TRENDLANCE INNOVATIONS PRIVATE LIMITED

About Trendlance Innovations

Trendlance Innovations Pvt. Ltd. is a Hyderabad-based technology company building scalable digital products with real-world impact. Alongside delivering high-quality software engineering solutions, we build and own our flagship product, Fameo—a verified social platform designed for creators, professionals, and public figures to build trusted digital identities and meaningful communities.

We're building a small, ambitious engineering team where ownership, craftsmanship, continuous learning, and long-term thinking are part of our culture. If you enjoy solving challenging engineering problems and building products from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer (Backend Focus) to help build and scale the backend systems that power Fameo.

This is a backend-first role with full-stack responsibilities. You'll own APIs, data models, integrations, payment workflows, and backend architecture while contributing to our web platform whenever needed. You'll work closely with our Flutter developer, product team, QA, and founders to design, build, and ship production-ready features.

This is an opportunity to become one of the early engineers shaping both the product and the engineering culture.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services, APIs, and databases.
• Build and own secure payment and escrow-based transaction systems.
• Design transactional workflows with strong data consistency and concurrency handling.
• Integrate third-party services such as payment gateways, authentication, KYC/e-sign, and notifications.
• Design optimized database schemas, migrations, indexes, and queries.
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, and role-based access control.
• Build APIs consumed by our Flutter mobile application and contribute to our web platform when required.
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Review code and maintain high standards for performance, scalability, security, and documentation.
• Support deployments, monitoring, debugging, and production issue resolution.
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to continuously improve the platform.

What We're Looking For

• 6–8 years of experience building and shipping production backend systems.
• Strong experience designing and developing REST APIs using modern backend technologies.
• Full-stack capability with the ability to contribute to frontend development when required.
• Experience building payment systems, financial transaction workflows, or escrow platforms.
• Strong understanding of relational database design, transactions, indexing, and performance optimization.
• Experience integrating third-party APIs and payment gateways.
• Solid understanding of authentication, authorization, API security, validation, and rate limiting.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization, and scalable architectures.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, automated testing, and modern development workflows.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar while maintaining strong engineering judgment and code quality.
• Strong communication, ownership mindset, and problem-solving skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience building backend systems for Flutter applications.
• Experience with Redis, caching, queues, and background jobs.
• Experience working in an early-stage startup or product company.
• Familiarity with microservices and distributed systems.

Why Join Trendlance?

• Build a live product used by real users.
• Work directly with the founders and influence technical decisions.
• Take ownership of meaningful engineering challenges from day one.
• Help shape the architecture, engineering culture, and future direction of the product.
• Be part of a small, collaborative team where your work has visible impact.
• Competitive compensation with meaningful long-term growth opportunities.
