Location: Bangalore

Experience: 2–5 years

Type: Full-time | On-site

Open Roles: 2

Start: Immediate

Why this role exists

Most systems work at a low scale.

Very few survive real production load, complex workflows, and enterprise edge cases.

We are building a platform that must:

  • Scale from 500K → 20M+ interactions/month
  • Handle complex insurance workflows reliably
  • Become easier to deploy as it grows, not harder

This role exists to build the backend foundation that makes this possible.

What you’ll do

You will not just write services.

You will design and own core platform systems.

1. Scale the platform without breaking architecture

  • Scale from 50K → 2M+ interactions/month
  • Ensure:
  • High availability
  • Low latency
  • Fault tolerance
  • Avoid large rewrites — build systems that evolve cleanly

2. Build the workflow automation (WA) engine

  • Design a flexible system with:
  • States
  • Stages
  • Cohorts
  • Dynamic workflows
  • Ensure workflows:
  • Handle edge cases reliably
  • Can be configured easily
  • Move from:
  • Hardcoded flows → configurable execution engine

3. Build the insurance-specific data layer

  • Design data models for:
  • Policy states
  • Claim workflows
  • Consent tracking
  • Ensure the system works across:
  • Multiple insurers
  • Multiple use cases
  • Build a platform-first data layer, not use-case-specific hacks

4. Make deployment and setup simple

  • Ensure workflows and data models are:
  • Easy to configure
  • Easy to launch
  • Reduce friction for:
  • Product teams
  • Deployment teams

5. Create a compounding data advantage

  • Build a data layer that:
  • Improves with every deployment
  • Captures structured signals
  • Ensure data becomes a long-term edge, not just storage

6. Own production reliability

  • Participate in on-call rotation across 3 engineers
  • Ensure:
  • Incidents are handled quickly
  • Root causes are fixed permanently
  • Build systems where reliability is shared, not individual

What success looks like

  • Platform scales to 2M+ interactions/month smoothly
  • Workflow engine supports complex, dynamic use cases
  • Data layer enables fast deployment across accounts
  • Edge cases are handled without constant firefighting
  • System becomes easier to use as it grows
  • Production issues are rare and predictable

Who you are

  • You have 2-5 years of backend engineering experience
  • You have built:
  • Scalable systems
  • Distributed services
  • You think in:
  • Systems
  • Data models
  • Trade-offs
  • You are comfortable owning:
  • Architecture
  • Production systems

What will make you stand out

  • Experience building:
  • Workflow engines
  • State machines
  • Data-heavy platforms
  • Strong understanding of:
  • System design
  • Distributed systems
  • Failure handling
  • Experience working in:
  • High-scale production environments

Why join

  • You will build the core backend of an AI platform
  • Your work directly impacts:
  • Scale
  • Reliability
  • Product capability
  • You will design systems that move from:
  • Use-case specific → platform-level infrastructure

What this role is not

  • Not just API development
  • Not limited to feature-level work
  • Not disconnected from production realities

What this role is

  • A system architect
  • A builder of scalable platforms
  • A driver of long-term technical advantage

One question to self-evaluate

Can you design backend systems that scale, handle edge cases, and become easier to use as they grow?

Build backend systems that make complex workflows reliable, maintainable, and easier to evolve. You’ll work on production Python services, modernize existing applications, and deliver APIs and integrations used by real teams.


The role is focused on backend development using Python, Django, and FastAPI, with occasional contributions to frontend applications built with React or Next.js. You will work across API development, system integrations, data workflows, background processing, and the modernization of existing services.


You will help improve reliability and operational maturity using AWS, practical Site Reliability Engineering principles, and observability platforms such as Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch, Prometheus, or similar tools.


This is a backend-first role for an engineer who understands that testing, security, reliability, and observability are core parts of production software development.


What you'll do

  • Own the delivery and day-to-day reliability of clearly scoped backend features and APIs built with Python, Django, and FastAPI.
  • Improve the maintainability of existing services by simplifying legacy workflows, business logic, data models, and integrations.
  • Deliver secure, well-documented APIs that enable frontend applications, internal tools, and third-party integrations.
  • Keep data workflows reliable through safe schema changes, migrations, backfills, validation, and failure recovery.
  • Build background jobs and asynchronous workflows that handle retries, timeouts, rate limits, idempotency, and operational failures.
  • Raise confidence in releases through automated tests, thoughtful code reviews, and production-readiness checks.
  • Improve performance and reliability using profiling, query optimization, caching, monitoring, and practical fault handling.
  • Make services easier to operate by maintaining useful logs, metrics, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks.
  • Contribute to React or Next.js integrations and internal administration interfaces when needed to deliver complete product outcomes.
  • Collaborate with product, frontend, platform, DevOps, SRE, and operations teammates to ship well-scoped solutions and document technical decisions.


What we're looking for


Required

  • 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, mainly in backend development.
  • Good proficiency in Python and production experience with either Django or FastAPI, with willingness to learn the other.
  • Practical experience designing REST APIs and integrating with third-party or internal services.
  • Working knowledge of SQL, relational databases, an ORM such as Django ORM or SQLAlchemy, and database migrations.
  • Experience writing automated tests and diagnosing defects or production issues.
  • Good problem-solving, communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.


Preferred

  • Familiarity with background jobs or asynchronous processing using Celery, SQS, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar tools.
  • Experience deploying or supporting applications on AWS or another cloud platform.
  • Familiarity with structured logging, metrics, dashboards, alerts, and observability tools.
  • Exposure to React or Next.js integrations.
  • Experience with Docker, Redis, webhooks, queues, or event-driven systems.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, and least-privilege access.
  • Experience helping with production incidents, performance testing, or safe deployment practices.
