About us:

Optimo Capital is a newly established NBFC founded by Prashant Pitti, who is also a co-founder of EaseMyTrip (a billion-dollar listed startup that grew profitably without any funding).

Our mission is to serve the underserved MSME businesses in India with their credit needs. With less than 15% of MSMEs having access to formal credit, we aim to bridge this credit gap by employing a phygital model (physical branches + digital decision-making).

As a technology and data-first company, tech and data enthusiasts play a crucial role in building the infrastructure at Optimo, and help the company thrive.


What we offer:

Join our dynamic startup team as a Backend Developer and play a crucial role in building robust web APIs, credit risk and underwriting decision engines, third-party tech integrations, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.


This is an exceptional opportunity to learn, grow, and make a significant impact in a fast-paced startup environment. We believe that the freedom and accountability to make decisions in system architecture and technical design bring out the best in you — and help us build the best for the company.


What We Look For:

We're looking for individuals with strong proficiency in Python, Django, and RESTful API development. Experience with Flask, FastAPI, or AWS is a strong plus. Beyond skills, we value your attitude - your hunger to learn, take ownership, and thrive both independently and as part of a team.


We encourage picking up new technologies fast, understanding them deeply, and shipping them into production with confidence.


Skills:


>Core Backend

  • Python: Strong proficiency in writing clean, production-level Python code.
  • Django & Django REST Framework: Working knowledge in building and maintaining server-side applications.
  • Flask / FastAPI: Experience building lightweight RESTful APIs is highly valued
  • REST APIs: Strong understanding of API design principles; prior experience building or integrating REST APIs from scratch is essential.


>Databases

  • Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB)
  • Basic knowledge of query design, database management, and performance optimization.


>Cloud & DevOps

  • Basic understanding of AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, or similar services) is beneficial.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, server deployments, and cloud infrastructure management is a plus.


>Data

  • Understanding of data pipelines and ETL processes is a plus.
  • Exposure to dashboarding or data layer tools is appreciated but not required.


>Version Control

  • Proficiency in Git — branching, merging, pull requests, and conflict resolution.
  • Experience contributing to collaborative codebases is highly valued.


What You'll Work On:

  • Design and build backend systems for end-to-end lending workflows — from customer onboarding to loan disbursement — with a focus on credit and risk assessment.
  • Develop and maintain REST APIs and rule engines that power straight-through processing for property loans.
  • Integrate third-party APIs and services into our core platform.
  • Support cloud infrastructure management, including source code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and deployments.
  • Take projects from ideation to production with ownership and accountability.


Other Requirements:

  • 2–5 years of industry experience in a backend or software engineering role is required.
  • Full-time availability in Bangalore; immediate joiners preferred.
  • Strong passion for technology and backend problem-solving.
  • Self-motivated, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving environment.


If you are ready to embark on an exciting journey of growth, learning, and innovation, apply now to join our pioneering team in Bangalore.
