Systems analysis and design

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to design and implement the backend systems that power the platform. You will work on correctness-critical components, including our ledger, orchestration flows, reconciliation logic, and integrations with external systems.


This role is highly technical and requires engineers who can turn complex requirements into robust, production-ready code.


WHAT YOU BRING

You are an experienced engineer who has owned large-scale, high-integrity backend systems end-to-end. You think naturally in terms of invariants, correctness, failure modes, and data integrity. You’ve built complex products where automation and user value movement must work flawlessly. You thrive in lean teams where every engineer operates as a founder-level builder.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will be responsible for building key backend systems and capabilities. You will:

  • Implement the ledger and accounting workflows that track user operations and automated value movements.
  • Build event-driven services and pipelines that process transactions, coordinate workflows, and ensure execution guarantees.
  • Develop APIs that power the mobile app and internal agentic systems.
  • Integrate external systems across identity, verification, value movement, and operational tooling.
  • Define and enforce system invariants, data constraints, and internal correctness rules.
  • Implement observability, monitoring, and internal tools to ensure reliability.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested backend code suitable for correctness-critical workloads.
  • Work closely with the Lead Engineer to ensure delivery and architectural alignment.


BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Go, Rust, or a similar systems-oriented language.
  • Experience building transactional backends, orchestration systems, or high-integrity data pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of database internals, indexing strategies, and consistency guarantees.
  • Experience integrating external APIs and ensuring reliability at boundaries.
  • Excellent debugging skills and strong operational instincts.
  • Ability to deliver independently in a senior, lean engineering team.


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience building financial systems, accounting workflows, or correctness-critical logic.
  • Familiarity with trust-minimized or verifiable execution systems.
  • Exposure to agent-driven or automation-heavy architectures.


WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive compensation.
  • High ownership and the opportunity to shape product direction.
  • Direct impact on foundational cryptographic and blockchain infrastructure.
  • A collaborative team that values clarity, autonomy, and velocity.


Note: This role can be remote; however Bengaluru or Mumbai candidates will be prioritized.

Criteria:

  • Candidate must have 6+ years of backend engineering experience, with 1–2 years leading engineers or owning major systems.

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, caching, high availability, and microservices architecture.

  • Ability to partner with Product, Data, Infrastructure, and lead end-to-end backend roadmap execution.


Description

What This Role Is All About

We’re looking for a Backend Tech Lead who’s equally obsessed with architecture decisions and clean code, someone who can zoom out to design systems and zoom in to fix that one weird memory leak. You’ll lead a small but sharp team, drive the backend roadmap, and make sure our systems stay fast, lean, and battle-tested.

 

What You’ll Own

● Architect backend systems that handle India-scale traffic without breaking a sweat.

● Build and evolve microservices, APIs, and internal platforms that our entire app depends on.

● Guide, mentor, and uplevel a team of backend engineers—be the go-to technical brain.

● Partner with Product, Data, and Infra to ship features that are reliable and delightful.

● Set high engineering standards—clean architecture, performance, automation, and testing.

● Lead discussions on system design, performance tuning, and infra choices.

● Keep an eye on production like a hawk: metrics, monitoring, logs, uptime.

● Identify gaps proactively and push for improvements instead of waiting for fires.

 

What Makes You a Great Fit

● 6+ years of backend experience; 1–2 years leading engineers or owning major systems.

● Strong in one core language (Node.js / Go / Java / Python) — pick your sword.

● Deep understanding of distributed systems, caching, high-availability, and microservices.

● Hands-on with AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.

● You think data structures and system design are not interviews — they’re daily tools.

● You write code that future-you won’t hate.

● Strong communication and a let’s figure this out attitude.

 

Bonus Points If You Have

● Built or scaled consumer apps with millions of DAUs.

● Experimented with event-driven architecture, streaming systems, or real-time pipelines.

● Love startups and don’t mind wearing multiple hats.

● Experience on logging/monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, OpenTelemetry.

 

Why company Might Be Your Best Move

● Work on products used by real people every single day.

● Ownership from day one—your decisions will shape our core architecture.

● No unnecessary hierarchy; direct access to founders and senior leadership.

● A team that cares about quality, speed, and impact in equal measure.

● Build for Bharat — complex constraints, huge scale, real impact.
