Salary - 20-30 LPA

Role Description

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer (3-5 years experience) to join our early-stage startup in Bangalore. You’ll work directly with the founding team to design, develop, and scale our core platform — blending technology, curiosity, and customer understanding.

This isn’t a typical corporate role — it’s for someone who loves building things from scratch, thrives in ambiguity, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty to understand how our customers actually work. You’ll be a thinker who asks why before what and how, and who takes ownership from concept to deployment.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain backend APIs and micro services for core business workflows.
• Design and manage databases and data models for real-world use cases.
• Able to build scalable systems
• Handle asynchronous flows using queues/events where required.
• Ensure data correctness, consistency, and reliability.
• Integrate with external systems (vendors, payments, IoT, third-party APIs).
• Debug production issues and improve system stability.
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code.
• Collaborate with frontend, mobile, and product teams to ship features.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of experience in backend development.
• Strong fundamentals in APIs, databases, and backend architecture.
• Experience with at least one backend language/framework (Java / Spring Boot, Node.js, or similar).
• Good understanding of SQL and basic data modeling.
• Familiarity with message queues or background jobs is a plus.
• Ability to debug issues and work independently.
• Comfortable working in a startup or fast-paced environment.
