Who We Are

Nudge is an agentic commerce platform that helps consumer brands get recommended across AI platforms, and automatically generate shoppable content optimized for real user prompts.

We're backed by marquee investors across the globe, including Antler & founders of Datadog, Miro, and Framer. We are building a team in Bangalore that thrives on energy, curiosity, and ownership. We value strong opinions held loosely: we love people who care deeply about their craft, but who are flexible and collaborative when building together.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a founding Full-Stack Engineer who can move fluidly across the stack: dashboards, SDKs, backend services, and internal tools. You'll work across multiple projects simultaneously, shipping features end-to-end from database to UI. We care less about years of experience in a specific framework and more about your ability to pick up any codebase, understand the problem, and solve it fast.

At Nudge, engineers own the product end-to-end. You won't just receive PRDs to execute on. You'll play an active role in shaping the product roadmap, influencing technical and product decisions, and ensuring what we build truly serves our customers.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain customer-facing products: dashboards (Next.js), web SDKs, Chrome extension, and backend APIs.
• Jump across projects based on priority. You might ship a dashboard feature in the morning and debug an SDK issue in the afternoon.
• Design and build backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that power our platform.
• Write modular, maintainable code that scales across use cases and user types.
• Use AI coding assistants as a force multiplier. We expect you to ship faster and think bigger with these tools, not just write boilerplate.
• Collaborate with product and design from idea to implementation, owning features end-to-end.
• Shape our architecture and tech stack as we scale.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of professional experience in software development across frontend and backend.
• Strong fundamentals: you understand how the web works, from HTTP and networking to databases and caching, not just frameworks.
• Proficiency with coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) and a workflow that leverages them effectively. We don't want someone who can type fast. We want someone who can think fast.
• A problem-solver mindset: you're the kind of person who digs into unfamiliar codebases, reads source code, and figures things out rather than waiting to be told.
• Experience with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js. Familiarity with databases and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience building or maintaining SDKs, libraries, or developer-facing tools is a strong plus.
• Experience working with LLMs in production, including familiarity with LangChain or Vercel AI SDK.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You'll often be the only engineer on a project and need to make good decisions independently.

Strong in Java/JEE, Spring framework,MS, JavaScript, RESTful web services

•            Strong understanding of microservices and associated design patterns

•             Experience with latest unit testing tools including Junit

•              Working knowledge of Angular/React

•              Experience in SQL

•             Experience in identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities

•              Should be well versed with test driven development and be knowledgeable on associated tools and practices - CICD
