About the team & role :
Railways are the backbone of India. However, the passenger experience is broken across the board.
Starting with food, where the food served in pantries & platforms is not fit for human consumption,
Railofy is on a mission to create the largest & the most trustworthy brand in this space. Since launch
in Jan 2020, Railofy has scaled to become the leading online food brand in each of the stations that it
operates.
We are a VC-funded startup solving one of the biggest transportation problems India faces. Most passengers in India travel long distance by IRCTC trains. At time of booking, approx 1 out of every 2 passengers end up with a Waitlisted or RAC ticket. This creates a lot of anxiety for passengers, as Railway only announces only 4 hour before departure if they have a confirmed seat. We solve this problem through our Waitlist & RAC Protection. Protection can be bought against each IRCTC ticket
at time of booking. If train ticket is not confirmed, we fly the passenger to the destination. Our team consists of 3 Founders from IIT, IIM and ISB.
Functional Experience :
Computer Science or IT Engineering background with solid understanding of basics of Data Structures and Algorithms
2 years of relevant experience with Python coding
1+ years of OOP’s Structural coding experience.
Expertise in Python packages like pandas, numPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, seaborn, Flask, streamlit
Able to Implement security and data protection solutions

testers, designers, and users
Analytical skills – Good understanding of algorithms and logic that goes behind coding the
application
Competence to write clear, optimized, necessary code
Critical thinking, and troubleshooting skills
