About the role

We're looking for a backend developer to join our early engineering team and drive our product development. If you're someone who thrives on high ownership, can figure stuff out on your own and wants to be part of the zero-to-one journey, this might be for you.

What you'll do

Tl;dr, we're at 100k requests per day, you'll take us to 10M requests per day.

As we're still early at building a dedicated backend team, responsibilities will have breadth over a lot of cool stuff

Looking out for cool new technologies and implementing them for required internal as well as business use cases.

Designing scalable architectures for backend systems.

Optimising performance of applications for full scale production deployments.

Implementing business logic and developing APIs and services.

Conceptualising and implementing scalable databases across various services.

You'll be hiring and mentoring junior developers.

What makes you a good fit

If you can write code that works, we should be good but read on (disclaimer: most of what follows is not a hard requirement);

You have 1-3 years of experience building and scaling backend systems from scratch;

You've built server-less backend architectures using AWS platforms and resources like Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, etc. (Brownie points if you've worked with NodeJS, Redis and PostgreSQL);

You have managed deployment at scale using CI/CD integrations and implemented error management systems like Sentry;

Most of the above is us trying to sound legit about our stack, so if you've not worked with some of it & are open to learning or have better ideas, it's totally cool;
