About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Backend Developer with deep expertise in building scalable, high-performance applications. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and distributed systems. You will play a key role in designing and optimizing APIs, architecting robust systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, and Microservices architecture.
• Build and optimize APIs for large-scale applications ensuring high performance and reliability.
• Apply clean coding principles, SOLID design patterns, and clean architecture to deliver maintainable and robust code.
• Work with distributed systems technologies (Kafka, ELK, in-memory databases, Cassandra, or similar).
• Write efficient SQL queries and integrate with relational and NoSQL databases.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and other developers to define and align on technical decisions.
• Identify and solve complex problems with innovative and scalable solutions.
• Drive best practices in coding standards, system design, and performance optimization.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly across teams and stakeholders.

Skills & Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience as a Backend Developer.
• Strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, SQL.
• Significant experience in API design and optimization for enterprise-scale applications.
• Proficiency in distributed systems & related technologies (Kafka, ELK, in-memory DBs, Cassandra, etc.).
• Strong understanding of object-oriented engineering principles (SOLID, clean architecture).
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and align teams.

Why this role exists:

You’ll own our data pipelines—ingesting, cleaning, and serving fashion/e-commerce data at scale—so the team (and founder) can focus on building new capabilities. If you love end-to-end ownership and turning messy web data into reliable, queryable systems, this role is your playground.

What you’ll do:

• Ingestion at scale: Design, build, and operate resilient crawlers/scrapers with rotation, rate-limits, backoff, and change-tolerance.
• Robust pipelines: Normalization, deduping, schema evolution, enrichment, and SLAs for freshness & completeness.
• Data stores & caching: Model products/variants/attributes in PostgreSQL, manage Redis for caching/queues, and keep costs predictable.
• Observability & quality: Instrument with metrics/tracing, add data QA checks, alerts, and auto-healing where sensible.
• Performance & reliability: Optimize throughput, memory, I/O, and infra spend; design for retries, idempotency, and correct delivery semantics.
• Collaboration: Partner with search/ML/product teams; write crisp docs; raise the bar in reviews; mentor where helpful.

Must-haves:

• Super high ownership: End-to-end closure on tasks you lead.
• 3.5+ years building backend systems, preferably in Python with production ownership.
• Strong data pipeline experience (batch/stream): schema design, deduplication, and backfills.
• Hands-on with PostgreSQL/MySQL and Redis (caching, rate-limits, queues).
• Real-world web scraping: requests/httpx/aiohttp, BeautifulSoup/lxml/Scrapy/Playwright, anti-bot tactics, respectful crawling.
• Concurrency & async (asyncio, multiprocessing), robust error handling, idempotent jobs.
• Solid testing habits and bias for simple, maintainable code.

Nice-to-haves:

• Message queues/streams: Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS.
• Workflow schedulers: Airflow, Prefect.
• GraphQL; search tech (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch).
• Cost/perf tuning, on-call pragmatism, or prior startup/founding team experience.

How we work:

• High ownership, fast shipping, clear interfaces, strong documentation.
• We optimize for time to go live—startups that succeed outpace those that don’t.
• Competitive salary + meaningful ESOPs.
• (Optional) Work from our hacker-house on MG Road, Gurgaon.

Hiring process (fast closures)

1. 30-min technical deep-dive
2. Take-home (optional)
3. Founder conversation & references
