Role- Sr Senior Engineer
Location -Hyderabad
Shift -Night Shift starts from 8:30 PM IST
About The Role
As a Senior Engineer on the team, you will own systems end to end across a high-volume, event-driven surface. You'll build the APIs and services behind key initiatives including:
- The driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that reach drivers across SMS, push, and email
- The onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer, architected to support Veho's move to an in-house system over time
- Live selling workflows that turn live offer and market-clearing data into well-timed, well-targeted driver outreach
You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Data Science to ship tooling that scales with Veho's growth.
Responsibilities Include:
- Design, build, test, and deploy features across the driver-facing apps (driver mobile app, onboarding and registration surfaces), our GraphQL APIs, and the event-driven services behind them
- Own a problem end to end: write the design doc your team works from, build it, roll it out behind a feature flag, and stay on it after launch until it is stable
- Own the driver comms platform — the rules engine, cohorting, and scheduling that decide when to reach a driver over SMS, push, or email, and the delivery services behind it
- Build the onboarding funnel and applicant tracking layer: registration and set-password flows, consent and eligibility gating, and the integrations that track where every applicant sits in the funnel
- Build live selling workflows that consume live offer data and market-clearing signals to notify the right driver cohorts only when routes are actually claimable
- Contribute to architectural decisions and technical design for complex, distributed systems, and architect today's comms and onboarding infrastructure so it supports the eventual in-house replacement of our third-party ATS rather than becoming throwaway work
- Break a project into milestones your product, design, ops, and data partners can plan against
- Write correctness-first code in an event-driven system where delivery is at-least-once and no driver may be texted twice about the same route — and where a send must never fire when there is no offer to claim
- Improve reliability and observability in the services you own, with alerts that fire on real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so an on-call engineer is paged for a broken send pipeline and not for noise
- Propose the engineering work your team should be doing, including the reliability, data-quality, and compliance work nobody is asking for
- Use AI-native development workflows and tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as part of how you ship
- Mentor the engineers around you, keep the team's code review bar high, and write down what you learn
What You Bring:
- 5–7+ years of experience building, testing, and deploying applications in high-traffic production environments
- Depth in AWS serverless, including Lambda, a managed GraphQL layer such as AppSync, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and SQS
- Experience with event-driven systems and the idempotency work that comes with at-least-once delivery — especially in a comms context where duplicate or misfired messages reach real people
- Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and React
- Experience with DynamoDB single-table design
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms and their webhooks, and keeping the data they produce in sync and trustworthy across services
- At least one project owned through production rollout, including what broke afterward and who fixed it
- Experience operating a service in production long enough to own its failure modes
- Judgment about what a design costs in engineering time, dollars, and vendor commitment
- A self-starter mindset with the ability to move quickly and ship iteratively, including on migrations, compliance obligations, and the manual steps nobody has automated yet
- Enthusiasm for working closely with product, design, operations, data science, and support partners
-Tech Stack: AWS, TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, GraphQL, DynamoDB, serverless event-driven architecture;
multi-channel comms (SMS, push, email); Firebase Auth; Statsig for experimentation; Redshift/Databricks-backed data pipelines
Preferred:
- Experience with applicant tracking / recruiting funnels or other funnel-driven onboarding systems, and the drop-off analysis that improves them
- Experience with experimentation and analytics infrastructure (Statsig, Fivetran, Redshift, Databricks) to measure and tune what you ship
- Consent modeling and compliance obligations (e.g., driver terms-and-conditions and messaging consent) that span services
