Experience:
2–3+ years (hands-on)

Location:
Hinjawadi, Pune

Type:
Full-time

About the role

We're a product company building high-impact software used by real customers at scale. You'll be the technical owner for a small, fast team—making architecture decisions, writing production code, reviewing PRs, and unblocking others. If a problem is stuck, you dive in and resolve it.

What you'll do

  • Own architecture & system design:
    Break down requirements, design scalable services (APIs, background jobs, caching, queues), review trade-offs, and keep things simple.
  • Ship features end-to-end:
    frontend (or NestJS) backend SQL (Postgres/MySQL). Build secure, reliable, well-tested code.
  • Scale data & SQL:
    Model schemas, write optimized queries, add indexes, handle migrations, and debug performance (EXPLAIN, slow query logs).
  • Reliability & security:
    Logging, metrics, alerts; authn/authz; rate-limiting; input validation; basic cloud hardening.
  • Technical leadership:
    Lead stand-ups, estimate work, manage sprint risks, conduct PR reviews, and mentor developers.
  • Unblock the team:
    When others are stuck, pair, debug, or temporarily take over to land the milestone on time.
  • Quality bar:
    Establish coding standards, testing strategy (unit/integration/e2e), CI checks, and release practices.

Must-have skills

  • System design:
    Clear reasoning about data models, caching, consistency, failure modes, and trade-offs.
  • Frontend:
    (App Router), React hooks, forms, API integration, error/empty/loading states, basic accessibility.
  • Backend:
    (Express/NestJS), REST (GraphQL nice-to-have), async jobs, file handling, pagination, auth (sessions/JWT, refresh).
  • SQL:
    Strong at schema design, joins, transactions, indexes, and performance tuning.
  • Problem solving:
    You can take an ambiguous problem, break it down, propose options, and execute.
  • Git & CI:
    Clean commits, code reviews, lint/test pipelines, environment-based configs.
  • Ownership:
    You treat deadlines seriously, communicate early, and do what it takes to land the release.

Nice to have

  • TypeScript, Zod/Valibot, Prisma/TypeORM/Knex
  • Postgres features (JSONB, window functions), Redis, message queues
  • Cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), Docker; basic IaC
  • Security & compliance basics (PII/PHI handling, audit logs)
  • Charts/analytics, file export (CSV/PDF), webhooks, webhook signature verification
  • Observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, Sentry)

Work style & expectations (read before applying)

  • Outcomes over hours:
    This role requires
    high ownership
    and
    flexible hours when needed
    to meet product deadlines. Critical releases may involve late evenings or weekends.
  • Bias to action:
    If something is blocking delivery, you escalate early and/or fix it yourself.
  • Team leadership:
    You set pace and quality, and you're comfortable being the point person when the team needs direction.

What success looks like (first 90 days)

  • 30 days:
    Fully onboarded; shipping small features; owning 1 service/module; improving tests/CI.
  • 60 days:
    Leading a mini-project; removing a major performance bottleneck; stabilizing error budgets.
  • 90 days:
    Trusted architect for a product area; mentoring 1–2 devs; consistently delivering on committed timelines.

Interview process (fast & practical)

  1. Intro call (20–30 min)
    — background, expectations, culture fit
  2. AI-OFF coding lab (60–75 min)
    — debugging + tests + SQL reasoning
  3. System design (45–60 min)
    — design an end-to-end feature with trade-offs
  4. Pair session (45 min)
    — read unfamiliar code, fix a bug, review a PR
  5. Founder/Lead chat (20 min)
    — ownership, communication, and ways of working
