Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Developer to join our core engineering team in Bengaluru. You will own end-to-end product features — from ideation and architecture through to deployment and monitoring — working closely with product, design, and data teams. This is a hands-on role where your code ships to production and directly impacts thousands of users every day.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Product Development: Own complete feature development across the full stack — from API design and backend business logic to polished, performant frontend UIs.
  • Backend Engineering: Design, develop, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs and microservices using Node.js; ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and optimal performance.
  • Frontend Engineering: Build responsive, accessible, and high-quality user interfaces using ReactJS (or equivalent modern framework); enforce best practices in component design and state management.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Architect and deploy solutions on AWS, leveraging services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, CloudWatch, and more. Drive cost-efficient, scalable infrastructure decisions.
  • AI-Augmented Development: Actively leverage AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to accelerate development velocity, improve code quality, and prototype solutions faster.
  • Low-Level Design & Architecture: Lead technical design discussions; produce clear, well-reasoned LLD documents; participate in architecture reviews and ensure solutions are maintainable and extensible.
  • Problem Solving & Debugging: Investigate and resolve complex production issues; perform root cause analysis; proactively identify and fix performance bottlenecks and reliability risks.
  • Code Quality & Reviews: Write clean, testable, well-documented code; conduct thorough code reviews; champion engineering best practices and mentoring within the team.
  • Collaboration: Work in a fast-paced agile environment with cross-functional teams including Product, QA, DevOps, and Design to deliver high-quality features on time.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current with emerging technologies, evaluate new tools and frameworks, and proactively advocate for technical improvements that add business value.

Backend

  • 4–6 years of professional experience with Node.js (Express / Fastify / NestJS)
  • Strong understanding of RESTful API design, async programming, and event-driven architecture
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)
  • Proficiency with message queues and async processing (SQS, RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc.)

Frontend

  • Strong proficiency in ReactJS (Hooks, Context API, Redux or equivalent) or other modern frontend frameworks (Vue, Angular)
  • Solid command of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript
  • Experience building component libraries, design systems, or micro-frontend architectures
  • Familiarity with build tooling (Webpack, Vite) and testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library)

Cloud – AWS

  • Hands-on experience with core AWS services: EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, CloudFront, VPC, IAM
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration: Docker, ECS / EKS (Kubernetes)
  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, Jenkins)

Problem Solving & Design

  • Demonstrated ability to break down ambiguous problems into well-structured technical solutions
  • Strong low-level design (LLD) skills — class diagrams, sequence diagrams, API contracts, DB schema design
  • Sound knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and system design principles

AI Tooling

  • Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.)
  • Ability to craft effective prompts and integrate LLM APIs or AI-powered features into products

GOOD TO HAVE

  • Experience with SaaS product development at scale
  • Knowledge of observability tools: Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, ELK stack
  • Exposure to GraphQL, gRPC, or WebSockets
  • Contributions to open-source projects or a strong GitHub portfolio
  • Prior experience mentoring junior developers or leading a small engineering pod
