create a comprehensive soul for their brand in the online world, engaged through multiple

platforms of digital media. Our team is young, passionate, and aggressive, not afraid to think out

of the box or tread the un-trodden path in order to deliver the best results for our clients. We

pride ourselves on Practical Creativity where the idea is only as good as the returns it fetches for

our clients.


Role Overview

We are hiring a Founding Backend Engineer to architect and build the core backend

Key Responsibilities

● Architect, develop, and scale backend systems and APIs powering AI chat and knowledge

retrieval.

● Build data ingestion & processing pipelines for structured and unstructured enterprise

data.

● Implement multi-tenant security, user access control (RBAC), encryption, and

compliance-friendly design.

● Integrate and orchestrate LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with vector databases

(Pinecone, Qdrant, OpenSearch) to support advanced AI and RAG workflows.

● Ensure platform reliability, performance, and fault tolerance from day one.

● Own end-to-end CI/CD, observability, and deployment pipelines.

● Collaborate directly with leadership on product strategy, architecture, and scaling

roadmap.


Required Skills

● Strong hands-on experience in Python (Django/FastAPI) or Node.js (TypeScript) — Python

preferred.

● Deep understanding of PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and modern API design patterns.

● Experience with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, and vector search technologies.

● Strong exposure to cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), CI/CD, and microservice architecture.

● Solid foundation in security best practices — authentication, RBAC, encryption, data

isolation.

● Ability to independently design and deliver high-performance distributed systems.

Software Engineer 

About Brew:-

We believe that the future of banking will be built on top of Cryptocurrencies and DeFi Protocols. However, in its current form, DeFi is too expensive and complex for a common person to participate in. We want to change that with Brew. 

 

Underneath the hood, Brew is a Wallet that makes it super simple to make deposits and take out loans on DeFi and do peer-to-peer and merchant transactions without having to worry about gas fees or navigating multiple chains and tokens. 

The founders come from a strong background in technology and product. We’re backed by some of the best investors in the startup and crypto ecosystem. We’re based out of Bangalore, India but are open to the remote too. 

 

Role:-

We seek engineers who are passionate about building great products and have the conviction that Crypto is going to change the world for the better. 

You may be fit for this role if you 

  • Love Programming and are able to write high-quality code.
  • Have between 1-3 years of experience.
  • Are curious and have a willingness to learn. 
  • Maintain a high degree of ownership and accountability.
  • Are proficient in OOPs, Data Structures, and Algorithms. 
  • Familiarity with Solidity, Node.js, React Native and C++ is a plus. 

As part of being the founding team, you will play a crucial role in shaping and building the product. In recognition of that, there will be a meaningful equity component in the compensation.

 

We look forward to talking to you.
