Hiring for Senior Software Engineer - Django

Software Development Engineer

📍 Bangalore (On-site) · Reporting to the CTO · 2–7 years experience

We're hiring a Software Development Engineer to build the systems that keep real-world operations running - from customer-facing products to the internal tools field teams rely on every morning. If you want your code to matter to people standing in a warehouse or walking a route, not just to a dashboard, read on.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and ship across the stack: backend services, APIs, mobile and web field apps, and operational dashboards
• Build the systems that run daily operations: deployment, attendance, check-in/check-out, work verification, and issue resolution
• Make products work where the network doesn't — offline-first and vernacular-first experiences built for field-heavy, low-connectivity conditions
• Own features end to end, from design discussions to deployment to on-call
• Work shoulder to shoulder with Product, Ops, and field users to solve what's actually happening on the ground
• Contribute to the data pipelines and analytics that power planning, forecasting, and unit economics

What we're looking for

• 2–7 years building and shipping production software
• Comfortable across the stack, or deep in one area and eager to stretch
• A strong ownership mindset — you ship, you debug production issues at odd hours, and you care whether it actually works for the user
• Pragmatic with trade-offs, able to balance speed against quality without losing either
• Bonus: experience building for low-bandwidth, offline-first, next-billion-user contexts
