Senior Software Development Engineer 2

Role : Senior Software Development Engineer 2

YOE : 4+ years of experience

Location : Bangalore

About the Role:

We're building India's largest fitness platform — powering group workouts, gym sessions, and

habit-building experiences for millions across India. The Member Experience team owns the features that keep members coming back, from live class infrastructure to retention loops like Cult Ninja. Looking for Senior SDE-2 engineers with strong experience in distributed systems, scalable backend architecture, Java/Python services, cloud-native platforms, Kafka/event-driven systems, AI/LLM automation, platform engineering, and large-scale data systems serving millions of users.

What you'll Build:

• Build features that integrate smoothly with internal tools and customer-facing services, while

continuously enhancing product value.

• APIs and microservices powering group workouts, gym sessions, and member retention at scale.

• Perform performance tuning to ensure high reliability and responsiveness of all systems.

• AI-assisted workflows and agent-based tooling that multiply team output.

• Integrations across member data, scheduling, and engagement systems.

What we're looking for:

The Fundamentals

• 4+ years of backend experience at a product-based company

• Proficient in Node.js / TypeScript or Java / Spring Boot — deep ownership of one, working

familiarity with the other is a plus

• Solid REST API design — versioning, idempotency, error contracts, auth

• Comfortable with SQL + one NoSQL store (Redis, MongoDB)

• Can reason about latency, retries, and failure modes — not just happy paths

• Curious about AI tools and how they can meaningfully speed up delivery — understands where

agents add real leverage and where they break

Ownership Mindset:

• Own the complete feature lifecycle—from product and tech design through development,

experimental rollout, and iterations.

• Proactively flags risks, doesn't wait to be asked

• Writes code like someone else will maintain it during a 2 AM incident

What to expect here:

• Features you ship will touch millions of active members across India

• Surround yourself with sharp, opinionated engineers who push each other

• Real ownership — your name goes on the feature, the metrics, and the learnings

• A team that takes code quality seriously without being dogmatic
