About Amenify
Amenify is a US-based proptech company building the leading AI-powered resident commerce platform. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, we've raised $25M and currently power services across 15M+ homes in the US.
We are building an AI-first engineering organization where small, elite teams ship fast, solve hard problems, and operate with extreme ownership.
This Role Is Not for Everyone
This role is designed for the top 1% of engineers.
- If you need detailed specs → not a fit
- If you avoid ambiguity → not a fit
- If you don't actively use AI tools to code faster → not a fit
- If you prefer maintaining over building → not a fit
This is for engineers who:
- Build fast
- Think independently
- Use AI to multiply output
- Take full ownership of systems
Role Overview
We're hiring a high-output Staff / Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack based in Amenify's Gurugram office who can design, build, and scale systems end-to-end with minimal oversight.
You will be expected to:
- Deliver weeks of work in days using AI tools
- Own critical systems without hand-holding
- Push code to production frequently
- Solve complex problems independently
What You'll Actually Do
- Architect and build scalable Django-based backend systems
- Own features from idea → production → scale
- Use tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or internal AI workflows to accelerate development
- Write, refactor, and ship large volumes of high-quality code quickly
- Design robust APIs, data models, async systems (Celery/queues)
- Identify bottlenecks and fix them without being asked
- Debug production issues under pressure with high reliability
- Continuously improve engineering speed via automation
- Raise the bar for the team through execution, not meetings
Hard Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
- 7+ years of backend engineering experience
- Expert-level Django (ORM, DRF, performance, scaling)
- Strong Python fundamentals
- Proven experience building and scaling real production systems
- Hands-on with PostgreSQL and system design at scale
- Experience with GCP (or similar cloud platforms)
- Strong debugging skills in live production environments
AI-First Engineering (Mandatory)
You must:
- Actively use AI coding tools daily
- Be able to generate, review, and ship AI-assisted code safely
- Build automation workflows using AI
- Think in terms of leverage: 1 engineer = 5 engineers
If you're not already doing this, you will struggle in this role.
What We Value
- Speed over perfection (with good judgment)
- Ownership over delegation
- Output over activity
- Clarity over complexity
- Builders over talkers
What Success Looks Like (First 60–90 Days)
- Shipping production code in week 1–2
- Taking ownership of a core system quickly
- Identifying and fixing major bottlenecks independently
- Increasing team velocity via AI-driven workflows
- Delivering measurable impact, not just code
Tech Stack
- Backend: Python, Django, Django REST Framework
- Infra: GCP
- Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
- Async: Celery / queues
- DevOps: Docker, Github CI/CD
Why This Role
- Work directly with founders
- High ownership, zero bureaucracy
- Build at high speed with real impact
- Competitive compensation (India market + performance upside)
- Be part of a small, elite engineering team
Final Note (Read Carefully)
We are intentionally hiring fewer, stronger engineers.
If you are:
- Exceptionally strong in Python / Django
- Already using AI to code faster
- Comfortable operating without structure
- Driven by building and shipping
→ You'll thrive here.
If not, this role will feel uncomfortable.
