Role: Full Stack Engineer
Location: Hyderabad/Mumbai/Bangalore/Gurgaon
Required Experience: 4-7 years
Role Summary:
We are looking for Software Engineers with deep experience in building highly scalable and reliable enterprise applications. We are looking for engineers who have experience building cloud based/cloud native solutions from scratch. This includes demonstrable expertise in an enterprise friendly backend framework. We expect the engineer to work in a team consisting of Project Managers, Designers, Data Scientists and Software Architects. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast paced and innovative environment along with a group of world class and entrepreneurial professionals.
Responsibilities:
• Design and develop user-friendly web interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Utilize modern frontend frameworks and libraries such as React, Angular, or Vue.js to build dynamic and responsive web applications.
• Develop and maintain server-side logic using programming languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, Node.js, or PHP.
• Build and manage APIs for seamless communication between the frontend and backend systems.
• Integrate third-party services and APIs to enhance application functionality.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, integration, and deployment processes.
• Monitor and optimize the performance of web applications to ensure a high-quality user experience.
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve development processes and application performance.
Qualifications:
• Bachelors/Masters in Computer Science or related subjects or hands-on experience demonstrating working understanding of software applications.
• Knowledge of building applications that can be deployed in a cloud environment or are cloud native applications.
• Strong expertise in building backend applications using Java/C#/Python with demonstrable experience in using frameworks such as Spring/Vertx/.Net/FastAPI.
• Deep understanding of enterprise design patterns, API development and integration and Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• Working knowledge in building applications that leverage databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Neo4J or storage technologies such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage.
• Hands-on experience in building enterprise applications adhering to their needs of security and reliability.
• Hands-on experience building applications using one of the major cloud providers, preferably GCP.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD tools for application integration and deployment.
• Working knowledge of using reliability tools to monitor the performance of the application.
Job Responsibilities:
- Design an API, not only implement one.
- Reason about indexes, query plans, transactions, migrations on live tables.
- Handle vendor and third-party integrations, done well: authentication, retries, idempotency, webhooks, rate limits, sandbox-to-production rollout, and reconciliation when the other side fails mid-flow.
- Work directly with a vendor's technical team to get an integration over the line.
- Manage Queues, background jobs and scheduled work, including what happens when a job runs twice.
- Perform React with TypeScript.
- Execute Component design, state management, forms that hold up under real user behaviour.
- Build a clean screen without a pixel-perfect design handed to you using enough CSS and layout sense.
- Ensure Performance and correctness on the browser side: loading states, error states, the ugly edge cases.
- Write Tests you actually write.
- Maintain Git discipline, CI/CD, and enough DevOps grounding to be self-sufficient: containers, environment configuration, pipelines, deployments and rollbacks.
- Understand AWS fundamentals: how your service runs, scales and fails.
- Instrument what you build logs, metrics, alerts so problems surface on a dashboard rather than in a customer complaint.
- Read monitoring output and act on it: triaging an alert, finding the root cause, and closing the loop with a fix or a tuned threshold rather than muting it.
- Keep an eye on infrastructure cost.
- Know roughly what your service costs to run, spotting the query, log stream or API call pattern that is quietly expensive, and factoring that into design decisions.
- Understand the problem first-hand.
- Spend time with the product owner or the ops team that has the problem, and see how the work happens today rather than working from a requirements document alone.
- Design, build and ship end to end.
- Take it to production and keep it healthy.
- Deploy it, monitor it, and act on what the monitoring tells you.
- Watch for Errors, latency, failed jobs and data quality and ideally spot the issue before someone reports it.
- Be mindful of what it costs to run.
- Think about instance sizing, storage, query patterns, log volume and the cost of third-party API calls before you ship, and raise it early when something is likely to get expensive.
- Integrate cleanly with vendors and partners.
- Work well with vendor teams, reading their documentation carefully and handling their failure modes gracefully.
- Be accountable for what you commit to.
- Give estimates you believe in, flag slippage early, and keep the status visible.
- Leave it documented.
- Build securely by default.
