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
