Role- Sr Senior Engineer 

Location -Hyderabad 

Shift -Night Shift starts from 8:30 PM IST 


About The Role

As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:


- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email


 - The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time


 - Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach



You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.


Responsibilities Include:

- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them


 - Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable


 - Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it


 - Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel


 - Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable


 - Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work


 - Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against


 - Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim


 - Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise


 - Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for


 - Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship


 - Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn



What You Bring:


- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments


 - Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS


 - Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people


 - Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React


 - Experience with DynamoDB single-table design


 - Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services


 - At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it


 - Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes


 - Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment


 - A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet


 - Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners


-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture; 


multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines


Preferred:

 - Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them


 - Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship


 - Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services

About the company

The client is the home base for hardware engineers. They give the teams building robots, rockets, medical devices, and the next generation of physical products a single place to move fast without breaking things, turning CAD chaos into a system of record engineers actually love to work in. We're profitable, post-Series A, and growing our Hyderabad engineering team.


About the role

We're looking for a tech lead to set the technical direction for a growing team and raise the bar for everyone around them. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll still write production code, but your largest impact comes through architecture, mentorship, and the standards you instill. You own outcomes for a team, not just your own commits. 


What you'll do

  • Lead the technical direction of a team building across our TypeScript/React + Node.js + AWS stack
  • Drive architecture decisions, document tradeoffs, and align the team on a clear technical path Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and guidance, growing them toward strong production ownership
  • Set and uphold standards for code quality, testing, and operational rigor
  • Stay hands-on: write production code on the highest-leverage and hardest problems
  • Partner with product and leadership to scope work, manage technical risk, and deliver predictably
  • Be accountable for the reliability and maturity of the systems your team owns in production


What we're looking for

  • Demonstrated technical leadership: you've set direction for a team and elevated those around you
  • Strong full-stack proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js, plus solid AWS depth
  • A track record of shipping to production and owning systems in operation, and of holding a team to that same standard
  • Strong architectural judgment: you decompose ambiguous problems, weigh tradeoffs, and make decisions others can build on
  • Excellent communication: you keep your team aligned and stakeholders informed, and you surface risk early
  • Comfort leading in a fast-paced, high-ownership early-stage environment 


Why choose us?

  • The teams building advanced hardware and the robots, machines, and devices shaping the future run
  • Direct access to founders; you'll help shape product and engineering direction, not just execute tickets
  • Fast feedback loops: what you build is in front of customers in days, not quarters
  • Profitable at Series A, so you get startup upside without the constant fundraising-survival anxiety
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • Bi-yearly appraisal cycles
  • Upto 20% Bonus based on performance
  • Monthly Swiggy vouchers
  • Flexibility with work hours

About the Role


SwitchKart is on a mission to make technology more accessible and more sustainable — we're in the business of recommerce, giving old smartphones a second life, cutting down e-waste, and extending the lifecycle of every device we touch.

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help us build and scale the ecosystem of platforms powering this mission — from our procurement app to our retailer app, pricing engines, and warranty systems. You'll take ownership of complex features end-to-end, mentor junior engineers, and make architectural decisions that shape how we grow.


What You'll Do


• Own Features End-to-End: Design, build, and ship full stack features across our procurement, retailer, pricing, and warranty platforms — from database schema to UI polish.

• Drive Architecture: Make key technical decisions on system design, scalability, and code structure as our ecosystem of apps grows.

• Build AI-First: Design and build systems with AI at the core — not bolted on. Think about where AI can automate, assist, or enhance the products you're building from day one.

• Build Scalable Architecture: Build and monitor a highly performant, failure-resistant platform — we take pride in doing this with a small, high-ownership team.

• Automate and Integrate: Develop tools that automate our integration processes and build data pipelines across our app ecosystem.

• Foster Technical Excellence: Champion unit and integration testing and lead meaningful code reviews across the team.

• Prototype and Validate: Create interactive prototypes to prove out technical concepts and participate in pilots for new initiatives.

• Mentor the Team: Guide junior developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical direction.

• Report Upward: Provide regular updates to management on milestones, risks, issues, and mitigation plans.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product and design to translate requirements into robust technical solutions across multiple products.


What We're Looking For


Must Have


• 4+ years of full stack development experience

• Strong proficiency in React and Node.js

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL — schema design, query optimisation

• Experience designing and scaling production systems

• Experience deploying and managing applications on a cloud platform (AWS/GCP or similar)

• Comfortable owning a feature from concept to deployment

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills


Good to Have


• Experience mentoring or leading junior engineers

• Track record of driving scalability and time-to-market in past cloud architecture decisions

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with Docker, NoSQL databases, or distributed caching

• Experience integrating third-party REST/SOAP APIs

• Experience in a fast-moving startup environment


Why SwitchKart


• Real ownership over architecture and technical direction.

• Access to the latest AI coding agents and tools — we invest in keeping our engineers on the cutting edge.

• Work on a genuinely differentiated business with measurable impact.

• Be part of a lean team where your decisions shape the product.

• Opportunity to mentor and grow the engineering team.
