- 3-6 years building production backend systems, with at least 2 years on services that handle high RPS and tight latency budgets.
- Strong Go expertise(or comparable systems language with willingness to ramp on Go fast).
- Solid distributed systems fundamentals: consistency vs. availability, idempotency, retries, backoff, dead-letter queues, leader election, eventual consistency.
- Hands-on production experience with Kafka (or a similar log-based broker), PostgreSQL, REST running on containers and Kubernetes on at least one major cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure).
- Observability literacy - Prometheus / Grafana / OpenTelemetry / structured logging - and the habit of instrumenting before shipping.
A mission-driven not‑for‑profit building an open network that enables seamless digital commerce across buyers, sellers, and service providers, removing platform silos across multiple sectors in India.
