point for technical decisions and incidents.
- Hire, mentor, and grow a high-ownership engineering team.

Must-have skills

- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, system design, concurrency, distributed systems.
- 7+ years building and scaling backend systems in production. Proven ownership of architecture and delivery.
- Expertise in one or more backend languages (Java preferred, Python/Kotlin ok). Ability to read across stacks.
- Strong relational DB experience: schema design, indexing, tuning, transactions.
- Cloud chops: GCP preferred, AWS/Azure/OCI fine. Containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Experience with CI/CD, infra-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and safe deployment patterns.
- Practical experience in observability: Prometheus, Grafana, tracing, incident management.
- Some exposure to data pipelines and ML integration points.
- Excellent communication: can interface smoothly with Product, Ops, and Leadership.
- Experience hiring, mentoring, and building small engineering teams.

Why Habit?

At Habit, speed isn’t just about food. It’s how we build.

You’ll get end-to-end ownership, a clean slate to set the tech culture, and the chance to solve problems that impact thousands of hungry customers every day.

Think it. Build it. Ship it in 10.
