Are you looking for a super-challenging role designing backend systems that scale to 1000+ TPSs in one of India's fastest growing, profitable near-Unicorns with businesses spanning Lending, E-comm and UPI? Then this is the role for you.

Client Company is a profitable, rapidly scaling unicorn which is extremely well capitalized. Client has a very strong moat in the consumer lending space on the back of which it is entering into additional large markets such as E-comm and UPI.

Client company is now entering its next phase of growth from a fast-scaling startup to a robust, high-scale financial platform serving millions of users daily.

You'll design systems built for 10x100x growth, make the key technical trade-off calls, and stay deeply hands-on. Beyond building, you'll mentor engineers and work directly with founders and product teams to translate business goals into scalable, reliable systems.

This role is an opportunity to:

Shape the next-generation architecture for a high-throughput fintech system
Build systems designed to scale 10x100x from current volumes
Solve real-world problems across performance, reliability, and financial-grade security

Responsibilities

Design and evolve the platform architecture to support 10x100x growth
Own systems end-to-end from the first design decision to production impact
Lead system design discussions and set the long-term technical direction for the platform
Identify scale bottlenecks early and drive solutions
Mentor and elevate engineers through design reviews, code quality, and architectural thinking
Partner directly with founders and product teams to turn business priorities into scalable systems
Operate with high ownership in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly
Drive projects independently own timelines, coordinate with teams, and see delivery
Conduct rigorous code reviews and champion engineering best practices across the team
Proactively identify gaps in the system and come up with concrete approaches to address them
Solve technical problems across the company not just confined to a single pod
Challenge existing architecture with data and reasoning push back when its the right call, and drive adoption of better approaches.

Requirements

7-12 years of experience in backend or platform engineering
Strong computer science fundamentals (preferably from IIT, BITS, NITs)
Strong proficiency in backend development (Node.js, Java, Go, or equivalent)
Proven experience scaling systems through high-growth startup phases (1→10 or beyond)
Track record of building and owning critical platforms or systems from scratch
Exposure to high-volume transactional systems; fintech or lending is a strong plus
Bias for action - moves fast, makes sound decisions, owns outcomes end-to-end
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving priorities in a startup environment
Strong problem-solving skills ability to break down complex technical challenges and arrive at pragmatic, well-reasoned solutions
Hands-on experience with platform engineering developer tooling, shared services, infrastructure abstractions, or internal platforms
