Objective of the Role:
We are here to build a world-class tech organization with elite engineers and change-agents who would spearhead this change. Currently, we are looking for engineers who are skilled, passionate, driven and a wee bit crazy (yes, crazy works!) to join our tribe. The current position is for the supply chain teams and our primary focus is on scale and cost optimization. The small tweaks you make, the processes you alter, experiments you run and the business decisions you drive will have reverberating effects on our ability to add value to our customers and keep them coming back for more.

Role & Responsibilities

• Design and build the system which enables the logistics team to store and deliver 15 million products per month to customers across 20 cities in India
• Work on the vision, roadmap, and processes that make customer delivery experience more delightful
• Work across teams to design a platform that scales and is flexible enough for various kinds of future scenarios
• Work on optimizing the whole logistics supply chain from warehouse to customer
• Innovate to improve the efficiency of the existing supply chain systems
  Desired skills & abilities:
• 3-6 years of experience in software development
• B.Tech. / B.E. degree in Computer Science or equivalent software engineering degree/experience
• Experience in architecture and system design 2Experience in running high performance distributed systems
• Understanding and implementation of security and data

Our ideal candidate is someone who can can architect complex scalable systems with a keen eye towards performance, security and availability while also taking on a super hands-on role towards implementation (i.e. you must be very much in touch with backend coding and want to do it everyday). Additionally you will need to spearhead all inbound and outbound API integrations to build the most robust and scalable integration platform in the B2B Retail space. You will be responsible for architecture, design and implementation of the entire system to support thousands of customers globally. Our stack is primarily built around NodeJS, Mongo, PHP, MySQL, React and Angular. We have started the transition towards micro services, one of your core responsibilities is ensure micro services are used wherever it makes sense.

Mentoring should come naturally to you, as well as finding the right balance towards process and documentation.

Highlights:
1) You will be working on interesting technical challenges in a product centric and open-source driven environment. The role requires a good knowledge of Algorithmic Design and Architecture, Data structures, OOPS Concepts, server less architectures and complex problem solving skills.
2) You will help set a very high bar on code quality.
3) You will take ownership of product features from conception to implementation, testing deployment and support.
4) A lot of freedom on when and where you work from - just get stuff done.
5) You will open source as much as possible, and blog about cool things that you learnt and built.
6) You will help define who we become as a company.
7) You will get stock options in line with silicon valley standards.

Caveats:
1) We have a strict no-divas rule. There are a lot of smart engineers on the team but no one with an attitude / superiority complex.
2) If you think writing tests for your code, writing docs, doing customer support etc are not your cup of tea, this isn't the right role for you.
3) Similarly if you're viewing this just as a 20-40% increment opportunity over your current compensation, this isn't the right role or company for you.

This role can be the growth opportunity of a lifetime for anyone who has been operating as a backend lead and wants to grow into a full stack
