NodeJS Developer

If your code breaks here, it doesn’t just throw an error.

Jobs don’t get fulfilled. Farmers lose trust during crop windows that don’t wait.

We’re hiring a Software Development Engineer in Bangalore to build the systems that keep real-world operations running — from customer-facing products to the internal tools field teams depend on every morning.

→ Design, build, and ship across the stack: backend services, APIs, mobile/web field apps, and operational dashboards

→ Build systems for deployment, attendance, check-in/check-out, work verification, and issue resolution

→ Make products work in low-connectivity, field-heavy conditions with offline-first and vernacular-first experiences

→ Own features end to end — from design discussions to deployment to on-call

→ Work closely with Product, Ops, and field users to solve what’s actually happening on the ground

→ Contribute to data pipelines and analytics that power planning, forecasting, and unit economics

• 1–5 years building production software

• Comfortable across the stack, or deep in one area and ready to stretch

• Strong ownership mindset — you ship, debug production issues, and care if it works for the user

• Pragmatic with trade-offs and able to balance speed with quality

• Bonus if you’ve built for low-bandwidth, offline-first, next-billion-user contexts

Stack: Python, Django, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS/GCP, Docker, CI/CD

You’ll be building software for the real economy — farmers, labour, livelihoods — not another dashboard for another SaaS tool.

Job Location - Hyderabad & Ahmedabad 

What you'll do: 

• Perform complex application programming activities with an emphasis on mobile development:  Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, RESTful APIs and related backend frameworks 

• Assist in the definition of system architecture and detailed solution design that are scalable and extensible 
• Collaborate with Product Owners, Designers, and other engineers on different permutations to find the best solution possible 
• Own the quality of code and do your own testing. Write unit test and improve test coverage.

What we’re looking for: 

• Amazing technical instincts. You know how to evaluate and choose the right technology and approach for the job. You have stories you could share about what problem you thought you were solving at first, but through testing and iteration, came to solve a much bigger and better problem that resulted in positive outcomes all-around. 
• A love for learning. Technology is continually evolving around us, and you want to keep up to date to ensure we are using the right tech at the right time. 
• A love for working in ambiguity—and making sense of it. You can take in a lot of disparate information and find common themes, recommend clear paths forward and iterate along the way. You don’t form an opinion and sell it as if it’s gospel; this is all about being flexible, agile, dependable, and responsive in the face of many moving parts. 
• Flexible and willing to accept change in priorities, as necessary

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Full-Stack Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of our next-generation intelligent applications. In this role, you will bridge the gap between robust full-stack architecture and smart artificial intelligence integrations. You will be responsible for building scalable Node.js microservices, crafting intuitive React interfaces, and embedding AI capabilities (such as LLM APIs, autonomous agents, and smart workflows) to solve complex user problems.

As a senior member of the team, you will champion technical excellence, mentor junior developers, and influence our product roadmap.

Key Responsibilities:

AI Integration & Engineering

• Architect and implement backend systems that interface with Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI services via APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, or custom internal model endpoints).
• Build middleware to handle prompt engineering, context orchestration, and structural parsing of AI responses into application logic.
• Implement guardrails, caching layers, rate-limiting, and evaluation metrics for AI model outputs to ensure reliability, security, and cost-efficiency.
• Stay up-to-date with emerging generative AI patterns, model capabilities, and integration techniques to drive product innovation.

Full-Stack Development

• Backend: Build, scale, and maintain highly performant, secure, and production-ready RESTful APIs and GraphQL services using Node.js (TypeScript / Express).
• Frontend: Develop responsive, state-managed, and visually seamless user interfaces using React.js and modern state management libraries (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query).
• Optimize application performance across the stack—from database query optimization to frontend rendering bottlenecks.

Architecture & Leadership

• Lead architectural decisions, promoting modular design, code reusability, and scalable system infrastructure.
• Enforce high engineering standards through rigorous code reviews, automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), and comprehensive documentation.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical growth.
• Work closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and stakeholders to translate ambitious product visions into concrete technical execution.
