About the company


A profitable, venture-backed startup building B2B API infrastructure for the HR and people operations ecosystem. The platform provides a unified integration layer across HR, payroll, benefits, and related systems, helping software companies connect to and manage these integrations without building them individually.


The company serves mid-market and enterprise customers, including organizations in regulated industries, and is looking to hire a senior engineer who can act as a second technical owner alongside the CTO.


What's broken or missing that we need help with

  • Write APIs: The platform already supports read operations across a large number of systems. Write APIs are where the real complexity lies: payroll deductions, employee creation, benefits enrollment, and other critical workflows. Every write API is part research project (understanding undocumented behavior) and part reliability problem (idempotency, retries, partial failures). We need someone who can own this surface end-to-end.
  • On-prem deployments: Enterprise customers need the platform deployed within their own VPC or infrastructure environments. One such deployment has already been completed. We now need a clean, repeatable pattern that can scale across future customers.
  • Hiring: You'll play a significant role in interviewing engineering candidates over the next 12 months. The quality of the next set of hires will have a meaningful impact on the future of the engineering organization.

What this role really is

  • This is a senior IC role with leverage, not a manager role.
  • You'll spend most days writing code, but the code you write should remove constraints for the rest of the team rather than simply close tickets.
  • You'll serve as a second opinion on difficult design decisions, a code reviewer who raises the engineering bar, and someone engineers can escalate to when they're stuck.
  • You'll also take on responsibilities that occasionally overlap with leadership work: interviewing, mentoring, and helping resolve technical disagreements, but as a peer and technical leader rather than a people manager.

Your first six months, roughly

  • Month 1: Onboard deeply. Read the codebase. Participate in architecture discussions. Focus on understanding before changing things.
  • Months 2–3: Pick one of the key problem areas above, most likely Write APIs. Own it. Propose a plan, get buy-in, and begin execution.
  • Month 4: Start running the senior side of the interview process. Help hire at least one engineer this quarter.
  • Months 5–6: Ship meaningful infrastructure work. Participate in one on-call rotation per month. Become a second voice on architecture decisions that span multiple teams.

Who you are

  • 5–8 years of production engineering experience
  • Deep expertise in Python and Postgres
  • FastAPI ideal
  • You've built and operated systems that handle real load. Not Twitter scale, but real customers losing real money when things break.
  • You've worked at a startup before and know how to ship without every safety net in place
  • You've designed APIs that other engineers consume and can clearly explain technical trade-offs
  • You've mentored both junior and senior engineers and know how to give feedback that lands
  • You're calm under pressure

Who you are not

  • A people manager looking to return to IC work as a temporary stop. This role is intended for someone who wants to remain deeply technical.
  • An architect who prefers design discussions over writing production code. The role is hands-on.
  • Someone whose experience has been exclusively in large technology companies. If you've never worked in an environment where customer context is highly visible, the transition may require adjustment.
  • Someone who needs every problem to be greenfield. You'll spend meaningful time working within an existing codebase and improving systems you didn't originally build.

The Offer

  • Cash: Competitive compensation for a profitable startup at this stage.
  • Equity: ESOPs with a 4-year vesting schedule and 1-year cliff.
  • Location: Bengaluru. Relocation support available.
  • Reporting: Directly to the CTO with a close working relationship.
  • Equipment & health: MacBook Pro and dependent health insurance.

We’re building financial data systems that power real business decisions — and we need someone who knows how to make Django, PostgreSQL, Celery, and APIs play nicely at scale.


You know what clean, reliable backend systems look like — because you’ve built them. You’ve handled authentication quirks, rate limits, and webhooks; you build code that’s maintainable, performant, and correct.


If you’re curious about financial data, transactions, and KPIs, and enjoy turning numbers into insight, this role is for you. (Experience with banking or accounting APIs is a big plus.)



What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain Django-based systems using Celery for async and scheduled tasks
  • Integrate and manage data from multiple APIs (banking, accounting, analytics, etc.)
  • Design and optimize internal APIs
  • Improve reliability, scalability, and performance
  • Collaborate closely with product and frontend engineers


Your Profile

You’re an experienced backend engineer who is strong in all core areas of modern Python development:

  • Python, Django, Django REST Framework
  • Celery and asynchronous / distributed task handling
  • PostgreSQL and robust data modeling
  • Docker and containerized deployment workflows
  • Unit testing (pytest or equivalent) and maintainable test structures
  • Git, CI/CD, and reliable deployment automation
  • API integrations (REST, OAuth, webhooks)
  • Caching strategies & background job handling (preferred Redis experience)
  • Solid understanding of security, permissions, and performance optimization


You’ve already built or scaled production-grade systems and can take ownership from architecture to deployment.


Experience with fintech or data integration systems is an advantage.


How We Work

We’re a small, remote-first team that values ownership over micromanagement.


You’ll have freedom in how you work — what matters is your impact.

Our daily language is English.


About finban

We’re building a platform that helps businesses understand and manage their financial performance in real time by connecting and analyzing data from banking, accounting, and analytics systems.


If you’ve built or scaled production Django systems before and love clean architecture — we’d love to see your work.

About the Role

We are hiring Staff / Principal Engineers to take full, hands-on ownership of Blitzy's most critical production-grade systems and to deliver high-leverage features that materially improve customer outcomes and engineering velocity. This is the most senior individual contributor role at the company today.

This is not a Senior-plus role, an architecture-only role, or a promotion-track role. We are looking for someone who has already operated at Principal / Staff+ scope in a highly technical environment and expects to spend their time writing, reviewing, and shipping production code.

This role is 100% hands-on. Leverage comes from system ownership, execution quality, and durable technical decisions — not people management or process.


Responsibilities

  • Own mission-critical production systems end-to-end, ensuring correctness, scalability, performance, reliability, and operational excellence.
  • Design, build, and ship high-impact backend systems and features that improve product reliability, performance, and customer value.
  • Architect scalable services and cloud infrastructure using technologies such as Python, REST, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
  • Identify and resolve complex technical bottlenecks that limit engineering quality, system performance, or organizational velocity.
  • Build and operate LLM-powered systems and validation loops that evaluate correctness, consistency, durability, and production performance.
  • Design and evolve data architectures incorporating relational, NoSQL, graph, and vector databases to support complex enterprise applications and semantic retrieval.
  • Modernize and improve complex enterprise systems while balancing reliability, maintainability, scalability, and delivery speed.
  • Set and uphold engineering quality standards through hands-on technical leadership, sound technical judgment, and ownership of long-term technical decisions.


Qualifications

  • Direct experience with Python as a primary programming language, backend frameworks, and microservices architectures.
  • Expertise in REST and gRPC, with proficiency in Node.js and JavaScript.
  • Proficiency in GCP, along with experience using at least one additional cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.
  • Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes and Terraform in production environments.
  • Experience operating highly available production systems, including monitoring, scalability, reliability, performance optimization, and operational tooling.
  • Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB.
  • Familiarity with graph databases such as Neo4j and vector databases or embedding infrastructure for semantic search and retrieval.
  • Hands-on experience building and operating LLM-powered systems in production, including evaluation, validation, regression testing, tracing, and failure analysis.
  • Working knowledge of LangSmith or comparable LLM observability and evaluation tools; familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar model providers is a plus.
  • Ability to contribute across the full stack, with a strong understanding of frontend architecture and the ability to debug, design, and ship across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI systems.
  • Understanding of large-scale enterprise software systems, including architecture, integration, deployment, modernization, and long-term maintainability.
  • Proven track record of operating at Staff+, Principal Engineer, or equivalent level, independently driving complex technical initiatives and delivering high-impact outcomes with minimal supervision.
